Iori, the perennial poster child of KOF after his rival Kyo, enters into KOFXV as a all-rounder with rushdown flair. Iori's deal is speed. He loves to get into his opponents face with his fast running speed, wide-reaching normals, and fast special moves. Once he's in, Iori can confirm into his rekka series and get a hard knockdown where it really begins. He can run high/low, left/right crossup and even command grab pressure to open his opponents up. Then, he can either spend meter to cancel into big damage or stock his resources and force hard knockdown again. Overall, Iori is a mainstay in the KOF series for a reason, and beginners and veterans alike flock to him for all he offers.
The original KoF rival and perennial poster child of the series (besides Kyo) as well as one of the most beloved fighting game characters of all time, Iori is an incredibly well-rounded rushdown character with a huge emphasis on being aggressive—he can easily play neutral, but he really wants to get in your face and blow you up.
As something of an all-rounder, Iori has a little bit of everything. He has great space control pokes in his 5B and 5D, decent zoning in Yamibarai (236P[P]), a ground-crawling projectile, and defense with Oniyaki (623P[P]), cl.C, cl.D, and 2C. However, a closer glance at his toolkit reveals just how much Iori wants to rush you down. Iori has a plethora of infamous options for opening up opponents, such as his "Taco Kick" in j.4B, a dedicated crossup, and Scum Gale (6246P[P]), a side-switching command grab that Iori can combo normals off of. Lastly, his Yashiori super (2141236P[P]) juggles the opponent and can be followed up afterwards with great efficiency, allowing Iori to easily shred opponents to bits. Because Iori has above-average mobility, he can easily approach the opponent and run his game and is generally very hard to keep out. Iori does have some minor weaknesses, such as in his zoning, but overall Iori's strengths greatly outweigh his disadvantages. Veterans and beginners alike flock to Iori for a reason, and if you want to get in fast and make quick work of the opponent with mixups and damage, Iori is your character.

If your opponent is conditioned to sit still on a jumpin, Close B can be a great way to empty low them. It instantly goes into 6A which then combos into whatever you want.
While cl.B is not Iori's fastest low, it is definitely his best thanks to its ability to link into cl.C for great reward.

* Iori's "Taco" Kick. Originating from the Spanish word "Tacón", referring to the heel of a shoe.
* Iori's "taco" crossup kick. Originating from the Spanish word "tacón", referring to the heel of a shoe.
* Crossup tool. Neither ambiguous nor an overhead, but still a staple of his pressure/mixup game. Often used with hyper hops on opponent's wakeup.
* Can be performed during backdashes.
* While somewhat predictable, the threat of Iori's command grab and the sheer speed of his movement can open people up with this if you run enough pressure.
* Can be input at j.6B depending on position from opponent.
* Can be used during backdashes to "taco backdash", slightly increasing the dash's distance and making you hit the ground significantly faster.
* Allows for combos the deeper it hits.
One of Iori's most defining moves, a backwards kick with no forward hitbox. This move exists solely for two purposes: crossups and mobility. This move's hitbox is large, and though the ease of conversions and followup pressure have been nerfed from other games, it is still a very powerful tool and the final nail in the coffin that lets Iori open people up. In terms of mobility, this move slightly increases the range of Iori's backdash as well as reducing its recovery by a significant amount (around 10 frames at the most) - giving him low recovery backward mobility that isn't even tied to a special. Note that the amount of effective recovery and distance of your backdash changes with the timing of the j4B.
The Yagami clan is one of three ancient clans entrusted with a Sacred Treasure. As a descendent of this clan, Iori has access to abilities that allow him to tear apart his foes, and powerful amethyst flames granted by his knowledge of the Yagami Style of Ancient Martial Arts. His ancestors signed a blood-pact with Orochi 660 years ago, sparking a feud with the Kusanagi clan. Despite this, he decides to up-hold his duties as a member of the original sacred clans and joins KOF.

