I think it's worth noting that while in V trigger 2, you can do something like st LK, EX fireball, or stand MP and if the opponent V reversals, you can actually react with the dodge and then use the grab to get a complete punish. Obviously character specific though, wouldn't help against v reversals like vega or Fang but will work against Ryu/necalli and similar reversals.
I've only had success with it on fireball heavy character matchups (ie Guile) as a means to pressure in the corner. Otherwise VT1 seems better overall.
If someone whiffs it in front of your face whats the most opitmal punish? is it to grab her before she gets a follow up either vskill or grab? or is it to wait and CC?... or it depends.
Throwing is the most reliable punish. If you throw you punish all followups. If you hit a button early you beat grab or dash, but if she doesn't do either, you whiff through her. If you wait for her to dash or become punishable she could throw you. So if you're close, always throw, and if you're outside grab range, try to react to the dodge and then either counterhit the dash or CC the no-dash.
Imo this VT2 was just trash till now . BUT in Season 5 I am pretty sure it will be a good VT because of V-Shift will nerf Laura VT1. So Capcom must buff VT2 accordingly.
It's pretty clearly Blue Mary, who literally has an invincible to everything but throw dodge into command grab special. In fact there are quite a few things about new characters that feel very KoF in SFV.

Volume is really low.

Spotdodging? Grab pummels? This makes Laura play a lot like a Smash character
Carlos Andrés Solís guilty gear came up with it first though.

I almost wish it wasn't a CC punish so she would be more like Smash Bros.
Wrong. This works exactly like a kof classic dodge.
