V-System

V-Reversal

Double Slap is a 17f V-Reversal. Laura puts her hands together and smacks the opponent away, giving them a good zap.

V-Skill 1

Laura's V-Skill 1, Volty Line, gives Laura access to a command dash by pressing 4MP+MK or 6MP+MK and a new overhead attack with MP+MK. Both can be canceled into from any normal besides HK and 2HK. After a dash, continuing to hold the button with automatically go into the overhead attack while tapping will just perform the dash. The back dash can also be canceled into the forward dash, or Sunset wheel. The dash is in a counter hit state during the entirety of it, and has no invincibility.

V-Skill 2

V-Skill 2 is Volty Sprink. Laura leaps into the air, which can be used for corpse hopping or side switching with Thunder Clap out. The leap itself cannot hit grounded opponents, but does cause a juggle state against airborne making it useful after her MP > MK target combo. She can also follow up with 2 moves: Thunder Spike and Heavy Heel. Thunder Spike (P) fires a thunder clap at a downwards angle and slightly pushes Laura back. Thunder Spike is different from Thunder Clap, meaning both can be out at the same time. Heavy Heel has Laura kick the opponent with her heel, and is -2 on block or +3 on hit allowing LP to link afterwards. With VT2 activated, performing the jump after the dodge becomes projectile invincible.

V-Trigger 1

Spark Show is a 3 bar V-Trigger that powers up all of Laura's specials with slightly more damage and stun. Thunder Clap charges much faster, and EX Version travels much further. Thunder Claps can also be canceled into V-Skill, which consumes 50% of the remaining V-Trigger. See above for details on how it affects each V-Skill. With V-Skill 1, the dash travels further in both direction (which can affect EX Thunder Clap mixups), the overhead becomes +4 allowing it to combo afterwards, and any Thunder Clap can be canceled into Volty Line. With VS2, Laura can charge Thunder Spikes which greatly increases their advantage on hit and block.

V-Trigger 2

Spark Stance is a 2 bar V-Trigger that allows Laura to perform Matsuda Sway and Shock Choke. Matsuda Sway is a dodge that is fully invincible (except to throws) from frames 3-33. It can be canceled into Shock Choke, or either V-Skills. Both V-Skills are projectile invulnerable when canceled into, and V-Skill 1's Linear Movement can be canceled into Shock Choke when canceled into from Sway (HP+HK xx 6MP+MK xx HP+HK). Shock Choke (HP+HP from Matsuda Sway or Sway xx VS1 Dash) is a 7f command grab that leaves the opponent staggered at -19, allowing Laura to follow up with another attack such as 6HP > HP xx HP Bolt Charge. The command grab does not have any invulnerability. It will also auto-correct if the opponent changes changes sides with Laura during the Sway. Shock Choke consumes 40% of the V-Gauge when used.
