Geshiki Kui (df+C) has a larger hitbox than before. Easier to attack opponent from his command throw.
Fierce Shogetsu (qcb+P) moves more forward. It combos in most situations after close C, Yumebiki(f+A>A).
Yaotome (including EX) can’t be saferolled after it hits.
EX Shogetsu’s invincibility has been taken out. However, he’s still invincible on his legs.
Fierce Akegarasu (qcb+K) has shorter recovery when blocked. Can’t be punished with normal moves.
Producer Yamamoto says:
"With Fierce Shogetsu’s longer reach and Fierce Akegarasu’s shorter recovery, it’s easier to do strings and combos. His Yaotome can’t be saferolled so attacking on wakeups may become important. With his EX Akegarasu’s projectile invincibility and EX Yaotome’s long invincibility, we’ve designed him to be playable in a different style from Flame Iori. Enjoy this Claw Iori that’s a bit different from the arcade version."
Gameplay Overview
In KOFXI, Iori flames became absent due to Ash taking them away towards the climax of the game. In KOFXII, Iori gains a brand new move set altogether to reflect his ability to fight without his flames. Now, in KOFXIII, Iori Yagami (often referred to "Claw Iori") is another character transferred successfully from the prequel with much clearer purpose and better strengths.
In KOFXIII, Iori is a powerful rush down character who excels at close combat and specialized combos. Iori generally noted for being far more combo friendly than ever and being extremely powerful with meter at his disposal. Despite losing his flames and gaining a completely different move set, there are some similarities to his old fighting style. This version of Iori still retains the ability to naturally cross the opponent up with his air b.B and use his signature back dash > air b.D to get some spacing from his opponent to prepare for another assault. Despite Iori's ability to conduct a vicious rush down game, Iori lost his ability to zone properly and he no longer use the special moves as before, save for a variation Maiden Masher.
Iori is very effective as anchor (third position) character as he becomes very powerful with meter. All of Iori's EX moves provide him with invincibility start up and they can lead to some very damaging combos. Iori also has a nice damage ratio, even without meter. Iori normal attacks are pretty decent and they can be used for multiple purposes. Many of Iori's strengths are on the ground as well and he can provide some decent juggle opportunities as well. Many of his BnB's are easy to execute but one needs understand how to capitalize and continue his pressure. Overall, Iori plays like a high functional rush down character with a brutal, multipurpose move set that will help excel in close combat against any opponent. Iori is a very consistent and powerful character to play, especially if he has meter to spare for big damage.
Pros
Cons
A very good set of normals, all of which have multiple purposes
Command grab sets the opponent up for resets and/or combo finishers
Many of his special move has juggle potential
Several EX moves have invincibility start up
A very good anchor or third character
Very good HD combos, some of which can lead up to 100% damage
Beautiful cross-up from air j.b+B (the Taco)
Needs meter for more effective defense and combos
Lack of long range abilities
Can be easily zoned out without meter
Slow walk speed
Lack of hard knockdown setups
Claw Iori and EX Iori Differences
What needs to be understood is that there are two versions of Iori in KOFXIII. This Iori of this article is known as "Claw Iori". EX Iori has his iconic purple flames back. Both Claw Iori (this version) and EX Iori (the KOFXIII DLC character - Iori with Flames) have some differences between each other and here we are going to explore them:
Claw Iori's f+A, A command command is much faster than EX Iori's f+A, A command move.
EX Iori has much better zoning abilities than the Claw Iori does
Claw Iori has better rush down tactics and damage output than EX Iori does.
Claw Iori's EX Moves in general all have start up invincibility, including his DM. None of EX Iori's DM have any invincibility start up whatsoever.
Claw Iori does not have any OTG opportunities like EX Iori does.
The Claw Iori is a bit more meter heavy and far more offensive-oriented than EX Iori
EX Iori has an extra DM (Yamisogi) at his disposal
EX Iori's Neo Max is a command grab
Claw Iori and EX Iori have two different command moves but they both serve the same purpose as overhead moves and leads into high damaging HD combos
The Claw Iori can combo into all of his command moves from cl.C, unlike EX Iori.

Iori's famous "taco" command crossup. Delivers enormous hitstun when it connects, making it all but guaranteed to combo off of. When performed off a backdash, Iori will quickly leap backwards a large distance, giving him extreme speed and maneuverability to space himself for hit and run tactics. The downside is the more often it's done, the more likely Iori is to corner himself.

Iori dashes across the screen and if he hits the opponent he does a long combo that mainly consists of scratches and it ends with one big slash, max cancel-able on the last hit. The Maiden Masher is not what it used to be, as it no longer goes "underneath" basic projectiles like it used to in the earlier games. The last hits are unscaled guaranteed damages (in bold).

Iori drags his hand on the ground then proceeds to do a huge claw slash to his opponent with a bloody, shadowy background. One of the best anti-air Neomaxes in the game as it covers 1/3rd of the screen and connects in front, above, and partially behind his head, though the damage is dependent on the distance and how solidly it hits.
