KOF XIII: Iori combo tutorial - Iori, Unbridled Instinct

[overcoat34]

If this ever got modded I think the first thing someone would do is give Iroi cat ears and replace his neomax scream with a panther roar or something.

[BIMBOBOOP]

This means Iori and Freeman had somekind of connection? I always haved that feeelings since both are pretty much insane.

[comentarista000]

Iori's Neo Max is fucking awesome :D

[dablackgoku13]

Got a question. Is Iori Max DM stronger when it's 'full cinematic'(when you see the blood) or when it isn't? Or does it not matter?

[Cooljmon1]

@dablackgoku13 Nice question. I think when it's 'full cinematic' that means the move connected entirely. When it's not 'full cinematic' it kinda seems like his slash didn't 'hook' into him all the way so it delivers less damage.

[dablackgoku13]

I don't know which Iori outfit is worse, Flames or this one, lol. Anyway, yeah. I'm really liking Flameless Iori a lot. He seems to be pure rushdown.

[djandredjandre]

pffff. iori sin su fuego ya pierde toda la maldita gracia :/

[ZeroX1803]

Who wants a Freeman vs Flameless Iori match???...

[emaculatej650]

Once this games gets better for online everyone will be playing over ssf4. Right now id say UMVC3 is still the best fighting game now, but i havent played SC5 yet

[RandomAHOL]

I can't unhear an angsty Piccolo, Kurogane, Zoro or Rundas from a possible English version of Iori for some reason....

Christopher Sabat as ENG Iori anyone?

[Vergil14]

@RandomAHOL that could actually qork, unless as deep compared to the characters you mentioned.

[FusionAJ93]

@RandomAHOL

I was thinking of the same thing

[LAHrebirth]

old school '97 iori is much scarier, he looks like a 70's pornstar in this :D

[ChenJianrui]

looks uncool without flame..T - T

[phantom2468]

Nice combos man. I have used some of those myself. I find myself torn between which version of Iori I like the the most.

[nuslliw]

Iori is the biggest emo to come along and wishes to engage in BDSM by arriving to every fight with his feet tied together.

[KazumatheShelBulet23]

Flames Irori was the first character I used in Snk vs. Capcom 2. Ever since he's been my fav. character to use in KOF. I FREAKIN LOVE THIS GUY!!!

[Glacier2030]

Now with Combo 11, it doesn't seem to work...The dashing scratch move doesn't seem to close into the opponent enough for the grab move to connect with it. It's been giving me problems...It works if I don't add the second hit with fwd-LP x2. The first one, yes, but after the second hit, it seems to all go downhill. I need help with this one.

[KoRnmorgan]

i love dat new ''scratch'' power!! fucking awesome!! remindsme of freeman from GAROU motw

[gsskofera817]

Ash stole his power but it seems he became stronger!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Cna someone tell me what A,B,C, and D are?

Is it like LP,HP,LK,HK?

[crcromwell]

@ArtificialFlavaFTB2 a and c are punches, b and d are kicks

[chipujas88]

apology is meant (std, fwd, QCB, bk, hcf, dp, qcfx2, hcb, etc) thanks

[Talegolas]

so what's the lore? how come Iori doesn't use his flames? did he lose them like Kyo was losing them in prior games?

[mrdbzpunk360]

@Talegolas No Ash crimson stole them from him

[jorgeluisjl20]

this is exactly what I was looking for. thanks

[ChaosGShadowX]

Even if he doesn't have his powers, can I get his old qcb+P (3x) combo? That definitely was a killer combo

[wyrmqueen]

@ChaosGShadowX No, he doesn't have that move when flameless. But don't worry, Flame Iori is an extra character in the console version.

[Gamersupreme]

@noobass1996 its not hard inputs like "qcf" mean quarter circle forward and "hcb" means half circle back. hope that helps dude

[noobass1996]

finally....someone who included the inputs=D but i will take a long time disyfering(think i spelled it wrong)it

[hirowazunaga]

wow such nice music and combos! thanks for the upload. just got this 2 days ago and looking foward to joing the world of KOF XIII for first time ( new to series)

[klyzTV]

which of these combos would you say is his bread and butter?