Iori Yagami is an all-rounder with a heavy emphasis on utilizing mobility and mixups to break apart opponents.
Pros
Cons
Strong Rushdown: Iori can be rather frightening once he's allowed to get in. His suite of good standing normals, great jumping buttons, far-reaching specials and a great DP let him push through the opponents offense. His ground-travelling fireball is also incredibly fast, letting him put on pressure with it from afar. With his wide toolset, Iori has the ability to fight at all ranges while aggressively approaching.
Great Conversions: Easy to combo into his Rekka series for consistent damage at all ranges. The EX version launches, letting Iori continue the combo further. Iori is also constantly threatening hard knockdown thanks to his Rekka ender, which leads right into his close-range mixup game.
Hard Knockdowns Galore: Iori gets hard knockdown off of tons of stuff, like his rekka ender, his running command grab, and his Yaotome super. From here, Iori can get some great mixup potential and force it all over again, or back off and space out his opponent.
Solid Mix: Iori has great mixup off of a hard knockdown. He has great buttons for the usual KOF jumpin high/low, but he can also cross up with j.4B, otherwise known as the infamous "taco kick". He also has a fast command grab to open up blockers, and though it doesn't deal damage, he can link it into f.C for a full combo or CD for full screen corner carry and hard knockdown.
Meter Dump: All of Iori's EX moves and supers are fantastic meter dump opportunities. He can use them to help him combo, tack on extra damage after a hard knockdown, or punish approaches from fullscreen. His two-bar Quick Max meter dump also does great damage for the cost, making him a serious threat when he has access to Max Mode. His 0.5/1 bar combos are also highly damaging, with midscreen combos dealing close to 450 damage and corner combos dealing 500.
Mobility: Iori's run speed is among the fastest in the game, but where he truly distinguishes himself is with "taco backdashes". These two factors give him both incredible forward mobility and nigh unmatched backward mobility respectively, making Iori not only difficult to catch, but also difficult to outspace.
Poor Kick Normals: His big kick normals have all been neutered from previous entries, being slower and easier to punish. Since Iori usually relies on his kick normals to contest space in the midrange, this has noticeably weakened his overall gameplan.
Systemic Weakness: KOFXV has made serious changes to wakeup throw that overall hamper his mix and pressure. Iori must now space himself out much more than usual or risk going for a mixup to open his opponents up.
Fireball War Loser: Iori's fireballs are only ok, with longer than average recovery. This makes him really vulnerable to fireball wars, although he has some other moves to alleviate keepaway.

Long and fast mid poke.
Excellent for frametraps at the end of light strings.
Since Far D got neutered, this is probably the best possible normal to throw out at semi-close range. Since it is not special cancellable, you won't get much on hit. Still good for contesting space.

Iori's biggest poke.
Not as fast as it used to be, but still pretty long.
One of Iori's best tools historically, Far D has seen a notable hit in its startup. That being said, this move is still incredibly useful if you have Max Mode stocked, since you can easily cancel it into Quick Max > cl.C > 6B > 236C > Yaotome > Saika for big damage. Its massive range makes it a threat at a distance while being only mildly unsafe, but be wary of getting stuffed out.

Iori's "taco" crossup kick. Originating from the Spanish word "tacón", referring to the heel of a shoe.
Can be performed during backdashes.
Can be input at j.6B depending on position from opponent.
One of Iori's most defining moves, a backwards kick with no forward hitbox. This move exists solely for two purposes: crossups and mobility. This move's hitbox is large, and though the ease of conversions and followup pressure have been nerfed from other games, it is still a very powerful tool and the final nail in the coffin that lets Iori open people up. In terms of mobility, this move slightly increases the range of Iori's backdash as well as reducing its recovery by a significant amount (around 10 frames at the most) - giving him low recovery backward mobility that isn't even tied to a special. Note that the amount of effective recovery and distance of your backdash changes with the timing of the j4B.

Punishable if used up close (even on hit).
EX version is short but puts the opponent in a crumple state. Great for converting jab strings into higher damage.
Connects as an OTG (w/ more damage than OTG 63214BD) after common combo enders such as 214C rekkas, 214A rekkas from 2A, or any rekkas in the corner.
Sets up an easy safe jump after hitting OTG - simply hold u/f (normal jump) or super jump forward immediately after.
Does not connect OTG from 214AC rekkas > 214A rekkas midscreen or 2363214P super.

