While sharing screenshots of the earlier announced Zangief, Famitsu has accidentally leaked screenshots of Laura, the third of the four new additions to the Street Fighter roster.

Based off the Brazil stage and fighting style, it's clear she's from Brazilian. Judging by the attacks, it appears she's more based around Brazilian jiu-jitsu than capoeira.

While some fans were expecting Blanka, Laura does seem to share a certain elemental similarity: electricity. In one image, an entire bolt of lightning comes crashing down on top of Ryu.

So far, Capcom has released no additional information concerning the leaked character. We will continue to update the story as new information becomes available.

Check out the screenshots below.
