Main combo starter after a jump-in or for when you need a heavy attack. You can link cl.C after it on hit (1f link, not 2f due to pushback). Has best frame advantage (+2 on block/+4 on hit) among his cancelable light normals, so good for strings/confirm chains. cl.B is a low attack with a close activation range.cl.A hits around waistline (so not very good vs hop), chainable so can be used as combo filler.Most of his moves are virtually the same as before, and the same mixups that made him notoriously strong in other games still do apply, it's just that he won't kill in 2 combos anymore, and will need to work harder in order to win. This may sound like a deal breaker, but otherwise, as said above, Iori is still largely the same. It adds up with other small nerfs, bringing Iori's combo damage noticeably below other top tier characters (such as K' or Kasumi).Ģ) Scum Gale is not invincible, making it harder to land without getting hit, and not allowing it to be used as reversal.ģ) Iori's Max Mode damage is on the lower end of average, and with only 1 hit to confirm from for optimal damage.Ĥ) No stun means that unlike in KoF ', Iori can't stun in 2-3 combos anymore.ĥ) Priority on his buttons has gotten worse, making him more likely to get beaten and zoned out. This seemingly small change shortens Iori's confirms and lowers the damage on his BnBs. So to make it clear, Iori is still largely the same, but a few small nerfs change the picture:ġ) f+A is not cancelable. He is often called "easy to pick up, but difficult to master" his tools are easy to understand and don't change much from game to game, but when used right, Iori becomes a pain to deal with.ĭespite his reputation as the series' top tier, in this game Iori is commonly put into mid tier, which often leads to confusion and questions. This "vortex" style of play with a very strong mixup game is perhaps what earned Iori his reputation. Iori's main BnB always leads into hard knockdown, and then he can force the opponent to guess between a meaty, a command grab, or his ridiculously good crossup, which again leads into another hard knockdown. But the most notorious part about him is his oki/mixups. He has both a projectile and a DP, as well as a rekka and a command grab, all with a great set of ground and air normals. He's commonly called a rushdown/mixup character, but he's fairly versatile and has a simple but universal toolset. Iori is one of the classic KoF characters who has gained quite a reputation over the years for his strength in KoF games like '98, 2000 and XIII. All while staying true to the core 3-on-3 system which should cater to old KOF purists and newcomers alike.Deadly Flower - + / (Up to 3 times in a row)įlame Disentangle - + Quick Starter Combo ReferenceĬr.B, cr.A/cl.B, f+A, qcf,hcb+P > qcfx4+AC = 40%
The game also received a system overhaul, including tweaks to character balance, new moves, new DMs, changed properties, re-arranged inputs, new stages for all teams and bosses, new re-done theme songs, and new character art and HUD. 43 characters from KOF 2002 return (with the exception of K9999) and in addition, there are 3 EX characters, 12 new NESTS characters, 7 new bosses, and an original character "called" Nameless.
KOF 02 UM boasts a huge roster of 66 playable characters. Just like its former version, there is no story in this game, thus allowing SNK to once again add characters who were long dead or missing in the previous story arc. The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match (KOF 02 UM) is a remake of the classic dream match, The King of Fighters 2002.
