Laura (Street Fighter V)

Laura is a playable character in Capcom's Street Fighter V. A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu user from Sao Paulo, Laura wins over the competition through the vast skill required to handle her, and not because of her delicious Brazilian funbags.

In Season 4, Laura was considered a dominant character, even allowing the normally boisterous and animated IDOM to defeat CM Punk in the grand finals of Capcom Cup, though reports persist that IDOM received outside help in the form of a curse by a certain Jewish speedrunner.

In Season 5, according to Floe, Laura "finally became a good character" sporting a well-rounded moveset and very fair modifcations to the range and width of her hitboxes. However, not everyone was satisfied with her changes, leading to a massive backlash against Capcom and the lead designer of Street Fighter, Yoshinori Ono.

Ono explained the reasoning behind the changes to Laura in Season 5 in a since-deleted YouTube video reportedly filmed in the closet of his hotel room in Los Angeles during Capcom Cup:


 * Capcom come to me and say, "All hentai artists want Laura. No one else just Laura. You make Laura strong so everyone play her!" I tell them "No, Laura already strong, fans want Alex to be strong!" Then they beat me. Every time they say "You make Laura strong so we make money on Laura hentai! You do this now!!" I beg them. I tell them we can't do this to the players. What if we make female Ryu instead, very sexy! They say no, they try that with Seth and nobody care, they just want sexy Brazilian. They make me buff Laura. I can't stop them. Please someone help they say they will kill me if I don't also turn every character into Street Fighter into a girl and give them big boob! I say "Why not give Blanka boobs he's fun character!" And they slap me in face!"

The video cut out at that point.
