-  Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5
  walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal.  Well
  I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least
  put out there some character walkthroughs as well.  I was planning on doing
  this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured
  what the hell....lets do it now.  So with that being said I'm here to give
  you all this guide on Lau.

-  As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property!  I
  happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if
  you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission
  ok.  I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as
  you ask for my permission first.  Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok,
  lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of
  thinking.  Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised!  My e-mail
  box is always open!

-  A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this
  guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com.  I write for that site and that
  site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are.  Any update
  that I do will hit there.  I don't really plan on keeping up with how many
  other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and
  update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache
  and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok.  I really don't want to deal with a
  million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling
  you now what to do.

-  Backstory  -

-  Lau was unable to win the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but he found a
  worthy successor to his Ko'en-Ken style - Lei-Fei.  Lei-Fei thristed for
  strength, and was obedient to his new master.  As they trained, however, Lei
  Fei suddenly turned on him, and the weakened Lau survived only because of
  Pai's sudden appearance.  Lau realized that the bond between father and
  daughter was there, in spite of everything.  But death was fast approaching,
  there was nothing that he could do for his daughter.  True to the way he had
  lived his life, he disappeared.  One day, an invitation to the fifth
  tournament arrived at what he had thought was a secret hideaway.  He is now
  ready to face the last fight of his life.

-  Personal Opinion -

-  Ok....here's basically my take on Lau Chan:

  Seriously.....if you have never played this game before or any in the series,
  then dammit man, this is the guy that you have to play as!  There's nothing
  that he can't do!  He's a complete beginner's dream and an expert's godsend.
  Lau can destroy you flat out in like 2 well placed combos along with one or
  two big strikes to end a round.  He makes quick work of opponents with
  lightning fast strikes and quick long hitting combos to say the least.  He
  has a real simple and quick learning curve which beginners will love, and
  his advanced tactics are easy and a blessing, turning people into experts in
  no time flat.  His strength is flawlessly big, and his speed just doesn't
  seem natural for a character of stature.  He seems to have an answer for any
  situation no matter what it is.  If you use a big pressure offense game, then
  he can use it with the blistering combos.  If your thing is countering people
  into annoyance, then he has the means of putting up a defense and counter
  striking the hell out of your opponents til they cry about your cheesiness.
  He can be used to turtle fight, he can be used to pressure offense, hell he
  can even be used to just stand there and look friggin cool with!  There isn't
  much that you can say about him that's bad.  If you learn how to use his
  arsenal properly, you can use a deadly mix up game from high to low attacks.
  Choose Lau if this is your first time playing the game so you can get the
  hang of this game in no time flat.  In the hands of an expert, Lau can be
  deadly.  I've seen the computer and even human players chain together attacks
  and combos to the point that they get perfects back to back with little to no
  effort.  This is due to the fact that his speed is quick enough that unless
  you're an expert yourself, then you won't be able to see it coming or know
  how to properly defend yourself against him.  If you don't want to be a Lau
  user, then you'd better learn how to put up some means of a gameplan against
  him by learning him.  He's a nightmare to face.  I don't know if it was
  because he's fighting a disease and he's on the last leg in life, but the
  makers of Virtua just seemed to say that "If this is the last game that Lau
  will appear in, then he's going out with a bang!"  Like I said to begin with,
  there's just nothing that he can't do and when you use him, you'll see
  exactly what I mean!


(User Character Tactics)

  Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I
  finally made it this far.  This part though isn't written entirely by me...
  This part is written by all of you!  That's right....no matter what I say or
  do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs,
  everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each
  character.  In that respect I give to all of you this section.  E-mail in
  your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the
  given character in the given situation you're in.  The only way this
  section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok!  I know
  it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is:

(Credits)

-  First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass
  fighter.  I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all
  that it shows off.  I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now
  turning into a Virtua Fighter fan!  Way to go Sega, by making an addictive
  game like this!

-  Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me
  to come back and make more walkthroughs.  You have no clue how much I missed
  doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to
  retire from walkthrough writing!  Thank you for all the support and e-mails
  that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and
  that you all wanted to see more.  Without the support, I think the drive and
  the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago.

-  If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then
  by all means, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].  I'll take
  your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can.
  You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide.

  Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later!
