Special Attributes & Bugs

During face-down-knockdown, Iori is thinner than other characters. This enables corner crossups against him if he wakes up from a face-down-knockdown in the corner. example video using K'
Iori's 6A cancels into C-Version Supers & LDM, but not into A-Version supers. This is likely a bug due to the presence of 6AA.

Combos

Basic Combos

[2B>2A] or [5D link 2A] or [5B link 5C(c)],214Px3
632146P > 5C(f) > 214Cx3 or 2363214A: The super punishes saving shift attempts. Source: Miekazu.

Misc Combos

j.D from max range, land, 214A: useful combo if you barely reach the opponent with your j.D. The distance is also quite high after the 214A, which means you will probably be safe on block.
Combo in 2363214P, shift on 7th hit: this particular hit of 2363214P has a lot of hit stun and even allows your 2nd character to land before attacking to continue the combo. example combo back to corner 2363214P, QS Kula, land, 5C(2)214B-6B,214D, mini-delay214B, 214B-6B, 623C

Matchups

vs Oswald

Slightly in favor of Iori.

Iori's 2D beats all of Oswald's jump-ins except crossup j.C, which makes approaching for Oswald very difficult.

vs Kula

Use 5E (counter hit) > 214P > 214P link 623C to punish C-Crow Bites (her SRK)

You can use 2A after blocking B-Ray Spin, it will hit her if she tries to jump out

vs Ryo

Poking aggressively with 214A on block (1-3x) can be worth it since Ryo can only punish them with 5B(f).

Long file feat. KKong, probably the best overall Iori, here's a particularly nice match showing rekka pressure: link
