== Introduction ==
= Introduction =
Iori is a very versatile character whose moveset lends him to a rush-down/mixup style with damage mainly coming from his Rekka combos. Coupled with that, he has very serviceable pokes, good anti air, and a good reversal DP for use in defense and neutral situations.  He also has one of the best poke RCs in the game with his Rekka, is the shortest character in the game, and has the best roll in the game.


His drawbacks are getting in against dominant "big button" characters (Sagat, Blanka, Cammy, etc), a relatively low ceiling of one shot burst damage (his supers aren't very strong), and characters who duck and outpoke his Stand Roundhouse.

In CvS2, he is often considered a "high" tier character, just below the established top tiers. He is a staple on N groove teams, as well as one of the Best SNK characters in the game. Conventional wisdom is that he is one of the easiest characters to use, and recent Japanese tourney play features him on two of the best players' teams. In C and A grooves, even.

*This move has the special property of being able to chain into Iori's f+strong. There's only one instance in which I use this move, and that's to combo after a connected Scum Gale. Even though it's a far reaching bufferable move, buffering into fireballs is not safe, and the move itself leaves much to be desired in terms of priority and speed. It reaches farther than the f+strong, but at that distance a fierce rekka ken will completely miss. Needless to say, a whiffed rekka ken will lead to a lot of hurt.

This move doesn't really have much tactical use since the distance to get the bufferable version of the fierce is really specific. However, the bufferable version happens to be Iori's most damaging bufferable move, and there's ONE useful set up to get it shown below (see Running Grab).

* I probably don't use this move as much as I should. It's quick, has surprising range, and even more surprising priority. I'd use it against characters that can crouch the standing roundhouse if you can get into the range to use it.


*Run Speed= 7.4 (Average)
6/13/03 - Some Japanese players like to punish whiffs with s.forward into super, but I find that whenever I bait a whiff I'm too far away to hit with a s.forward. I just do a low/standing roundhouse instead. I also noticed that Japanese players have set-ups for COUNTER HIT s.forward and buffer the super on reaction, but to me that's in-humanly difficult (the window to buffer is 3 frames long, 1/20th of a second). That super isn't one that you want to have blocked.  }}

* Iori's best poke by far, despite having the distinction of being one of Iori's two crouchable moves. Any character bigger than a shoto is fair game, however. You can use it fairly liberally against the characters that cannot crouch it to slowly drain their guard meter and entice them into making a mistake that will get you the all-important knockdown Iori needs to get in. Be aware, though, that the move is not safe against a fast roll and that Sagat can punish you hard with a standing fierce into super if you whiff it.
* Crouchable by half the cast (every female character, Ryo, shotos, Rolento, Haohmaru, Vega, Yun, Kim, Rock, Iori)
*  Treat this move like a budget Sakura or Yamazaki stand RH (yama speed/damage, but -2 instead of +2 on block)

Iori's close jab is very useful for many reasons:
#) Comes out in 2 frames, making it Iori's fastest move. 2 frames are as fast as moves get in CvS2 with the exception of Zangief's SPD, which is the only 1 frame move in the game. So what does this mean? Whenever you're in a situation where you have to mash a move, such as trying to avoid a throw, this is the move to mash.
#) +7 advantage, also the most out of any of Iori's moves. 7 frames is a fairly huge advantage as far as CvS2 goes, meaning most links afterwards are brain-dead easy if the jab hits, and if blocked you have ample time to set up stuff safely like walk up to your opponent again and get another close jab. A perfectly timed close jab tick into Scum Gale (8 frames) is very difficult to reverse by jabs or throws. All tick throws can be escaped by jumps, however.
#) At 400 damage, it's the most damaging out of all of Iori's weak attacks that can be chained together.


=== Preferred Grooves ===
}}
Roll Canceling Iori's rekka is critical to effective play, and Iori's run sets up post Rekka mixups well, so Iori's best groove is N. However, he is also extremely threatening in A and C grooves. Iori is also a strong P Groove candidate.

Outside of combos, the main use for this move is for anti-cross ups. Close roundhouse is your main anti-cross up, but you'll want to use close fierce against characters with bigger jumps like Blanka.

Advantages-
===== <span class="invisible-header">8LK</span> =====
*Low jump- Low jump RH and MP are effective pressure, and empty low jump is a effective mixup to low short.  
{{MoveData
*Run- Best way to chase down and mixup after rekkas, as well as punish tech rolls.  
| name    = Jumping Short
*Counter Roll- The BEST defense against A groove, period.
| input    = 8LK 
*Power Up- Without great supers, sometimes a just a pop is nice. Extra guard damage too.

Due to his big damage without meter, high pressure, and rush down, Iori is best in the front position. You will almost always die with a full meter w/ Iori.
=== Command Normals ===


New school thought is that matchups always outweigh battery/user/anchor theory, so if you want to move Iori away from a short/skinny problem character like Cammy to a better MU like Vega or Guile, go for it.

Quote from Buktooths guide:
"The above frame data for the three button strengths represent what happens if
Iori never makes contact with the enemy. For example, a roundhouse whiffed
Running Grab has 5 frames start up, runs for 64 frames, then has 12 frame
recovery. If at any time during those 64 frames of running Iori makes contact
with his opponent, he then takes 4 frames for his arm to whip around, which has
an active hitbox for 5 frames, and has a 29 frame recovery."

