Smash Moveset #23: Iori Yagami (Part 2)

Link to Part 1

Specials

D-Special: Max Mode

After filling up a blue bar near Iori's portrait, Iori can enter Max Mode. The blue meter will slowly deplete while in Max Mode, but during this time, Iori can perform EX Specials using traditional fighting game commands at the cost of 1/4th of his maximum meter value and cancel into them out of normal moves except Sweetspot Dash Attack. Even if less than 1/4th of the meter remains, an EX move can still be executed using the remainder of the bar. Iori can also cancel normal moves into Max Mode activation at the cost of half of his Max Mode meter.

N-Special: 108 Shiki - Yamibarai

Iori shoots out a crawling flame along the ground that dissipates once it hits something.

N-Special EX

Iori places his Yamibarai in front of him and swings his other hand, sending the flame forward at higher speed. The flame deals damage once Iori sets it, allowing it to hit twice at close range, and the fireball after being launched forward will stun opponents on hit.

F-Special: 311 Shiki - Tsumakushi

Iori leaps forward while performing a flame-enhanced claw slash.

F-Special EX

Iori leaps further forward, performing the same move with slightly higher damage. On the ground, Iori will automatically follow up this move with an upward swing similar to the ender of the EX version of his rekka special from KoF 14.

U-Special: 100 Shiki - Oniyaki

A rising backhanded punch similar to a Shoryuken-style move.

U-Special EX

Iori performs Kyo Kusanagi's version of EX Oniyaki, jumping further in the air and spinning to deal additional hits of damage.

Final Smash: Kin 1218 Shiki - Yatagarasu

Iori, consumed by Riot of the Blood, rushes forward while dragging his hand along the ground, leaving a trail of flames along the ground as he moves. Upon reaching a target, Iori will swing his hand upward, creating a large flame slash around his body, dealing massive damage to opponents hit by it.
