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).
