What makes you believe that? She has pretty high pick-rate. Popular characters always find their way back.
I just hope they make her Gi outfit her regular costume.

I bet Laura will be playable in Street Fighter 6
She is a v.popular character.

March 2021 - Laura is only two places behind Chun-Li

Ken and Ryu dominate.
I never understood all the attention Sakura receives?
F.A.N.G should be dropped from SF6 - he is last position

This would make for a great statue, complete with clear resin FX, maybe include light-up. Haven't seen that done before.

Laura is like the missing SF2 original character. The original theme of World Warriors was fighting style from different countries duke it out to see who wins, before it got more story focused with Shadowloo and all the magic stuff. Laura represents Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and her whole deal is to see how far she can go with it, that's pretty much it. She's a real SF character.

However I think SF6 they will probably bring back Sean, he will be powered up kind of like Dan in SFV, maybe a modernized mixed-martial art/Jiu-jitsu this time around.

They may have the both brother/sister duo, but I think Sean will get higher priority this time around.

When's the original Menat reveal?

Would be nice. They must be close to ready to unveil her at this point

There is no way they finished Felicia before the regular costume. I wonder if they revealed Felicia just to check the feedback and make adjustments to the original design.

I'm not too big a fan of Laura, but I doubt she'll be back in VI - not at least until DLC a couple years later.

I don't think Sean will be back either. Imo, he's a dud. They have fleshed out the Matsuda family, and I bet we see another member though, either older brother Fabio, cousin Enzo de Silva (capoeira), or even grandfather Kinjiro.

Capcom don't use popularity as a primary choice in character selection.

Obviously not, otherwise we would have seen her by now.

I have no clue why they show the variant before the orginal design and leave us waiting for more weeks without any new information. Now after the community manager confirmed there will be a THIRD variant (Swimsuit Menat) I believe they might scrap the Felicia variant after the mostly negative feedback.
