Although not a ton of exposure, I've had good matchups against chin bc I'm often using chrs like Joe with a ground fb to better control him. I don't have a ton of trouble with other chrs as I've gotten used to his overhead - but again not a ton of exposure.
claw iori? idk, I might use ex cmd throw after blocking his hcf+K, but I think iori's taco is a pretty good move for catching even squat chrs like chin. Just started picking up claw iori and haven't really had that matchup yet.
Perhaps someone better versed in iori could add here.
Or we could always ask our resident chin expert, Kane for his opinion.
@Kane317, what can iori do to....errr...have you had trouble against any ioris of late?
Hell yes Claw gives me a hard time, doesn't he give everyone a hard time? Most of the Claws here in SoCal plays him anchor so you have to be EXTRA careful to not get one-shotted by his HD combos.
Max distance s.Bs dash repeats gives Chin a hard time. I would either have to s.A him back or commit to a qcb B counter but the problem with that is, the counter makes him walk backwards so it's incredibly tricky/risky to time. With Iori's dash speed in mind, he can convert a simple whiff counter for some good damage (don't forget his s.B is SC-only'able and you can even just do for qcf B, hcb P as he has not qcf K move).
His hop speed is also so damn fast it's perfect for baiting out counters but since Chin cannot control much vertical space above him his, crossups are very difficult to deal with. The only thing I've learned recently to do is to do Chin's qcb C move the opposite direction just as Iori jumps over you but you have to be really fast and I've misjudged it before thinking he'd go for the crossup and instead I walk towards them and eat a combo.
Anytime Chin drinks and you're 70% of the screen away let an Ex DM rip and that'll make him think twice about drinking.
You most likely will
not be able to punish his hcf K with Iori's command grab because Chin's hcf K is free cancelable into any special. Safest special for him to cancel into is his counter and of course you can Ex DM him. The other thing he likes to cancel into is his df B (hop thing fake Kyo kick thing) which leaves Chin at -3F so even your Ex hcf P won't get him in time (5F); just use s.C (3F), normal throw him or do an invincible move like Ex DP.
Lastly, personally I tend to eat a lot of dash in d.B, d.A, f.A, HD...combos, especially if they d.B, stagger d.B dash d.B etc....after doing a lot of crossup mix ups.