[heyitsthejoker]

@klyzTV I personally think it is the combo number 8. I find it really useful in all sorts of situations.

[xErmac1]

Fuck they are so difficult

[names667]

what does std , fwd , and qcb stand for ????

[nathan900130]

@names667 std=stand, fwd=forward, qcb=quarter circle backwards

[names667]

@nathan900130 alright thanks , what about the +A,B,C,D Next To It ?

[nathan900130]

@names667 i believe is this: for xbox, "A, B, C, D" is "X, Y, A, B"; fpr PS3, is "square, triangle, X, circle"

[names667]

@nathan900130 oh alright thanks

[venomchris]

BRO, YOUR VIDS ARE SIIIIICKKK. i just played my friends today, but it feels right at home, gonna pick it up aaasap and get used to the tweaks and lay the smack down on you online XD

[Kenji739]

ive never seen something so brutal in my life

[supaniggaman]

how did he lose his flames n da 1st place

[Monkerr]

@supaniggaman Ash took them

[DrozGodhammer]

Flameless Iori's new fighting style has made him stand out more against Kyo. but I would like to imagine this new style combined with his purple flames..... now that would be the most badass Iori ever!!!!!!

[Revonify]

taking notes know thanks

[lin2k4]

Wish I could fight like that in real life

[jayChrist5566]

fucking hoolyy shit combo!! i like!

[TheVodias]

Il est mortel !!! Et le combos à 2:20 est MAGNIFIQUE !!!!!!!!!!!

[Romeodrakula]

Scratch scratch scratch. -_-;;;

I'm so glad they gave Iori back his flames. For a moment I thought he was doomed to fight forever as a sissy. Anyway, excellent work on all your combo tutorials! You fight with style, man.

[tabben82]

I kinda like him without his flames tbh. Feels like its more ruthless movements in his skills

[zylone]

@tabben82 tru. im grateful that we get both versions. ive been wanting to play him without his flames and kyo without his. :D

[TheDoom13]

he fight like a girl without his flame lol

I want his flame back!!!

[nathan900130]

I love the way he perform the super claw in 0:30

[jdv338]

very good, but I've seen better.

[SuperJosesito100]

i got this is easy

[metsuadoken]

goog combos very good!

[Polentakid]

is that iori or freeman?

[BloodSportA2]

@Polentakid Sounds like a job for the color editor :D

[sunnyboy8644]

@Polentakid lol how dare you disrespect iori like that ! :)

[TheAsadbhatti]

@Polentakid well you should look care fully he is Iori and is way better than freeman.maybe u should go to a doctor or something

[gsskofera817]

@Polentakid I thought exactly the same

[jacketron86]

Iori had three special attacks in KOF 2002...with a Max Cancel...in this version the Special attacks are crazy, but only have two...BAD

[DaGRAV3]

i think wolverine is jealous of Iori's max cancel...

[shadowbattalion1]

Actually, 19 does the most damage, not 7. 7 is most basic but doesn't do as much damage as 7......just to clarify.

[shamlix]

@shadowbattalion1

yes 19 does the most damage, thx mr obvious.

and 7 doesn't do as much damage as 7 ....?

[shadowbattalion1]

@shamlix lol sorry. That's my job, to state the obvious (not really). And I meant 19.... :P

[THELSUCCESSOR]

ok that was cool but seriously were talking about 20 combs that start with a jump attack what if my opponent knows about that

but still some combos r like a bomb to the opponent once u use them cool video

[dusperz]

@THELSUCCESSOR He's showing you the MOST damage possible---which is done off a jumping attack. Combos can be broken down into their individual bits and pieces. Take out the jump move and you're left with what the combo would start with on the ground.

One of the best ways to start your combos with Iori when both people are standing is with a forward +B, because it hits low but you remain standing so there's a 50/50 chance they won't block low in time.From forward +b you can do these combos u see

[NarutoOmega360]

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen T-T

[GOBbluthagain]

loving those max cancels ...

but he had better get his flames back in the next game.

