Cross ups, resets and Crush Counter combos; check out all this Laura tech from the Street Fighter 5 beta

Dayum!

Little off topic, but Karin's reset is gone in this build

She looks easy to learn, but her biggest combos will most likely come from frametraps, which she seems to be built for. In other words, easy to learn, hard to play.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Is this America only or something? I can't connect and I'm in Canada.

One more small combo

Forward Hp, Hp then V-skill

I don't know about the rest of the day, but it stopped working for me at 7 am. I had time to play about 30 minutes and, even though I was practicing Laura, I was forced to play with Karin and Rashid during real matches.

Yea bruh

So 80% of these videos combos require a successful jump in and most of the others combos require either a crush count or Vtrigger cancel. The quality of the videos and uploaders efforts is great, but Laura herself seems quite limited in combo ability outside of jump ins and Vtrigger cancels. If a player has good anti air options and any kind of patience many of these combos will never land.

Well she is a grapple character, so that could be the reason why.

Her whole gameplan relies on pressure , mixups with her projectile and frame traps.

not working for me either

which combo's are u guys talking about?

Her damage from command grabs looks low and people have been saying they feel her normals lack good range and her overall damage output feels somewhat low. Like I said great effort from the uploaders, I am just digesting all the content that has been posted by players on Laura in the form of message board posts and videos, that is all. Since PC didn't get any BETA Access their generous efforts and commentary are all I have to go on right now.

I feel like she could use a Makotoesque command grab (one that allows grounded follow ups) and higher stun if they are going to keep her damage where it is.

Nerf Fighter 5! Facepalm wasn't even that good you were neutral advantage at best.

I wish they would have given her an accent, i do not like Laura's voice. or to be more precise it doesn't fit the character design imo

Why does everyone always do jump in combos in these videos?

Must be available in some areas I'm in New Orleans, LA and cant get in F**k you Crapcom open the damn beta.

Lots of sexism on eventhubs. If Laura was a man or an overweight women no one would be complaining that she doesn't have any links. But because she looks the way she does, everyone just assumes she's a combo character. Tsk Tsk.

Agreed. A few missed oppotunities with this character. Very underwhelming.

Something about her english voice is off

That's just what happens. My Nash has been getting nerfed with every build. Adapting is the only solution

Getting you ready for the sea of Ryu and Kens to come when the game releases of course.

Her V-Trigger increases her stun damage output.

Welp, she's a grappler alright.

Lol true

she's not as limited as that dry character you got in your avatar

shid the sea is over flowing right now during the beta

Wat

So she can confirm super off high or low, has a command grab that (ffs put on quick rise) seems to keep the opponent grounded a long time, has the best type of fireball for setups, a command forward or back dash in a footsie oriented game (the most useful thing ever and she has a command grab)!!!!, has a very long range overhead she can combo off of....despite having at first glance (still day negative several months/its a beta) poor defense she sounds really strong. No clue what people are talking about saying she looks weak

I think it's sarcasm :)! ... I hope so o.o ...

I main Kanji so I have to main all thunder based grapplers

At least this one looks good.

"Tech..."

God im getting old.

Anyway, that was some cool ish

On Laura's low damage output:

Laura is a low damage character who can hit you a lot. That's fair, but it seams weak overall. The issue is that her V-trigger gives her a lot more stun. Which makes hitting you a lot suddenly more terrifying. Consider the following scenario:

Any V-trigger confirm will deal half stun. Which means the next touch will put you juuuust under full stun. Thats perfect because if you hit them with pretty much anything at all after that, you will get a stun. So you could be beating laura badly all match, but if she hits you with a fierce into V-Trigger then will put u at half stun, and will get a mixup. If she guesses right on that mixup, then the next solid hit, command grab, overhead, backdash overhead, or regular grab will win her the game. This does not necessarily require meter from Laura and we are generously assuming that the opponent is entering into this scenario with full life and stun.

Is anyone else starting to realize just how terrible this game is or is it just me? I REALLY want to like it, but man I just don't. I'm sad :-(

The last video gave me a few ideas but I played with Laura non-stop for two hours. I know I was definitely not playing her to her full potential and she is pretty weak on defense without meter, I think. But for some reason I think I want to keep going with her. At least until I can check out Zangief.

Combos that start with a jump in! #Kreygasm

Don't see how its terrible . what makes it terrible to you?

No. It looks great, but haven't play that yet.why is it not good?

I have basically given up on it and raised the white flag in defeat, it just isn't a fun experience for me or my friends to play (one of whom just refunded his PC pre-order of SF5 last night too). When people with BETA/Stress Test access are ignoring it for USF4 sessions or actually prefer just surfing the web to playing SF5, it says a lot.

I just find it stiff and lifeless. I've played it a lot over the past two betas and at first I thought that I was just so used to SF4 and that its virtues would surface in time. I just feel bored doing the same 4 or 5 hit simple combos and playing street fighter...which gets old real fast. SF4 has so much meta with the FADC mechanic and this is sorely missed in SF5. The graphics are a bit better and will improve a bit more between now and release but honestly it doesn't look that much better than SF4 as it is now. I think that unless Capcom adds some new mechanic, the game is in trouble of dying off quick. All that it needs really is some way of cancelling certain normal and specials into a dash forward or back to extend combos and add some unpredictability to the game.
