Laurence is a big bullfighter who, fittingly enough, is a defensive character that is hard to hit. He has a powerful invincible dodge, an anti-air flash kick with huge horizontal reach, and some dangerous Breakshots. Unfortunately, his normals don't allow him as good space control as one might assume, his combo/punishes are limited, and his dodge completely loses to command grabs. To play Laurence, you need to read your opponent well and frustrate them into making a big enough mistake to capitalize on. And his stage theme is a serious banger too.