Iori's rekka string done by repeating the input 3 times.
He ducks down before delivering a high poke, with the whole string comboing even on anti-air.
Each hit gets more and more punishable, so if the first hit is blocked you have to mindgame around delaying hits or stopping the string.
C and EX versions' main hurtbox becomes the same size as average crounching boxes which allows Iori to duck under attacks that hit at a higher height.

B version is a command run with no hitbox. Can be used to reset pressure or create mix-ups from an air reset.
D version runs up and strikes the opponent, pulling them to the ground.

Iori grabs the opponent and swings them behind him.
6246P applies 30% damage scaling to the next hit. 6246PP applies 20% damage scaling to the next hit.
2C > (whiff) 6A ~ 6A is sure to connect after, leading to good damage.
CD also connects, allowing for a near full-screen corner carry depending on the follow up.
Input as 6249A/C/AC to avoid getting 623P when input quickly. While this will avoid getting a DP, 6246 does have priority over 623 motions in this game. If you are getting DP you are missing either the 2 or 4 directions, and inputting as 6249 will likely just give you a jab instead of the command grab you want if you are missing one. You can try inputting it as a 360 motion instead in order to ensure you get both of those directions.
Kuzukaze, aka Scum Gale, is one of Iori's strongest options, and part of what makes him so effective as a rushdown character. While it's quite slow at 13 frames of startup, it's surprisingly easy to land if you've conditioned your opponent into blocking instead of trying to fight back.

B version is like the neglected and underperforming sibling of the D version. Too slow to combo off heavies, prematurely ends crumple combos with a hard knockdown, doesn't low crush, no projectile invincibility, unsafe on block (and even hit), only cancellable into regular rekkas which still makes it unsafe on block. Every thing it tries to do, the D version does it better.
D version has some projectile immunity. Safe on block and cancels into any special.
Extremely useful as a pickup from 236AC, as you can cancel it into C Rekkas to do good damage and corner carry.
Cancelling into the 2nd A Rekka in or near the corner allows for juggles into DP for optimal damage and super cancel followups.
If performed as a kara from CD will travel almost the entire screen.
EX version is a launcher with complete projectile immunity. Plus on block.

Combo super, with no invul.
Goes nearly full screen.
Has a unique follow-up super that can be performed after A or C version.
A.k.a. the "Maiden Masher".
Main hurtbox becomes the same size as average crouching boxes which allows Iori to duck under attacks that hit at a higher height.
Ol' reliable. Maiden Masher aka Shiki Yaotome is Iori's go-to ender with meter. Decent damage for the cost, but the real prize is forcing Oki or being able to cancel into Saika (see below) for an immediate kill confirm. With this, Iori can confidently meter dump and still retain a safejump opportunity anywhere on the screen, making this a great tool. Plus, the quick animation means there's lots of places to combo into this super in Iori's combo structure- 623A and 236C being good examples.

A follow-up to Yaotome that costs 1 bar (none in Max Mode).
Inputting this after Yaotome will allow Iori to squeeze out a bit more damage. Very useful as a kill confirm or just getting out as much damage as possible, since it still gives hard knockdown and better Oki the closer to the corner you are.
Functionally, there's no difference between inputting this versus the MAX version of Yaotome- both do about the same amount of damage. That being said, the lower number of hits in this move with an odd number damage causes it to scale better in longer combos, meaning it can be useful to perform in Iori's longer corner combos.

*Values in [] indicate when the move is held.
A big projectile cloud that lingers for quite a while.
Regular version does 4 hits while MAX version does 8.
All versions reliably combo from a grounded 624D super cancel.
MAX version allows Iori to link a close or 2C while the opponent is in a ground hitstun before cancelling into 623D.
Iori's go-to move for damage as long as he has at least 1 bar to spend and will in fact do more damage than a 2 EX combo with 236AC into 214AC. This allows for very cost-effective combos, especially when combined with the fact that Iori often builds more than half a bar doing follow up moves to this super.
The MAX version may also be used as an extra damage tool tacked on at the end of Saika in the corner, which can really lay on the hurt. If you cancel into it after Saika and then immediately let go and slightly delay a 214A, you can relaunch them into it and retain hard knockdown. The resulting combo can easily deal close to 800 damage.
