{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses | |||
| intro = '''Lauren Shiba''' is a highly mobile character with huge buttons, a run rather than a dash, and a unique double jump | |||
| pros = | |||
*'''Neutral Domination''' - As the active character, Lauren has very strong neutral tools with her huge sword normals, easily accessible projectile reflect, flame carpet, and fast run | |||
*'''Floor is Lava''' - Lauren's double jump can be used to avoid anti-airs, escape from an opponent's Zord, set up solo left/right mixups, and can be manipulated by her jH and jS | |||
*'''Restricted Air Space''' - Lauren has a very strong anti-air that can stop jumps from most distances, including crossups | |||
*'''Support Value''' - Lauren's assist and numerous tag out options give her great support value on any team | |||
*'''Flipout Mix''' - Lauren's mixups after a 5L flipout reset are incredibly diverse and layered | |||
*'''Parry This, Filthy Casual''' - Lauren can set up unblockable resets from almost any starter | |||
| cons= | |||
*'''No Escape from Crossing Fate''' - Lauren has a relatively weak backdash which makes her reliant on 64L and jumping to escape away from pressure | |||
*'''Middling Damage''' - Lauren has mediocre and somewhat inconsistent damage as a solo character. She can struggle to kill characters without assists ready for unblockable resets | |||
*'''Feels Weird Man''' - Lauren's run, double jump, and pseudo-motion inputs give her a different feel than the rest of the cast, which is weird to many players | |||
*'''Execution''' - Lauren has higher execution requirements than much of the roster | |||

Lauren is a character with a versatile kit. 6S 2H has a high risk, but it also has a high reward because it can kill with an optimal enough combo. 6S 2H can be reflexed be Lauren, Anubis Cruger, and Scorpina. There are a lot of characters who can punish it. 5S-6S is a bit safer since you are not whiffing a button, but rather you are launching projectiles. The butterflies can keep her safe as she runs in. Her rushdown game is pretty good. Her dash jump allows for ambiguous cross ups. Her run is incredible threatening to the opponent. You still have to be careful because they can hit you out of it. Her jump dash(jS) is great for avoiding projectiles and gaining space. If they do manage to hit you, you can still block. 64L is a great stalling tool against projectile spam.

'''Neutral''' | |||
Use her gigantic pokes to call out the opponent's movement and whiff punish. Use her forward run in combination with her 64L for a non-linear movement pattern to bait approaches while reflecting enemy projectiles and counterpoking. In most matchups, you can control the ground by placing 6s and punishing any enemy approaches by pushblocking them into the carpet or reflecting projectiles with 64L. However, watch out for the opponent's long pokes such as Gia 4S or Zedd 5H because if Lauren gets hit, the carpet goes away. If the opponent refuses to approach or throw projectiles, then we can start doing 5S~6S to chip and provide cover for our own approach, we can 6S2H6S for a full-screen poke, we can dash 5M or 5H for a hard callout option, or we can approach using dash jump normals. | |||
'''Offense''' | |||
Dash jump normals are going to be your safest means of offense, vary her approach with j.S to bait anti-airs and alternate between her different jumping normals to make her trickier to anti-air. If the opponent blocks on the ground, you're at a fairly large advantage, allowing you to either continue your offense or reset back to neutral. However, if the opponent manages to block you in the air, try not to end the air blockstring in j.H as that will leave you at the largest disadvantage. | |||

On point, she has multiple moves that control a lot of space for a long time, so they provide good opportunities to tag. Her flame carpet (6S) is a great tool to do before a tag out after killing a character. This holds the opponent still allowing for a mix-up.

Introduction
Health: 1000
Walk Speed: - forward, - back
Sweet, tough, and kind-hearted, Lauren Shiba took over the role of Red Samurai Ranger momentarily and led the team against Nighlok. Lauren spent her life mastering the sealing symbol in secret, while her younger brother Jayden led the Samurai Rangers until her return. After Lauren used the Sealing Symbol on Master Xandred, she relinquished her leadership role back to Jayden to finish the fight.
Overview
Lauren can control space at a distance with her long range buttons, and can also put the pressure on her opponent with strong lockdown special moves (especially with teammates). She is the only character with a double jump (j.S). She is one of several characters with a stance.
Unlike the rest of the cast Lauren does not sport a traditional forward dash and instead can run by dashing and holding forward. This is incredibly fast and paired with her running jump which is significantly lower to the ground than her standing/walking jump allows for some incredibly fast overhead attacks and side-switches.
Lauren Shiba is a highly mobile character with huge buttons, a run rather than a dash, and a unique double jump | |

Lauren is a character with a versatile kit. 6S 2H has a high risk, but it also has a high reward because it can kill with an optimal enough combo. 6S 2H can be reflexed be Lauren, Anubis Cruger, and Scorpina. There are a lot of characters who can punish it. 5S-6S is a bit safer since you are not whiffing a button, but rather you are launching projectiles. The butterflies can keep her safe as she runs in. Her rushdown game is pretty good. Her dash jump allows for ambiguous cross ups. Her run is incredible threatening to the opponent. You still have to be careful because they can hit you out of it. Her jump dash(jS) is great for avoiding projectiles and gaining space. If they do manage to hit you, you can still block. 64L is a great stalling tool against projectile spam. It reflects projectile and recovers quickly.
Lauren is a character with a versatile kit but generally wants to stay around the mid-range.
Neutral
Use her gigantic pokes to call out the opponent's movement and whiff punish. Use her forward run in combination with her 64L for a non-linear movement pattern to bait approaches while reflecting enemy projectiles and counterpoking. In most matchups, you can control the ground by placing 6s and punishing any enemy approaches by pushblocking them into the carpet or reflecting projectiles with 64L. However, watch out for the opponent's long pokes such as Gia 4S or Zedd 5H because if Lauren gets hit, the carpet goes away. If the opponent refuses to approach or throw projectiles, then we can start doing 5S~6S to chip and provide cover for our own approach, we can 6S2H6S for a full-screen poke, we can dash 5M or 5H for a hard callout option, or we can approach using dash jump normals.
Offense
Dash jump normals are going to be your safest means of offense, vary her approach with j.S to bait anti-airs and alternate between her different jumping normals to make her trickier to anti-air. If the opponent blocks on the ground, you're at a fairly large advantage, allowing you to either continue your offense or reset back to neutral. However, if the opponent manages to block you in the air, try not to end the air blockstring in j.H as that will leave you at the largest disadvantage.
Team Synergy
On point, she has multiple moves that control a lot of space for a long time, so they provide good opportunities to tag. Her flame carpet (6S) is a great tool to do before a tag out after killing a character. This holds the opponent still allowing for a mix-up. Characters with a standing overhead benefit from this as they can do an unblockable setup if you have all three characters.
Lauren has lost a lot of damage potential in the patch 2.6, so you might need to swap in a character with high post juggle damage to get the kill. Alternatively, you could go for a reset to finish a character off. You can setup unblockables with 46H.
Assist
Her assist can lock down opponents for a long time and OTGs when performed at close range can be good for combos in the corner.
