She cannot be his mom, so... maybe a cousin, but that would be lame. Sister is the only logical conclusion to be honest.

Yeah cousin's would be lame. I'm 100% sure she's his sister though. I mean, why give her the last name Matsuda and have her be Sean's cousin. Like, what would be the point?

We are though

Nah, we aren't. lol. I'm going to continue pretending that abomination of a reveal trailer never happened.

I called Laura having some clear relationship with Sean weeks ago, though it wasn't exactly rocket science. It gives me hope that Sean will be in the game eventually.

Can I get a source for Laura being sean's sister?
No explicit mention of their relation, but they are both Matsudas. That's from the Capcom Unity link above.

also
As the next heir of the famed Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu fighting style, Laura is constantly looking for strong opponents around the world to defeat, in an effort to spread the Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu’s name and prestige. Generally a happy and outgoing spirit, Laura finds she is the most content and most focused in the heat of battle.

Yea this part was lame. Its like they are running out of character backstories. They could have done something else with the character.

But then again dont Honda,Gief and Hakan do the exact same thing?

Like she needs money for her sick and dying grandpa, who happens to be a BJJ master.

only so many reasons to travel around the world to punch dudes in the face if you think about it. Its normally one of the following ; get stronger, get revenge, Boredom, Mah Dojo, Fight Money, I am evil, Justice, or love.

I think Gief does more out of national pride than anything else.

Best reason, imo.

I mean, it's a tournament. Getting your dojo's name out there is a great reason to enter.

True.

Ryu has pretty much been joining because he likes to fight for a while now. He doesn't even have the whole beat the Dark Hadou thing anymore if Bison's win quote is to be believed.

Ryu...why are you even here man? Ken too...isn't he just bored w/ being rich and having a hot wife.

He's just a Japanese guy taking in a fight.

I bet Laura gets a carnival alt like Blanka did in SF4

Such a waste of costume D:

I'd rather get something more interesting, a 'carimbó' outfit would be neat. The default color would probably be terrible, but with alt colors, the dress would possibly look cool, I'd love to see how the skirt behaves with the physics in this game.

Sometimes I think I was the only person who played Sean

Don't you act like Uppercut into Hadou Burst wasn't satisfying as hell in SF3 now

I mean, I don't think half the people who hate on 3s here have ever done what you just described, so I wouldn't take it to heart. You read a lot of funny stuff, like Urien's (visual) design is okay but Gill's design is shit. Just know you'll have the last laugh when you drop a mid screen jumpshot on 'em a year from now. #kobe
