Finally picked this up on that flash sale.

Am I crazy or is it way harder to hit wingless airplane on someone who was just popped up by Nadesico now? In the beta my go to was the lariat/forced run thing - > Nadesico from their side -> wingless airplane. The thing where it works with no Nadesico when you're real close to the corner still seems to be in there but doing it that old way is hosed. I'm also really loving the Hugo throwback with the anti-air move who's arc likes to miss whenever it's really important.

Is cr.HP the go to normal for cancelling into specials for Laura? And is there a reason the trials all use jmp.HK to start combos? It seems like a badass anti-air but jmp.HP looks like the better jump in.

I like Laura's style but it's hard not to go dumb with her elbow and forward->HP->HP->air throw thing.


Edit: Any handy beginner tips for her would be cool really. I'm switching off between her and Mika, and then using the Ryu guide posted last page when the salt is too strong.

Edit2: The tip about people instinctively expecting a 2nd fireball was really helpful. That's the simple kind of mind game I can keep in my head while a match, has a lot of applications and it's really easy to see when someone flips their thinking and STOPS expecting the 2nd.

Yeah but I don't know poo poo and everytime someone describes which normals to use for a character I'm always surprised about what does what, especially Hard's. I assume that one just has a great hitbox and beats everything in the air, but I don't know.

cr.mk will combo into lp elbow, if it hits you're something like +2 so you can do a mp(?)/throw mixup. I don't remember what it is on block but I think it's safe? Maybe.


I don't know off the top of my head, but if it's not at least close, I can't see a reason for it to exist. Not that that's ever stopped capcom.

lp elbow is -2 on block, you just lose momentum if it doesn't land. You still have some options if its blocked, jab will win more than it should and ex elbow can armor through a lot. For the other questions, cr.mp, cr.hp, st.lp/lk and cr.mk are all fine for cancelling into elbow, cr.hp does the most dmg/best range but is slower so riskier. I don't know her jump normals well but j.hk probably hits farther forward than j.hp, so it has some use for tagging people with max range jumps that are hard to AA. if you still wanna use f.hp there are ways to make it safe but I don't know em.

If you're not already, start replacing command grabs with backthrows. Her backthrow easily allows for another mixup, can loop into itself and can be done right after lp elbow. If someone jumps you can react punish them with hp elbow. You don't even lose that much damage doing it over the command throw, and its faster!

Thanks! I saw a vid that showed off a lot of the backthrow tech yesterday and it looked cool. How should I start working in her v-skills? I don't see many people talking about her V-Dashing and the only things I've seen about the overhead is that you want to keep it at max range, it's cancelable (or cancelable into?) and it causes a crush counter on people in the air. I would have figured this would be an option after that back throw but it didn't get mentioned. Is there some other overhead for her that's more useful?

As someone who sucks balls at combos with more than 3 parts, I'm lovin' Laura. Some questions though...

Can someone explain in simpler terms than usual what her dash's utility is? I know people say it's cancellable from normals/specials(?)...does that mean you can backdash out of blocked strings? or that it automatically links from them like mp->bolt charge?

When people say that the back throw sets up a loop...is it on me to time their get up? When I saw a vid on it it looked like there wasn't variable timing for getting up

I get swept all drat day, especially at the end of blockstrings. What are some options for avoiding that? Neutral jumping? Just learning to stop hitting buttons all the time?

What's the philosophy behind her fireballs? They're obviously real good for making it safe to go forward from long range but I'm just sort of winging it otherwise and tend to forget about them.


I'm desperate for any and all Laura beginner info really. I can post a vid if anyone wants but it's like day 2 of playing her and not even from after I played through her normal challenge and developed a slightly better offense.

I get too salty and forget to regrab my losses for posting here, but here's a set I probably shouldn't have won. Don't actually roast me this is like day 3 and it takes me a longo time to get good but I'll take any advice. Despite appearances I really was trying to find time for a throw mixup but just couldn't get it rolling, I'm going to spend tonight trying not to worry too much about losing and forcing myself to stay grounded and find dash in throws. I have a bad habit of throwing unsafe everything, but particularly mp bolt charge.

Can you get random chars in friendlies?

Sick! Thats DOPE posted:

Your offense is mostly purposeless and your defense is nonexistent. You should look for more solid hits into special move instead of guessing overhead and leaving damage off landed jabs, crush counter hk, etc. On defense just block, dont try to sneak in hits. Wait for them to push out or jump and escape.

Thanks, Are we talking like cr.HP or st.MP into specials? And what are people usually doing with landed jabs with Laura?

Yeah out of all the things Overwatch does well (a lot), I was most impressed by Blizzard achieving the 2000's dream of "It's got characters like a fighting game but it's a...". Their gimmicks, differentiation, and simplicity hits that sweet spot.

It's weird, it's almost like the lack of work on each character makes them feel more FG style. Their backstory is tossed off, they're aggressively styled to make up for it, no one is fussed over and made into an obvious star.

I know it is a common complaint but I just wished the game offered like anything at all for someone who hasn't been playing fighting games against other people the past decade. Single players stuff, some sort of skill filtering in the online queue, or maybe an actual rookie only pool you can play in for like 100 matches or something (even if the queue takes forever). The game play is super fun and I want to keep playing it but throw me a bone Capcom.

It would be one thing if playing against good people made you better at the game but there is a level where it feels like the opposite. Like I'm not learning anything against Super Silver Vega beyond that I can probably manage to land a jab to avoid giving him a perfect.

You just gotta get out of randoms and find a group to battle lounge with, any group. Are you playing casual matchmaking or ranked? Because I'm starting to wonder if there's a Hearthstone effect going on here where "casual" is actually full of good people who don't want their numbers to go down while they work out some kinks on their char and ranked is mostly dummies like me who don't actually care what their number is.

I like the online because sometimes a person will beat me by just a bit and then not give me the runback, which is even better than winning. I give everyone a full set unless the game matches me up with a ridiculous mismatch and it's clear that it's a waste of time for both of us. If it's even slightly interesting or fun I'll let it go because 5 lp who cares.

Sometimes when the matchmaking pool is really shallow my opponent refuses runback and I get matched with them again anyway

What's your guys' LP level? I'm constantly hovering at the spot between bronze and superbronze and I've never had to wait more than a minute for a match, and at least half of them are close enough skill-wise if not exactly league-wise.

And I'm not sure how we'd be able to tell but how reliable are people's country flags? Sometimes if I stay up super late on west coast I'll end up playing Korean and Japanese flags all night but only a few of them actually have foreign alphabet PSN names.

I played FANG all weekend. Bronze league owns, if zoning doesn't work and my fraud rear end can't cr.mk/cr.hk my way to victory there's always a chance you can just spam the gently caress out of st.HK and win. Boobs are cool. Laura is a good char.

You can rope me in on that. I hover right on the border of bronze and ultra bronze depending on which character I hated myself enough to play that day. I'm usually a too aggro Laura but I can play Gief, Ryu, Fang, and Vega badly too.

Playing FANG online is a lot of fun and makes for good blocking practice. I'm too in love with his sweep though I need to stop doing it so much.

Edit: Is there a point to doing any version of his poison carpet/geyser that's not HK? Any other general FANG tips for someone just starting out? I'm pretty much just trying to copy Xians zoning and then mostly failing at everything else unless the person is completely unprepared for his jump HK or sweep. also, does anything combo out of cr.mk?
