KOF XII - Iori Yagami thread

Err the more sensible translation for Iori’s super is ‘8 Maidens’, his super is a reference to the Orochi myth after all.
Anyway, how do u use his HCF+C throw? Does it work as an antiair or…

jump D, standing C, f+A, scumgale, dash CD, DP+C, maiden masher. thats the best combo ive got for him now. i think i saw a combo when you do the scumgale and throw you opponent into the corner you could juggle with CD into QCB+A or C, into another dash +CD into QCB+A or C into dm or something similar in that fashion. whats the best yall got? i cant seem to link another dashing CD or even non dashing CD after the QCB+C.

To clarify, is “scumgale” the command grab?

Yeah, that’s correct.

It should be this:

CC -> qcb+B x3 -> j. A -> j. C -> C -> f+A -> hcf+C -> dash CD -> dp+C -> super (62.9%)

The main combo I’m doing is d. B -> d. A -> f+A -> qcb+A, you should be able to do qcb+C -> dp+A instead, but you’ll find that if you’re not close enough the first hit of the qcb+C will miss and you might get punished, so I rarely try that.

And for the other combo, I do j. A -> A or C (depending on how deep the j.A is) -> f+A -> hcf+C -> whatevers

In regards to Musolini: That into the corner combo with his hcf+C, you do a really short dash CD -> qcb+C (must be C version) -> CD (no dash) -> qcb+C (must be C) -> super. You’ll want to make you the dash is very short, as if you do it later, the opponent will not be high enough.

Edit: Credit goes to Tim119 from the UK for the corner combo

thanx ill tr it when my bros borrow my cousins 360 again. they took it away yesterday, but then again im not really missing that much. normally id enjoy a kof till the next one came out, but this time around im far more interrested in the next one. then again its been like this since 99 onwards.

j. a,j. c? so jump hit the person with a then jump again and hit the person with c?

im not getting the extra j.c to hit.

As for the scum gale,cd,dp.c im getting it down, it seem im hitting the cd as deep and late as possible. real good damage into super. no super im doing scum gale,cd,qcb.a (wiff) qcb.a,dp,a

Actually that part is on the same jump. During a CC you can do multiple hits in a single jump. As for the CD -> dp+C its pretty late, but you can actually do it too late because you won’t be able to connect the super after =P

OK, thanks. something for me to work on tomorrow.

I just started picking up Iori myself, so tell me if you guys find this useful or not.
I’m getting sick of people rolling back and forth on my Iori all day, so I came up with a trick to whiff into command grab.

If you do hcf+CD, then CD again, it will do the the motion for the command grab but then his CD will take priority and come out first. Hitting CD again will cancel the first frames of his shoulder attack into his command grab, making people roll into it and get caught.
TIME TO PUNISH.

Does anyone know if part of the frame data is available for Iori (or any other character) ?

Kinda interested in how safe/unsafe his qcb+B/D is on hit/guard etc

And since dumb training mode doesn’t have any record/playback option, it’s a pain :frowning:

I believe his qcb+B (and/or D, not sure) is safe on block. If you score a counter hit with it, you can link another one in too. Like most moves, I’m sure if you miss completely it’s unsafe. I use the move mainly to close the space, hoping they block it so I can follow up with a c.b combo, or a hop + A, or to mix it up a throw.

Thanks lol but what I need is frame data etc, your info is kinda … obvious if you played Iori for more than 5min ^^

I’ll try and browse through a few japanese websites, if I find frame data for Iori, I’ll let you know.

You can get a lot more damage than just doing another qcb+K after the first one is counterhit. You even have time to run up and combo to command grab

Put some Iori combos in the wiki: http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Iori_Yagami_(KOF_XII)

this new iori is a disgrace. oh well, i prefer his original style. i hope to find competition on 98 99 one day, or even 00. i will travel to play it.

yo…what does a move in [*] mean?

What you can follow up with. He’s listing the options that you have after the previous attack.

oh ok…thanks. Another thing…about Iori’s command grab combos, does the CDxxhcb+b(whiff),qcb AxxDM combo only work on light characters or something? I first tried it out on chin and I know it works on Athena but I couldn’t get it on Kyo for nothing.

Here is a small vid I made to showcase some Iori combo from BnB to CC.

There are a few combos that I have left out…I may add them in since I only found the after the vid.

Oh and you are right, that combo only works on Chin / Athena. I couldnt get it on anyone else except them, which is why I made 2 types.
