Powers and Abilities

The beautiful Laura (also known as Laura Matsuda), is a character that first appeared in Street Fighter V. Born in Brazil to Yuichiro and Brenda Matsuda, Laura was trained from childhood in the art of Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu by her grandfather, Kinjiro Matsuda. After she later became heir to the Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu style (following the departure of her older brother), Laura continued to grow in her fighting skills, reaching her peak in early adulthood. Eager to showoff her abilities and to test her strengths as a fighter, Laura began to look for opponents to spar with outside her home, resulting in her birth as a “wandering warrior.”

Laura is an incredibly gifted and powerful character in the Street Fighter series, and is an expert at Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu which is modeled heavily after the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style. As such, Laura’s moves are heavily focused on both grappling and throws. These powerful moves are augmented by her special combos that include “Thunder Clap,” as well as her signature “Inazuma Spin Hold.” She is generally classified as a character that is best-suited for intermediate to advanced players, however, as her moves can be difficult to learn and master without adequate practice.

Personality and Appearance

Regarding her overall personality and demeanor, Laura can be best-described as a character that is “bohemian” in her mannerisms, as she is extremely free-spirited and unorthodox. Likewise, she is a major thrill seeker and can come across as both pretentious and showy at times (due to her desire to self-promote). Nevertheless, she is extremely easy to befriend and converse with, and maintains a strong sense of loyalty and devotion towards her friends and family.

Originally designed with “sex appeal” in mind, Laura’s developers sought to create a character that was both aesthetically pleasing and strong. The end result of their efforts was an incredibly beautiful and sexy character that has become renowned for her long black hair, sensuous lips, and penetrating brown eyes. Donning a number of costumes that are both bright and extremely revealing, very little is left to the imagination as Laura’s large breasts, stomach, and long legs are constantly on display. Likewise, Laura almost always wears low-fitting pants or shorts that showcase the top of her thong underwear. Taken together, each of these aspects make her one of the sexiest characters to have ever appeared in Street Fighter (and the video game industry, in general).
