COMBOS

Here are some basic Iori combos that work well against most opponents. Some basic pointers on his combos first of all...

Make sure you got fast hands
Hopping with Iori is MUCH MUCH better than jumping.
Stick a KuzuKaze wherever you can
His crouch A and B are abused my all Iori players, so ABUSE IT!
Try and perfect the Iori Hook Kick! It's a must for an Iori player
C and D when jumping can be swapped. General Rule: C for hops and D for anti-air battles
Combos with a fwd + A should be cancelled off the FIRST hit for a 90% success rate
Also any combo with a fwd + C, the previous hit MUST be either a Close hitting Stand C, Crouch A or a Close hitting Stand B

Jumping Combos --> Your standard attacks for an average player
(These are when the the Stand C is FAR hitting ie. the downward slash)

Jump C/D, Stand C, qcb + C x3 (5 hits) <-- Your standard combo
Jump C/D, Stand C, qcf + C (3 hits) <-- 'A' version Yamai Barai DOES NOT connect, unless in corner (I Think?!?!!?)

(These combos are when the Stand C is CLOSE hitting ie: upward punch)

Jump C/D, Stand C, qcf + A/C (3 hits)
Jump C/D, Stand C, qcb + A/C x3 (5 hits) <-- your standard combo
Jump C/D, Stand C, hcb + B/D (4 hits)
Jump C/D, Stand C, dp + A/C (3-5 hits)
Jump C/D, Stand C, fwd + A, qcb + C x3 (6 hits) <-- variation of standard combo

(The Stand B and Stand C in the following combos must be CLOSE hitting ie. downward shin step)

Hook Kick, Stand B, fwd + A, qcb + A/C x3 (6-7 hits)
Hook Kick, Crouch A, fwd + A, qcb + A/C x3 (6-7 hits) <-- safer than the above, but less classy!
Hook Kick, Stand C, fwd + A, qcb + A/C x3 (6-7 hits) <-- sometimes misses

Running Combos --> Standard ground, run-in combos
(Any of the jumping combos can be done without the jump at the start)

Crouch B, Crouch A, fwd + A, qcb + C x3 (6-7 hits)
Crouch A, fwd + A, qcb + C x3 (5-6 hits)

Basic DM combos
(These require at least one stock of POW)

Jump C/D, Stand C, qcf,hcb + A/C (10 hits)
Jump C/D, Stand C, fwd + A, qcf, hcb + A/C (11 hits)

Hook Kick, Stand B, fwd + A, qcf, hcb + A/C (11 hits)
Hook Kick, Crouch A, fwd + A, qcf, hcb + A/C (11 hits)
Hook Kick, Stand C, fwd + A, qcf ,hcb + A/C (11 hits) <-- sometimes misses

Advanced Combos
(These are SUPER tough to pull out, but dish out huge damage)

In King of Fighters 97 only
(Get opponent in corner)
Stand B, fwd + A, A, qcb + A, qbc + C, crouch A (cancel), qcf, hcb + A/C (13 hits)
