== Introduction ==


Iori is a highly versatile character that can do just about anything, but leans towards rushdown and mixups due to his great access to hard knockdowns. At further ranges, he has a fireball and a good poke as his main tools, but Iori really starts to shine when he lands a hit into his hard knockdown rekka. He has plenty of mixup options, like a good crossup, a command grab he can combo out of, good low confirms, and an overhead. Most of these options will allow him to combo into rekka again and repeat the situation. On defense, he has access to a great DP for reversals and anti-airs, and a good DM that can low-profile and anti-air well. Iori's main weakness is that a lot of his buttons aren't that great, so his grounded poking game can feel a bit lacking.

Iori's main weakness is that he lacks certain kinds of ground moves, so his grounded poking game can feel a bit lacking. Notably, his sweep, while a great whiff punisher, is unsafe on block, and his standing B isn't the long and fast mid poke that some other characters have.}}

== Normal Moves ==
 
'''Close'''
 
* cl.A: Mostly just useful as light combo filler. Chainable and cancelable.
 
* cl.B: Has short activation range. Standing low. Cancelable.
 
* cl.C: Iori's main heavy combo button. Hits higher up, so it can catch close-range jump-outs. Cancelable.
 
* cl.D: Hits high up so can catch jumpouts, but it is not cancelable so it's not as good as cl.C.
 
'''Standing'''
 
* st.A: Hits too low to stop hops well. Great short-ranged button, as it gives Iori a bit of frame advantage and has a nice hitbox. Chainable, not cancelable.
 
* st.B: Short- to mid-range poke with some decent priority. Has longer range than st.A.
 
* st.C: Nice longer-range poke, since it's cancelable on hit, block, and whiff. Has nice priority.
 
* st.D: Good longer-range poke. His best normal for stopping hops.
 
'''Crouching'''
 
* cr.A: Good for combos or blockstrings. Chainable and cancelable.
 
* cr.B: Standard low move for low combos or blockstrings. Has limited low-profile properties. Chainable, not cancelable.
 
* cr.C: Not great at anti-airing. Has some forwards priority, so it could be a decent closer-range poke. Cancelable on hit, block, and whiff.
 
* cr.D: Has long range but terrible recovery.
 
'''Jumping'''
 
* j.A: Has a lot of active frames. Can be used as an air-to-air or jump-in.
 
* j.B: Fast air-to-air with good range.
 
* j.C: Jump-in button that can crossup, but landing it is hard. Has quite a lot of startup, so it needs to be done early or it will whiff. Due to this, it can be used as a good jump-in fake by doing it late.
 
* j.D: Good air-to-air that can also hit grounded opponents.
 
'''CD Normals'''
 
* st.CD: Has good priority and fairly fast startup speed for a st.CD, so it makes for a decent poke. Cancelable on hit, block, and whiff.
 
* j.CD: Has good priority forwards, so can be a good air-to-air.

The King of Fighters '98 UMFE

Overview • Strategy • Data • Combos • Replays • Matchups


Introduction

Iori is a highly versatile character that can do just about anything, but leans towards rushdown and mixups due to his great access to hard knockdowns. At further ranges, he has a fireball and a good poke as his main tools, but Iori really starts to shine when he lands a hit into his hard knockdown rekka. He has plenty of mixup options, like a good crossup, a command grab he can combo out of, good low confirms, and an overhead. Most of these options will allow him to combo into rekka again and repeat the situation. On defense, he has access to a great DP for reversals and anti-airs, and a good DM that can low-profile and anti-air well. Iori's main weakness is that he lacks certain kinds of ground moves, so his grounded poking game can feel a bit lacking. Notably, his sweep, while a great whiff punisher, is unsafe on block, and his standing B isn't the long and fast mid poke that some other characters have.

Movelist


Changes from Previous Versions

98 to 98UM

Normals:

  • 2A hurtbox is taller
  • 2B hurtbox is taller, so some projectiles can no longer be low-profiled

Specials:

  • 623C now hits consistently, even against airborne opponents
  • The time that the hurtbox for 214P 214P becomes lower is reduced by 3 frames
  • 632146P 632146P startup is 3 frames faster, but invincibility frames are reduced

Supers:

  • The first two hits are mids, and the third one hits overhead.
  • Iori's main combo special. The light version combos from lights and the heavy version from heavies.
  • Causes hard knockdown and gives Iori plenty of time to set up whatever offense he wants afterwards.
  • All 3 hits of both the A and C Rekka are Negative and unsafe on block point-blank. At further ranges, they are still unsafe, but the opponent will need a fairly fast long-range move to punish.
  • The A Rekkas knock the enemy back a bit on hit.
  • The full C rekkas make them land right next to Iori with a hard knockdown, setting up a few wakeup options.

  • B version can be cancelled into his qcb+P on contact whereas D version is cancellable into any special move.
  • Unsafe on block, and since his qcb+P is also not safe on block there's no real way to reduce risk. However dp+D, qcf+A 623D, 236A is a fairly safe option.
  • Can go over some lows.
  • Has a little bit of startup invincibility.
  • Main use is for baiting guard cancel CD. Just cancel your normal into dp+D and go into qcf+A 623D and go into 236A if there is no Guard Cancel. If there is a Guard Cancel you can react and either cancel into Maiden Masher or Rekkas.

  • A command grab that lets Iori follow up with a combo afterwards.

  • Good for mixups, as it lets him do a full combo afterwards that leads to another mixup.
  • Has longer startup than most command grabs while also not being fully invincible, but despite this it's still good.

  • Iori sends out a big blast of flames.
  • The A version only reaches a bit in front of Iori, while the C version travels a bit more than halfscreen.
  • On hit, the opponent gets frozen in place and Iori gets a followup combo.
  • This move hitting is one of the few ways you can actually combo into qcf,hcb+AC.
  • The projectile's size is only as big as his qcf+P 236P, so it can be jumped over and even hopped over with good timing.
