== Introduction ==
== Introduction ==
Iori is a versatile character that leans towards rushdown and mixups due to his great access to hard knockdowns. at further ranges he has a fireball and a good poke in st.D as his main tools. When 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 that lets him combo afterwards, 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 super that can low profile and anti air well. Ioris main weakness is that a lot of his buttons aren't that great so his grounded poking game can feel a bit lacking.

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.}}


'''98 to 98UM'''
==Movelist==
[[File:Kof98umfeiorimovelist.png]]


Normals:
* cr.A hurtboxbox became taller
* cr.B hurtbox became taller so some projectiles can no longer be low profiled


Specials:
== Changes from Previous Versions ==
* dp+C now hits consistently even against airborne opponents
* The time that the hurtbox for qcb+P becomes lower is reduced by 3 frames
* hcb,f+P startup 3 frames faster but invincibility frames are reduced


Supers:
'''98 to 98UM'''
* qcf,hcb+P is no longer hard knockdown
* qcb,hcf+P changed, now deals damage at once when it hits but none when the opponent is stunned also reduced stunned time


'''98UM to 98UMFE'''
Normals:


f,f step (Extra mode) - distance moved is longer
* 2A hurtbox is taller
* 2B hurtbox is taller, so some projectiles can no longer be low-profiled


Specials:
Specials:
* hcb,f+P more recovery after the throw so it's harder to connect attacks afterwards


== Normal Moves ==
* 623C now hits consistently, even against airborne opponents
<ul><li>The time that the hurtbox for {{Hover|214P|214P}} becomes lower is reduced by 3 frames</li>
<li>{{Hover|632146P|632146P}} startup is 3 frames faster, but invincibility frames are reduced</li></ul>


'''Close'''
Supers:
*cl. A: mostly just useful as light combo filler. Chainable. Cancelable.
*cl. B: has short activation range. Hits low. Cancelable.
*cl. C: Ioris main heavy combo button. Hits higher up so can catch close range jumpouts. Cancelable.
*cl. D: Hits high up so can catch jumpouts but it is not cancelable so it's not as good as cl.C.


'''Stand'''
<ul><li>{{Hover|2363214P|2363214P}} is no longer a hard knockdown</li>
*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.
<li>{{Hover|2141236P|2141236P}} changed: now deals damage at once when it hits, but none when the opponent is stunned; also reduced stunned time</li></ul>
*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 contact or whiff. Has nice priority.
*st. D: good longer range poke. His best normal for stopping hops.


'''Crouch'''
'''98UM to 98UMFE'''
*cr. A: Good for combos or blockstrings. Chainable. Cancelable.
*cr. B: standard low move for low combos or blockstrings. Chainable.
*cr. C: not great at anti airing. Has some forwards priority so could be a decent closer range poke. Cancelable on contact or whiff.
*cr. D: Has long range but terrible recovery.


'''Jump'''
* Extra mode step dash distance moved is longer
*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: jumpin button that can cross up but landing it is hard. Has quite a lot of startup so needs to be done early or it will whiff. Due to this it can be used as a good jumpin fake by doing it late.
*j. D: Good air to air that can also hit grounded opponents.


'''Blowback'''
Specials:
*st. CD: Has good priority and fairly fast startup speed for a st.CD so it makes for a decent poke. Cancelable on contact or whiff.
*j. CD: Has good priority forwards so can be a good air to air.
 
== Throws ==
 
'''Reverse Skinner:''' (close) b/f + C
* regular throw, techable. Iori claws at the opponent sending them flying almost full screen forwards with a soft knockdown.
'''Double-reverse Skinner:''' (close) b/f + D
* regular throw, techable. Iori sneaks behind the opponent and then claws at them sending them flying almost full screen to the other side with a soft knockdown.
== Command Moves ==
 
'''Dream Blast:''' f + A, A
* Iori does a strike forwards.
 
* can combo from lights and heavies.
 
* the second hit will whiff there was too much pushback before the first hit, it will for example whiff after a cl.C f+A or cr.B cr.A f+A.
 
* Therefore it's best to just use the first hit and skip the second one.
 
* Cancelable on both hits raw and when cancelled into.
 
* this move is key for Ioris combos.
 
'''Thunder Axe Shadow Reaper:''' f + B
 
* A slow overhead that can be canceled from if canceled into.
 
'''Lily Breaker:''' (in the air) back + B
 
* A very good crossup kick that can be comboed into.
 
* Will whiff on short crouchers.
 
== Special Moves ==
 
'''Fireball:''' qcf + A/C
 
* A ground travelling projectile.
 
* A version travels slow, while C version travels much faster
 
* combos from lights and heavies.
 
* can be hopped over.
 
* good for the projectile war or to use as a longer ranged poke.
 
* Can be made unblockable with his command grab thanks to the unblockable projectile bug.
 
'''Deadly Flower:''' qcb + A/C (can be entered 3 times in a row)
 
* Iori does a series of strikes that carries him forwards.
 
* He can input this special up to 3 times in a row and each hit will be a bit different. The first two hits are mids and the third one hits overhead.
 
* Ioris main combo special. The light version combos from lights and the heavy one from heavies.


* Causes hard knockdown and gives Iori plenty of time to set up whatever offense he wants afterwards.
<ul><li>{{Hover|632146P|632146P}} has more recovery after the throw, so it's harder to connect attacks afterwards</li></ul>


* All the 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 good long range move to punish.

OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplaysMatchups


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:

  • 2363214P 2363214P is no longer a hard knockdown
  • 2141236P 2141236P changed: now deals damage at once when it hits, but none when the opponent is stunned; also reduced stunned time

98UM to 98UMFE

  • Extra mode step dash distance moved is longer

Specials:

  • 632146P 632146P has more recovery after the throw, so it's harder to connect attacks afterwards

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Has longer startup than most command grabs while also not being fully invincible, but despite this it's still good.

  • 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.
