Starters
Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

General Notes
Iori can add 63214BD after his 214A rekka chain to OTG the opponent for a damage increase if you have at least 0.5 bars.
You can add both parts of Iori's 6A after crouching lows at point blank range.
Using two EX moves in a combo will result in more damage than a super for the same cost. Comboing into super is more worth it if you plan on cancelling into another super afterwards for more damage.
If you are spending more than 1 meter, use 632146AC as it has less damage scaling and will result in more damage than using the regular command grab and adding another EX move.

Does more damage than ex rekka combo, but has potential to be pushed out a bit too far for 236AC to connect. Less corner carry but still gives a safe jump with microdash hop.

Notable as EX command grab has less scaling and leads to better damage than normal command grab with 3 EX moves in the following combo.
Most of Iori's 1-bar combos are combinations of his 0.5 bar combos. Usually they'll follow the formula of EX Rekkas > A Rekkas > EX OTG or Shatter Strike > EX.
Anchor Iori Quickmax conversion. Allows Iori to squeak in an extra EX. You can input qcf+AC as qcf,uf+AC to avoid getting dp+AC after f+A. Delay the dp+A a little bit so it hits low enough for the super cancel to connect.