[Bergmansan]

SNK should make a boss team with Rugal Bernstein, Geese Howard and Wolfgang Krauser for console dlc download thumbs up for this if you like i

[ZeroX1803]

@Bergmansan Hey dont make imposibles man... that team would be beast and unbeatable...

[Taizuko]

1:20 is nothing but the saxophone guy and Iori going straight HAM!

[Cooljmon1]

@Taizuko Hahaha I know right? Who woulda thought that such smooth music would go so well with Iori...I guess music soothes the savage beast after all lol

[DeathWaker126]

Who's excited for playing as Iori with his flames again?

[IraqiDude321]

@DeathWaker126 I'm not to big in the KOF storyline how did he lose his flames to begin with?

[somebodyishere]

HCF+A is a command throw AND a Combo Starter?

It seems sooooooo abusable.

[xxXkdashXxx]

best character ever

[MKTurkiyeKuaiLiang]

@xxXkdashXxx 1st character  İori Yagami (:

[Revonify]

damn iroi is a beast i like this version of him fuck the old version not in a mean way

[Bleachlover01]

Old Iori is back, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'll abandon this one.

[allengelico]

that is impossible to do in real fight howd u get a full energy on the start of the battle??

[DeathReacherZ1952]

@allengelico this is parctice mode.... dont u do that to practice combos once and a while?? -_-''

[allengelico]

why does he use nails on his hands not why does he not use flames?

[AkumetsuLord]

@allengelico Because he lost that power...duh, they didn't just random take away the flames for no reason

[ojosnegrosok]

nooooooo FELICITACIONES

[abismal6]

for next kof iori must have the power he has in this game and the flames

[NeoShadowReaper]

let hope kof xiv

[alexxpaull]

my best character since 1995.......

[RandomAHOL]

@RandomAHOL Oh, nevermind. I saw a vid where he did it, but looks like he gains I think less distance from it.

[alx723]

Supposively, Iori with flames will be in XIII as dlc if you preorder, but its limited

[Wakko2000]

There's another way to combo into Iori's HCF+C command grab without starting from a crossup Jump Back+B: Stand B > forward + A > HCF+C.

You can follow-up after his HCF+C with qcb+B > Super, without drive-cancelling. The timing isn't that hard: You want to hit the opponent with the qcb+B at the highest point while he is falling (not too early or Iori will miss; not too late or the Super followup won't hit in time), then immediately perform Super. It will catch them as they are flying back.

[bowxmaster1]

Can't wait to unleash that Neo Max move of his, gonna be great!

[Bleachlover01]

I love Red Pants Iori, probably as much as the next player.  Though White Pants Iori is much more savage.

[ossamasoft]

wa3333333333333333333333333333­33 !

[iori5414]

its a good thing hes my favorite character i want to try my best to perfected him but its going to take some time to adjust and damm i want his flames back kyo sucks iori rules

[puertorricanstar]

man lori dosent have flames, and now he has those faggotly clothes showing his belly

[Seven7swords]

Iori is beast but he really need to rip his fire away from that flamer, Ash.

[CNRhKXtreme]

Imho, he's way better in XIII than he was in previous KOF games.

[humanoidilular]

@CNRhKXtreme He looks so much faster, and his moves flow together much more nicely. Fire or not, he'll still whoop ass.

[MasterSprintersan]

Iori's the freakin' BEST!! ^_^.

[MAXICHEG]

*weeaboo mode engaged* Nake! Sakebe! Soshite, shine!!

[BradRy2]

Iori needs guage to work well now compared to how easy it was for him in 12.

[sixonethreee]

I don't usually comment on youtube videos, but I just want to say thank you DontDropThatCombo, your combo videos for KOF xiii are excellent, and they've helped me a lot.

[therealbossplaya]

Got Damn these combos are so much better than the 1's in SF4 series easier 2pull off and much more flashy...and where the hell is Iori's leg 2 leg strap!!!!????

