Her fighting style appears to be a form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, her chops is a reference to fellow practitioners. Laura has been seen to use grappling techniques and breaking throws. Some of her kicking moves are similar to Elena's Rhino Horn and she is able to manipulate electricity similar to Blanka when using her melee special attacks. Her projectile works in a similar fashion to Juri's Fuhajin and some of her special attacks include grabbing her opponent and break their leg while another involves slamming the opponent to the ground and breaking their arm.

Her Critical Art has her grabbing the opponent in a tornado fashion in mid air and slams them to the ground, forming a lightning strike as she spins her opponent in a electric dodge ball (similar to Blanka's first Ultra Combo in the Street Fighter IV games) to finish her opponent with a headlock.
