Laura Reveal! (sf5)
Not as Jiu Jitsuey as I would have liked. But it’s been pointed out to me that I wouldn’t think a Street Fighter was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu enough unless they could hold you down for 99 seconds and make the timer run down, ha ha.
Confirmed on Capcom’s Japanese website to be Sean’s older sister (姉), and practicing the family style of Matsuda Jiu Jitsu.
Presumably it was taught to her by her Japanese grandfather, as it was canon he was teaching Sean Jiu Jitsu.
-From before meeting Ken did he have sure killing technique experience?
A. From the time as a child being taught jujutsu from his Japanese descent grandfather, from the time he was 10 years old he was firing up for soccer and basketball and other sports.-SF3 Q&A from Gamest SF3 Fanbook
Laura Leaked! (sf5)
Update: She has been officially announced now.
Just when I thought today couldn’t get any better for grapplers after Zangief was announced, Famitsu leaked pictures of a new character Laura, who appears to be doing at least SOME Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
I called it that she would be BJJ when I first heard the rumor a while back that she would be from Brazil, but I won’t be 100% convinced till I see her for sure NOT doing Capoeira. Call me paranoid but she reminds me a little too much of Christie from Tekken.
If you believe the rumors that have been right so far, this leaves only 2 characters to be announced to fill out the SFV launch roster. 1 More “Classic Character”, and one more brand new character named “Zen” from India (who I predict will have stretchy arms, replacing Dhalsim in the cast).
Look for the official announcement, details, and video around October 8-12, while Capcom is at the Brazil Game Show, the pattern so far has been to release characters at events in their native country. [Read more…]