[rmnhn]

@therealbossplaya IMO, these combos are MUCH harder than the ones in street fighter 4. links are easy when you think about it and get the hang of it.

[2501thelaughingman]

00:29 even without the flames iori is still one of the best characters to apear on any fighting game ever!!!!!

[initialdody]

Err, you dont have to be in HD Mode to unleash NeoMAX??? That's new to me.

[TheKingoftheriff]

@initialdody nope. it just needs a full HD bar. it's be empty when ur done either way, that's why most ppl wait for an HD combo.

[iorilamia]

did they patch iori 100% combo then?

[neon6]

Arcade version has training mode?

[rmnhn]

@neon6 yup. you hold all attack buttons while you press start

[Akumashadow]

Combo 12 and 19 are my favs :) with flames or no flames Iori is a badass!!!!!!.....

[RunningWildVidya]

I like Iori better without the flames. KOF has another flame spewing characters already as it is. Iori is way cooler without a fireball and dragon punch.

Just bring back his classic rekka, and all is good.

[yamazaky96]

@RunningWildVidya but now he is just a copycat of mark of the wolves's free man...

not unique like he used to

[RunningWildVidya]

@yamazaky96 Not really. Iori always clawed at his opponents, it's just now he has fancy special claw effects. Also Freeman contorts his bodies to dodge attacks during his specials and stuff, Iori is just pure relentless rushdown.

What's interesting though is there was an Iori for Mugen made several years before KOF12 came out that didn't have his flames, and he had a somewhat similar style, but he still had his classic rekka and his dragon punch.

[yamazaky96]

@RunningWildVidya havnt U notice that he even wear the same clothes..

have similar moves and the same max effects...!

other than his dress code looks gay...!

I wonder who will be next

[DJSonidol]

Iori still a badass , my god. They should add Iori '98 has a exclusive console character. Like, after beating his ending(obvious he got his power back), the screen pop out like 'You unlocked Iori '98! When highlighted the character Iori by holding down SELECT.'

If that doesn't work out, then there's always dlc. C'mon Octuber.....!!

[cursedvanity]

i love this song

[cmysharingan]

God Bless you sir, this video will come in so much handy when October rolls around :D

[RivalArena]

Posted this video on the front of my site rivalarena(dot)com

[mariusrhpsd]

wow... just wow... i love the new combo system, so much power!XD

[MrBlueray25]

With or without flames, Iori still kicks ass. It goes to show how dangerous he is even when fighting with raw power. Unbridled instincts indeed.

Anyway, amazing videos of urs, n I like e detailed tutorial of each combos. KEEP IT UP DUDE! Can't wait for Kim, Duo Lon n K' combos.

[dracoyagami]

I'm expecting Iori 98 and Billy Kane for sure in the console version If the lead from last year was true.

[AkumetsuLord]

@dracoyagami its probably definitely fake yo, Billy maybe though but who knows

[dracoyagami]

Iori is pure awesomeness

[JasperCorp]

loving the combos. would it be possible to create small vids explaining character's tools and their gameplan, i would apreciate that alot!

thank you for such great content

[Nafly2K9]

What happened to his flames?

[Nafly2K9]

@jhunhoom :O

[AioNTAgah]

Old Iori <3 New Iori <33333

[AkumetsuLord]

I know lots of Fans like Good old Iori with those awesome flames, and he'll have them back on the next game since the ash saga is done. But you got to admit, Iori is still badass, with or without flames

[OrgXIII4U]

@AkumetsuLord Much agreed. And the way things look, he may keep this fighting style; they'll just have fire on the end.

[AkumetsuLord]

@OrgXIII4U Indeed

[cmysharingan]

@OrgXIII4U Honestly I think I like this better than the old Iori. His old fighting style while different is still to similar to Kyo, and I know a lot that is for story purposes, but I think this makes him more unique.

[OrgXIII4U]

@cmysharingan This style does a lot of things for Iori. He was always a beast to fight against, but with this style, he actually a full step faster than before and has gained a lot of frame advantage. Also, this style fits his personality a lot more.

