Introduction

Iori has a raw, animal-like mentality, only able to speak a few words. He has a single-minded obsession with killing Kyo while in this state, to the point that he keeps screaming his name when he is not even present, but nonetheless he will attack anyone in his path. Due to his Yagami heritage, Iori can control fire. He can create purple fire from thin air, create fire balls, deliver punches of fire, create pillars of fire and put his own body on fire. His purple fire also has the sacred ability to put enemies in a stasis-like state. However, as a rule with all fire-based characters, Iori cannot control other fires that he didn't create, and is not immune to other types of fire. Orochi Iori's style is exactly the same as normal Iori's, but his strength and agility have been remarkably enhanced due to the Orochi power within him reaching peak levels. He is now twice as fast and twice as strong as he was before, but to offset this he takes twice as much damage as well when playable (this drawback does not exist when he is fought as a CPU-controlled character) as a more traditional glass-cannon-type of fighting game character.

In some games, Iori in this state might have moves only exclusive to him, such as the Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki (Reverse Method 108: Eight Wine Cups), a move available at times to normal Iori or the more unique Ura 100 Shiki: Oni Honoo (Reverse Method 100: Ogre Blaze) in Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2; even in some cases, he might also have the San Shingi no Ni (Three Divine Arts No. Two), only named as "????", which is a nod to him in his berserk form holding Orochi himself by the neck at the end of KOF '97, as well as the fact that the action was surprising at the time.

His main combo tool, allows for huge damage in the corner. The second hit allows for juggles midscreen to lvl 2 Maiden Masher or in the corner it allows for anything, since second rekka put opponent into a free juggle state. This is key to huge stun damage and stun combos on 60 stun characters if you land a jump in.

Your typical upper cut super with similar uses as Ken, Akuma, Yurim etc. The difference is this super is key to huge stun in the corner for C-groove during free juggle states to combo into rekka, into more juggles. This will cause huge stun or cause the character to be stunned if hit prior to his level 2 combos. In other grooves, the level 1 is useful after 2nd rekka for damage and hard knockdown. Maiden Masher is better for level 3 usage.
