Meet Laura, The New Street Fighter V Character
When Street Fighter V goes on sale early next year, it’ll include the requisite amount of fan favorites, and a few new people. Among them will be Laura, who was shown in a crop of new images today fighting Zangief in the game. Zangief was also recently announced to be returning for the latest installment of the classic fighting game franchise.
Unlike her new counterparts, Rashid and Necalli, Laura wasn’t intended to be revealed so early. The press only found out about her today because of Famitsu, who intended to show off a lot of screenshots relating to Zangief and ended up picking a bunch with Laura as his opponent. All we know about Laura so far is what can be gleaned from the photos: her attacks resemble Brazilian jiu-jutsu and she’s surrounded by Brazilian elements, implying Brazil is the country she hails from. Her special attacks involve the use of self-generated electrictiy. And she loves the color green, apparently.
Capcom has previously said they would be adding just four new fighters to the game; with the revelation of Laura, this leaves one mystery combatant left. Street Fighter V is currently planned for an early 2016 release, and will be a Playstation 4 exclusive, though Windows PC gamers will also get their own version.