[fatalfuryguy]

@cmysharingan true,but then again the way snk do things next iori'll probably have this style and his previous style mixed in, keep things fresh as they normally do with their characters

[ZeroX1803]

@OrgXIII4U Maybe there should be another new character with this style and improved...

[Vladislav187]

@AkumetsuLord

Is Ash dead?

[baeshin]

@AkumetsuLord He is still pretty cool so i agree but the lack of characters and his lack of flame made me not buy the last one. If they dont have an alt version of him with the flame at the very least o may skip this as well.

Maybe it will be my loss,but i suppose i can just get the one after this and hope for the best a far as having Iori back in all his glory.

[AkumetsuLord]

@baeshin Don't do that man. KOF12 sucked for many reasons, so its ok that u skipped it, but 13 fixed all that. It plays like proper KOF style gameplay and it has more characters (the console version is even giving us like 3 more, rumors says it would be 98 Iori with the flames) you can't pass this one up, but yeah the next game should have Iori back to normal

[ginD4th]

@baeshin Classic 98 Iori with flames will be availible as DLC. I think he comes as a free bonus if you preorder from Gamestop or Amazon.

[yamihoon]

@AkumetsuLord My question is: If Iori get back the Magatama, probably he'll haunted again by the Riot of Blood, right?

[KadzietWolf]

@AkumetsuLord Umm... SNK has stopped with the KoF franchise I've heard. They're moving onto something else or going under.

[AkumetsuLord]

@KadzietWolf ...OH YEAH THAT"S WHY THE TRAILER VIDEO AND GAMEPLAY VIDEOS OF KOFXIII's Console must all be fake...stfu :l

[KadzietWolf]

@AkumetsuLord They had to get a new publisher since Ignition left them. They're releasing the console edition but that's it

[AkumetsuLord]

@KadzietWolf What is the point of telling me this, i fucking know and really how about saying this after this game comes out and we'll see if SNK gets some good money off from it. Keep ur negative shit to yourself

[KadzietWolf]

@AkumetsuLord I want another KOF since it would suck since Iori JUST got his flames back in KOFXIII. I was only telling you what I heard dude :\ No need to swear

[AkumetsuLord]

@KadzietWolf Fine, I'm sorry for that but come on dude have some hope, don't be a downer. If the game doesn't do well, then chances are we won't get anything from SNK anymore but if it does well, then more fun titles to come. You didn't have to say stuff like that yo :D

[Bloodfisteternal]

@AkumetsuLord good thing we are getting dlc so we can play with or without flames i'll kick some ass with iori either way lol

[RandomAHOL]

@AkumetsuLord I wonder why his other flameless attacks couldn't make it in there? He could've at least had Hollyhock Flower and Scum Wind like in the old days.....

Though one thing's for sure, Picket is a much more viable overhead compared to Roaring Axe Negative "Death God".

[Redxill]

@AkumetsuLord there will be a classic style iori on the console version

[AkumetsuLord]

@Redxill I know...

[MaxtheOptimist]

@AkumetsuLord Looks like Iori will be getting his flames after all in KoF XIII

[AkumetsuLord]

@MaxtheOptimist Yeah i know, not like its surprising

[abismal6]

@AkumetsuLord iori will get his flames in the console version of the game

but its a dlc charecer :/

[AkumetsuLord]

@abismal6 God damn it, I know. Why does everyone thing i don't know D; but yeah him being DLC i have no important with that

[DiegoRC4]

He is very strong indeed, and very fast.

And some people say he sucks without his flames... ¬¬

[rpguins]

This Iori and 98 Iori are all that I need to die happy

[Koho7]

I think you should've split the combo description at the start of the vid into 2 parts instead of showing them all at the start, make it like 5-10 combos then show another 5-10 combos.

Other than that great vid as always~

[AkumetsuLord]

@Koho7 why do that when most combos are like 10-20 secs long, this is good

[xxraiza]

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRST, AMAZING COMBOS DUDE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
