iori needs to be made way more awesome than he is right now. only thing im feeling about him right now is his neomax. his normal moves should have shashes that big and far reaching, that way it would actually look a little cooler and more yagami, i mean brutal. that neomax should have been his normal dp for all i care. he is WAY too tame and a little boring imo. he just isnt the dangerous yagami i used to know anymore. losing fire isnt equall to losing your badassness. and thats exactly just what has happened to the yagami i once mained...
I must say that I love the new Iori, his moves and his style make him more badass. What I only think he is missing is that his normals should have that slash effect, but smaller and only on hit. Kinda like how Elizabeth light only happens when she hits an opponent. Just to make him more awesome of what he is IMO.
Anyways, this Iori is a love or hate Iori, but is funny that you think his slashes make him look more tame, but I find that it does the contrary effect. lol
But each to their own, I respect your opinion, just brought mine and pointed out what I find cool about him. Still we might get both Iori's, the new and the old one, both are awesome.
you didnt get my point actually, i do like the slashing iori, more than fire iori, not as much as fire and slash iori but whatever.
my main gripe with this iori isnt that he uses slashes, but the way he uses slashes. the way he uses it in his NM looks great and the scream and slashing sound make him look and feel totally bad ass. those tame bitchass looking scratches he uses on his normal moves look like ass and are way too small imo. from the way he moves to the way the slashes look, he looks really gay. the slash auro or whatever is just over his hand, on his neomax the slash is like a meter away from him and way bigger. something i wouldnt have mind seeing in his specials. his special moves for the most part look stupid imo, his dm and especially his NM look brutal and befitting of yamagi. his specials look more tame than some of his normals, i just dont like them too much.
also i agree with you that his normals should have slashes on them. the effect should be the ones rhey used for his specials, his specials need to be WAY BIGGER.
this is all from a design perspective btw, not how iori plays. you could feel the craziness from iori when you used some of his older moves in kof like smashing your opponents head to the ground and exploding it, or his old maiden masher. in 13 i only get this feeling with his neomax. even though his dm looks good, it also lacks that feeling. dude brutally slashed you, afterwards held your face in his hands, then blew your face up. such rawness, his new dm is somewhat reminescent of that, and his N< fits him perfectly. its just the rest of his specials, dp is meh (nm should have been his dp imo),
punch looks totally retarded,
kick is also uninspiring for such an awesome character.
the one special they did get right was his command throw, too bad its crap in the game. now i know what you guys were telling me with how bad this move is, the EX version of this should have been his normal one imo. his EX one should have had huge range on it and slammed them higher like it already does.
also no need to be so formel, what you think is all up to you.
edit: i seriously have too many posts.
