Capcom has officially announced another member of the four new characters who will join "Street Fighter V."
Last Oct. 1, news about a new character joining "Street Fighter V" leaked online when Famitsu, a Japanese publication, mistakenly released screenshots of the new character while sharing news about Zangief who Capcom has confirmed will be returning to the game. Event Hubs shared this news on their website together with screenshots of the new character.
Capcom has originally announced that there will be four new characters joining the game, two of which have already been announced — Necalli and Rashid. Now, following the leaked info, the studio has officially announced the third character to join "Street Fighter V."
Capcom has officially announced that the third character to join the game is Laura Matsuda, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu player and heir to the Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu fighting style.
According to GameSpot, Laura is the first grappler in the history of the game to have a projectile. It also said that Laura is perfect for gamers who prefer close quarter combat that uses grabs and swift movements.
GameSpot also mentioned some of the character's features.
Laura's V-Skill is called Linear Movement, performed by holding either the back or forward button when pressing the medium punch and kick. When no direction is indicated, it will do an overhead kick.
Her V-Trigger is Spark Show, where she gets wrapped in electric charges, allowing her to do a Thunder Clap projectile for more distance and force.
Below is a trailer for Laura as she appears in "Street Fighter V" courtesy of EB Games NZ.
As previously mentioned, there will be four new characters who will join "Street Fighter V." Now that three of them have already been announced, one more character still remains to be revealed.
Meanwhile, Capcom announced another beta for "Street Fighter V." It will run for four days starting on Oct. 22 for PlayStation 4, followed by a beta for personal computer (PC) on Oct. 24. The beta will end on Oct. 25. The "Street Fighter V" beta is available for those who preorder the game, which hopefully launches by the end of the first quarter of 2016.
