Last week, Street Fighter V ‘s newest character, Laura, was leaked unintentionally via a Japanese publication.
via a Japanese publication. While whether or not the leak hastened the official release is unclear, an official reveal trailer has been released by Capcom via the official Street Fighter YouTube channel.
If you didn’t see the previous coverage, Laura was leaked by a Japanese publication when they intended to reveal only Zangief with the consent of Capcom. Unfortunately, however, a gallery of screenshots featuring Laura in action versus Ryu, signature character of the series. Laura is a Brazilian fighter whose style focuses on kicks, grappling, and submission moves, sprinkled with a command of lightning itself. Like most other Street fighters, Laura’s mastery of her respective martial art has granted her an ability to manipulate the world around her in a way that augments and benefits her fighting style.
Laura sports a green, two-piece jumpsuit, with a top just as modest as any Street Fighter fan might expect. Half her hair is bound in skin-tight braids while the other half flows freely. Her ethnicity, if not hinted at strongly enough by the yellow and green she sports, is distinctly Brazilian, representing yet another new region of the world in Street Fighter ‘s ever-growing roster of represented cultures.
