Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Laurence Blood

Gameplay Overview

Laurence is a big defensive bullfighter who, fittingly enough, specializes in being 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.

Pros	Cons
BC sidestep will avoid nearly everything and allow unique punishes Strong chipping potential Versatile and damaging Breakshots Good safety on a surprising amount of stuff	Big body without many big normals to back it up Poor mobility No real way to press offense without baiting the opponent Completely crumbles against characters with command grabs Very limited combo chains Unique execution compared to others thanks to multiple charge specials
