Move Properties:
-cancellable normals are close A, crouch A, close B, close C, far C, crouch C
-CD is cancellable into command moves, specials and DMs
-f+B and third qcb+P are overheads
-hcb+K, last hit of qcb+Px3 and qcf hcb+AC are knockdowns
-dp+C is supercancellable on first and second hit
-close B is a low attack
Strategies:
-using b+B during the beginning of a backdash will make him dash back nearly a full screen length. Use this to easily get away from rushdown, as well as baiting opponents (mainly on wakeup). This can be used to run up then backdash away
-far D is a fairly useful poke
-use jump C or jump A air to ground battles, early jump D or jump CD for air to air battles
-if qcb+A is blocked, do it once more or stop, not a third time. Use random delays between them, for mindgames
-hcb f+P has some startup of invincibility, use it against jumpins or by running up
-run up to opponent and do close C, as it will stop all jump attempts. Even better, if the opponent happens to jump behind you when the close C comes out, Iori automatically faces the correct side and will anti-air them
-if opponent is close, hopping up or back with D stops most jump attempts by the opponent
-sometimes attempt to do the jump b+B crossover (the trick to doing this is when jumping over your opponent hold the forward and hit the B reasonably late). However, this crossup can be blocked low, and it is usually really obvious. Some characters can simply sweep Iori when he attempts this crossup. Hyper hopping over the opponent into the crossup makes it a far more dangerous tool
