Gameplay Overview

Iori is one of the most versatile characters in KOF, with a wide array of normals and specials for both offense and defense. He uses his high mobility and his dominant normals to flit in and out of ranges as he needs for zoning or pressure. When Iori is in your face, he can pour on the pressure with hop pressure, ground overheads, strong lows, a command throw that starts a combo, and one of the nastiest crossups in the game. At range, he has a Shoryuken-style move to anti-air and wake up with, some great counterpokes, anti-air and air-to-air normals, as well as a decent projectile to fight fireball wars with. He has some of the deadliest MAX mode conversions in the game and a phenomenal Climax Art. His versatility and superb use of meter makes him a great fit for any team, in any order. His execution requirements range from low to medium-high depending on what you want to do with him, making him usable by both beginners and veterans.
