;hcf + ;a /;c close = Tsuchitsubaki *
A command grab to slam, when the opponents hits the ground they bounce into the air (switching sides) for a possible combo follow-up
- EX launches the opponent very high into the air, long enough to combo afterward
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 50

- Max Cancellable
- Hit Detection: High

Neomax

;qcf x 2+ ;b + ;d = Yatagarasu
Iori drags his hand on the ground then proceeds to do a very large claw slash to his opponent with a bloody, shadowy background, if it doesn't connect the range is still very horizontal and vertical but it does less damage depending on the distance between him and the opponent
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 80+80x5


Iori's Wiki entry.

Console changes:
* Geshiki Kui (df + C) has a larger hitbox than before. Easier to attack opponent from his command throw.
* Fierce Shogetsu (qcb+P) moves more forward. It combos in most situations after close C> Yumebiki(forward + A A).
* Yaotome (including EX) can’t be saferolled after it hits.
* EX Shogetsu’s invinciblity has been taken out. However, he’s still invincible on his legs.
- Fierce Akegarasu (qcb+K) has shorter recovery when blocked. Can’t be punished with normal moves.

Producer Yamamoto says:
With Fierce Shogetsu’s longer reach and Fierce Akegarasu’s shorter recovery, it’s easier to do strings and combos. His Yaotome can’t be saferolled so attacking on wakeups may become important. With his EX Akegarasu’s projectile invincibility and EX Yaotome’s long invincibility, we’ve designed him to be playable in a different style from Flame Iori. Enjoy this Claw Iori that’s a bit different from the arcade version.

Here's a great combo that I'll start uses as BnB, although it costs 1 power gauge, the whole combo charges up 1 power gauge thereby only costing 1 drive bar and best of all 50% damage!

1 power gauge - 50% drive gauge - damage 50%~
(corner) j.C -> s.C -> df+C -> qcb+AC -> qcb+A -> (slight delay) dp+A -> DC qcb+B -> qcb+A -> dp+A

Hey, remember that discussion we had about Shen vs Iori?  Well Shen can't do that lol =)  Another reason why the Japanese ranks him so high up, didn't think that would do 50%.  You could probably replace the last dp+A with a s.A for a nice reset mixup like XII...why am I giving you ideas ugh.

EDIT OT: Nevermind Shen can, but I doubt it builds a full meter.

Yeah he can fist you in the air repeatedly hahah, for Shen it might build a meter? Can't you do something like j.D -> s.C -> f+B -> qcf+BD -> qcf+D -> qcf+D -> qcf+A -> DC qcf+D -> qcf+D -> s.A or something? If that's doesn't build a meter, it'd be damn close

Urm, public forum.  You're on a time out, goto the corner and face the wall hehe.

for Shen it might build a meter? Can't you do something like j.D -> s.C -> f+B -> qcf+BD -> qcf+D -> qcf+D -> qcf+A -> DC qcf+D -> qcf+D -> s.A or something? If that's doesn't build a meter, it'd be damn close

^ Can't do the qcf+A in time.  He does have: (non-corner) j.D, s.C, f.B, qcf+BD, qcf D,  qcb A.qcf A, [DC] qcf C, qcf A, d.C.  I'll check how much meter it builds later today.

I really stress that these two combos be used as his BnB. besides the beginning of the first round at most times you should have at least either 1 power gauge and 50% drive gauge. These combos generate around 1 power stock itself, so if you start with 1, you'll end up with around 1 and some drive gauge built back. Also on average they do around 40-68% damage depending on which combo and if you end with super or EX super.

(corner)
j.C, s.C, df+C -> qcb+AC, qcb+A, dp+A -> (DC) qcb+K, qcb+A, dp+A or super

(Iori in corner)
j.C, s.C, df+C -> qcb+B -> (DC) hcf+AC, dp+C, qcb+B, qcb+A, dp+A or super
hcf+AC, dp+C, qcb+B, qcb+A, dp+A -> (DC) qcb+K, qcb+A, dp+A or super

Note that the last combo starts with the command throw with Iori in the corner. The reason for it being written that way is that you can punish some moves (i.e. Kula between her qcb+K and followup) or do hcf+AC or do it on wakeup.

Some times I use it when someone does a slightly early jump attack, and there's a gap between that and their ground attack.

Duc showed me why the Japanese rank Iori so high in the tier list.  The Shen vs Iori debate comes to an end since Iori has a better command grab (range, especially the Ex one which is much farther than Shen's one) and Iori has better combos that can be started off by several of moves -- as long as he has drive he can do some crazy juggles (Shen needs stocks).  It is Iori we're talking about, so didn't expect anything less from SNK though.

If it's normal command throw it's just dp+C or qcb+B, both can be follow-upped by a super.

If it's EX command throw it's dp+C, qcb B or dash qcb+C, dp+A. The second part can be replaced by super.

You can also do a mix up from either one by just doing hyper hop j.C and when you land start a hcf+P again, it will grab as soon as they land unless punished/jumped. Usually the normal hcf+P has some start up, but in this way, part of the startup is done as the opponent is about to land.

is his non ex command throw easy to hit in combos, like from lights, from hard attack and from command normals? im guerssing jump in, light attack, command throw should easily be possible.
