When Lau is in trouble..

What do you do?

I <3 lau...When I am attacking with lau I can beat alot of good players...for one round. The problem is as soon as I get stunned or knocked down all hell breaks loose and I can't seem to get going again. I am not sure if this is really a Lau question or a VF5 in general question.

Any ideas for ways to turn the match back into Lau's favor when they start goin wrong?

This is kind of universal situation, but you have to focus on defense until things settle or you spot an oppening. Constantly doing getup attacks or attacking will only result in you being punished or counterhit. If your back isn't to the edge of the ring or wall, some quick backdashes can hinder an opponents momentum if they don't quickly follow. Well placed defensive moves, or sidesteps can be the saving grace as well.

Once you've gained some space, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif can work well, as it has a huge range and on hit or counter hit it will create a knockdown, giving you the momentum shift. Just be careful that it isn't sidestepped. If you notice they follow and sidestep, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif is great to stop them, and also creates a knockdown and does massive damage for a single hit. However, it is risky to throw out. Once you've stopped their momentum or make them hessitant to approach, you can focus back on your offense.