= The Basics =
== How to play the neutral game ==
 
Big poke of choice:
 
Stand RH=
*crouchable by half the cast (every female character, Ryo, shotos, Rolento, Haohmaru, Vega, Yun, Kim, Rock, Iori)
*treat this move like a budget Sakura or Yamazaki stand RH (yama speed/damage, but -2 instead of +2 on block)
 
RC Rekka
*Yeah, treat this as a poke. An invincible, -5 on block, uncrouchable, potentially 2200 damage poke.
 
Otherwise pokes:
 
*Crouch MP (If they crouch stand RH or you're too far away for jabs and shorts, hit this move)
* Stand MP/ F+MP (moves Iori forward a good bit, pretty negative on block, and is cancelable into rekkas or fireball, use caution)
 
Whiff punishers:
 
*Stand MK (deceptively big range, 6f startup, super cancellable, crap on block)
*Low RH (huge range, 9f startup, knockdown, you're dead on block)
 
Anti Air:
*C. HP (perfect 45 degree angle, only beaten by super good jump ins, bufferable into fireball for followup)
*Dragon punch (use HP for most damage if done deep. MP  seems to have the most hitting invincibility though)
*Close HK (for people directly over your head)
 
Fireball:
*Throw jab at 3/4 screen range and follow. The end. It's pretty useless in neutral otherwise.

Almost any Iori B&B combo can be started with hcb-twd + punch (Scum Gale).
 
==How to Land Hits==
 
Iori has a good number of ways to open people up.
*1) Low shorts (catch people not blocking low)
*2) Scum Gale (leads to full combo)
*3) Frame traps: the classic throw / attack mixup
*4) Post Knockdown setups: ambiguous rolls, safe jumps, cross up B+LK, empty jump low
*5) Guard Break: Via poke & RC rekka pressure or A Groove guard crush custom.
*6) Overheads: F+MK is dreadfully slow, and short jump MP can work on tall characters.
*7) Successful Parry/JD/Dodge/Roll Through/Counter Roll. Groove/Character/Move Specific.
 
== Super Combos ==
cr.short x 3, qcf-hcb + punch (any level)

  • While sharing almost the exact same traits as the close jab, the standing jab doesn't have that many tactical uses; You're too far away to tick into throws, and Iori's walking speed is too slow for repeated walk up jabs to set up anything threatening. If you're at this range hit low strong instead.

  • This move has the special property of being able to chain into Iori's f+strong. There's only one instance in which I use this move, and that's to combo after a connected Scum Gale. Even though it's a far reaching bufferable move, buffering into fireballs is not safe, and the move itself leaves much to be desired in terms of priority and speed. It reaches farther than the f+strong, but at that distance a fierce rekka ken will completely miss. Needless to say, a whiffed rekka ken will lead to a lot of hurt.

  • Reading on the left of the commas refer to when Iori's head is going OUT. Reading on the right refers to when Iori's head is going UP.

This move doesn't really have much tactical use since the distance to get the bufferable version of the fierce is really specific. However, the bufferable version happens to be Iori's most damaging bufferable move, and there's ONE useful set up to get it shown below (see Running Grab).

  • AKA "kickin 'em to da curb". Other than randomly whiffing it every now and then as a fake fireball, the only use for this move I have is for combos. See combo section.

  • I probably don't use this move as much as I should. It's quick, has surprising range, and even more surprising priority. I'd use it against characters that can crouch the standing roundhouse if you can get into the range to use it.

6/13/03 - Some Japanese players like to punish whiffs with s.forward into super, but I find that whenever I bait a whiff I'm too far away to hit with a s.forward. I just do a low/standing roundhouse instead. I also noticed that Japanese players have set-ups for COUNTER HIT s.forward and buffer the super on reaction, but to me that's in-humanly difficult (the window to buffer is 3 frames long, 1/20th of a second). That super isn't one that you want to have blocked.

  • Iori's best poke by far, despite having the distinction of being one of Iori's two crouchable moves. Any character bigger than a shoto is fair game, however. You can use it fairly liberally against the characters that cannot crouch it to slowly drain their guard meter and entice them into making a mistake that will get you the all-important knockdown Iori needs to get in. Be aware, though, that the move is not safe against a fast roll and that Sagat can punish you hard with a standing fierce into super if you whiff it.
  • Crouchable by half the cast (every female character, Ryo, shotos, Rolento, Haohmaru, Vega, Yun, Kim, Rock, Iori)
  • Treat this move like a budget Sakura or Yamazaki stand RH (yama speed/damage, but -2 instead of +2 on block)

Iori's close jab is very useful for many reasons:

  1. ) Comes out in 2 frames, making it Iori's fastest move. 2 frames are as fast as moves get in CvS2 with the exception of Zangief's SPD, which is the only 1 frame move in the game. So what does this mean? Whenever you're in a situation where you have to mash a move, such as trying to avoid a throw, this is the move to mash.
  2. ) +7 advantage, also the most out of any of Iori's moves. 7 frames is a fairly huge advantage as far as CvS2 goes, meaning most links afterwards are brain-dead easy if the jab hits, and if blocked you have ample time to set up stuff safely like walk up to your opponent again and get another close jab. A perfectly timed close jab tick into Scum Gale (8 frames) is very difficult to reverse by jabs or throws. All tick throws can be escaped by jumps, however.
  3. ) At 400 damage, it's the most damaging out of all of Iori's weak attacks that can be chained together.

  • For the commas above, the reading on the left refers to the first portion of the fierce, where Iori's fist is around his waist level. The second reading refers to when Iori's fist is over his head.

Outside of combos, the main use for this move is for anti-cross ups. Close roundhouse is your main anti-cross up, but you'll want to use close fierce against characters with bigger jumps like Blanka.
