SFV Final Patch at a glance - Laura

[@SpockShirtleB3rri3s]

I will NEVER stop watching Bafael bc the way he contextualizes tools is so useful and important, I cannot understand how much better of a player I am in every game I play as a result

[@firegiantcheese6882]

I dont even play SFV anymore, but i watch every one of these vids bc theyre so well made

[@2uo96]

This. Lol

[@LoDart210]

Same. I think the bad part is that these changes don't convince me to go back either lol

[@animagamer2]

I've never played Street fighter 5 and yet I still watch them all

[@Sagaleon14]

There’s this guy on CFN: ChalcosomaAtlas. The dude is committed to playing Laura VS2/VT2 and gets DESTROYED because of how shitty that setup is. I hope this helps him out.

[@KazanmaTheSilverWind]

That Sway kinda reminds me of Mary's Real Counter in KoF, but that only lets you go into a command grab. This is WAY more bonkers, in a good way

[@Vsolid]

I was kinda thinking of Naoto’s Shift Sway in BlazBlue but that was a bit of a far cry.

[@deathbringer9893]

@@Vsolid yea with naoto it was a bit commital and does not stod fast moves as it wiffs on crouchers

[@sporechump]

Guys, I think Ryu almost did it.

[@tyce184]

so Laura is out here roll canceling now, neat

[@kevingriffith6011]

That's exactly what I thought when he said "The follow-up attack is also projectile invulnerable"

[@Atlas_FGC]

It's kind of funny watching SF get new things that I've seen for quite awhile in other games that I've played for over a decade. Sway's changes are pretty interesting since you aren't railroaded into a specific followup like Blue Mary, Kliff. or Naoto in KOF, GG, and BB respectively.

[@goldengoldy0197]

Wow this reminds me a lot of KoF 98 Dodge

[@SamStraker]

I honestly never see Luara in my games. so little in fact I'm confused at what she does,and I fold whenever a see a good one

[@keybutler2593]

It's funny you mention that. When I play a Laura mirror a lot of them can't fight Laura either lmao

[@nuclearcoconut3664]

not street fighter, but that type of invuln is very similar to shulk's monado art switch in smash 4/ult (14 s, cancelling them into anything removes them)

[@NeoGato2point0]

I really wished for Makoto in this game but i feel like Laura kind of fills her gameplay niche in SFV.

[@usernameluis305]

2:25 this is an interesting development

[@boateye]

Finally, my girl Laura 🙌🏿

[@SolidBones]

Isn't the invincibility ending as soon as you hit a button similar to hakan's backdash into button while oiled? Or does that not actually work that way

[@Bafael]

Oh yeah it's similar to that too

[@garou12]

Her vt2 is basically dodge attack from kof 95

[@RedmundR2]

the sway version invincibilty reminds me of omega mode cody in sf4, down + triple kicks in a way, except that move just gives invuln and theres no direct cancel out of it, making it much harder to use than this imo

[@CrossfacePanda]

So basically, Laura got a ghetto metered CVS2 Roll Cancel lol

[@spawnreloaded4423]

I believe its an improvement, but its a gamble between knowing when 2 use the active v trigger and cancelling into other normals but very effective once inputed precisely

[@aAaAaAaAaA1234567ize]

Holy shit i might actually play vs2 vt2 laura now I really like these changes

[@chinesemassproduction]

I feel like Laura is the SFV version of Makoto, as dumb as that sounds.

[@franlychandraariefmoerwant1040]

All i want for laura since season 4 is st.mk to br 6f from 7f startup ,.... but i guess it will never happen :(,

[@smashmaniac2008]

Sway not being free makes me sad

[@dekuskrub2154]

ok but you can go into buttons now

[@strippinheat]

The dodge originally took meter, then they buffed it so it only used meter when you did the throw, and now they went back to having the dodge cost meter. So it went from being the worst to the worst to the worst. I tried it for a while and just went back to VT1. And VS1 is still basically mandatory for Laura since it gives her better pressure and mix ups while also being her only grounded overhead. No, 6HP isn't an overhead despite how it looks.

[@xavierblaster]

nice vid

[@ragindemonvergil6776]

Ryu getting that backhand from laura made me click. Thumbs up here!!!

[@eyekantspele9548]

Tbh I kinda enjoy playing vt2 more even though vt1 is clearly better

[@Neogears1312]

Same. I like the combos more they feel more fun. It also reminds me of blue Mary.

[@TheJollyBouncer]

Nice

[@bamstar9419]

can you increase the volume next vid

[@robertgeorge4602]

On the one hand, I love the changes to V Trigger 2. But on the other hand, its way more expensive. They should have made some of the actions cost less. Character is a mixed bag, love her gameplay though. Kind of like Abel. A hybrid between a mix up character and a grappler. Though for proposed buffs, outside of making VT2 cost less, maybe some extra stuff to V-skill 2 and make that active frame buff apply to all thunder claps but thats about it. If I was good at gameplay mods, I would try to make my own version of SFV. but then again, mysterious mod exists and its way better than anything I can come up with.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

Getting invincibility without commitment is likely a bug that gets patched out. It's pretty much against SFVs design principles.

[@Bafael]

It's obviously intended given the massive trigger timer cost and given it's a change that would be impossible to do on accident.

[@kevingriffith6011]

I'll have to double check it, but I think only the fireball invincibility transfers, you're still vulnerable to strikes so a late meaty could potentially blow you up... plus this costs you 40% of your V-Time, small consolation, I know.

[@Bafael]

@@kevingriffith6011 that's correct, it's only fireball invincibility that transfers. As I said a couple times in the video you start being vulnerable as soon as you hit a button

[@deathbringer9893]

@@Bafael whats the cancle window? can you do it at the very end?

[@DTortu0]

Nice try you almost did it

[@sleepybones5726]

Yikes

[@Neogears1312]

Honestly I hope they rework her character. Laura is unironically a very fun character I think it’d be nice to have stay a mainstay. I just wish all her costumes weren’t tna and she didn’t have this weird hyperactive bratty kid personality despite the previously mentioned sex appeal. It’s a very Adon situation. I think the kit is cool and a lot of the grapplers could learn from her and G but i get annoyed from the voice 24/7 and I’d like a design that was different from all her other sexy outfits. Even cammy and Chun, hell even POISON get something that’s more stylish than titillating. This move pool is a lot like C.Viper, it’s a shame to have such an interesting kit attached to such an unenjoyable personality and gaudy design.

[@DiseasedCows]

It's what you deal with to play the character though. Abigail is a big screaming retard who makes car noises but I wouldn't have it any other way

[@Sasiskin7823]

You are under every character video saying "this character should be reworked". We get it you dont like sfv design, move on.

[@coltranebartlett590]

I like Laura because her costumes are so hot. God I wish Brazilians were real. She's been my main for a few months since I've started playing but now I'm trying out Dan.

[@yikes6758]

holy shit i loved sway before even when it was terrible, and now it has SO much sauce I just wish the raw grab wasn't so expensive, and IMO the sway should have remained free and the VT cost loaded into the followup action, so just the raw dodge could still be used without having to consume v-timer
