FIGHTER GUIDE IORI'S STRATEGY
Use this hub to reach practical combos, move data, matchup notes, frame data, and Iori's published videos for DEE JAY.
Practical routes organized by starter, resources, corner position, and knockdown.
Classic-control routes are grouped by practical situation. Commands, frame values, and route order are preserved from the current Japanese source guide.
Move names use CAPCOM's official English Frame Data terminology. Route order and numerical values are shared with the Japanese guide.
5 = standing 2 = crouching 4 = back 6 = forward DR = Parry Drive Rush CDR = Cancel Drive Rush PC = Punish Counter CH = Counter Hit
Air Slasher = charge 4, then 6P Jackknife Maximum = charge 2, then 8K Rolling Sobat = 236K Machine Gun Uppercut = 214P Jus Cool = 214K
Jus Cool follow-ups LK = Funky Slicer (low) MK = Waning Moon (overhead) HK = Maximum Strike
Previously: +23F after a hit Current version: +52F after a hit
A forward dash takes 19F. OD Machine Gun Uppercut > two forward dashes > +14F
st.LP / st.LK / cr.LP / cr.LK • Reduced pushback on hit • Reduced pushback on block
• Causes a ground bounce on airborne hit
• startup 19F > 17F
• Throw invulnerability added
• Hold back after activation to reduce forward movement.

cr.HP PC > st.HP > M Machine Gun Uppercut
From farther away: cr.HP PC > H Jackknife Maximum
cr.HP > cr.MP > M Jackknife Maximum > H Jackknife Maximum • Approximately +37F after the final H Jackknife Maximum • Continue into a Knee Shot safe jump.

Quick Rolling Sobat > DR DR 6MK: approximately +5F on block, within throw range Alternatively, DR st.MP: approximately +6F on block
forward throw > forward dash > DR > DR st.MP / throw / Jus Cool
Alternative: forward throw > direct DR > delay cr.HK by approximately 1F • Approximately +2F at point-blank range on block
Quick Rolling Sobat > cr.LPx2 > st.MP active-frame meaty Alternatively: Quick Rolling Sobat > immediate Knee Shot > safe jump
OD Machine Gun Uppercut > +52F Two forward dashes leave approximately +14F at point-blank range. > Meaty strike / throw / delayed throw / shimmy / Jus Cool / block an invincible reversal
st.MP: +2F on block • cr.LP: frame trap against a 4F button • Walk back > cr.MP: whiff-punish throw techs or button presses • Walk back and wait • st.MP > MP > HP: target-combo frame trap
DR st.MP: +6F on block > Walk forward slightly into a throw / st.MP / cr.MP / walk-back shimmy
H Double Rolling Sobat: approximately +2F at close range • cr.LP / cr.MP: frame trap • Throw • Immediately walk back for a shimmy
LK follow-up: Funky Slicer — low MK follow-up: Waning Moon — overhead / +1F on block / throw-invulnerable in the current version HK follow-up: Maximum Strike — combos and airborne conversions
OD Jus Cool OD LK > low OD MK > overhead OD HK > Combo starter
Midscreen example 6MK > st.LK > OD Air Slasher > cr.MP > OD Double Rolling Sobat > SA3 / SA2
corner H Air Slasher > cr.MP > H Air Slasher
If the opponent presses buttons: st.LP CH > cr.MP > H Air Slasher
basic cr.HP PC > st.HP > M Machine Gun Uppercut
Spend Drive Gauge to extend: cr.HP PC > cr.HP > cr.MP > CDR…
In the corner, incorporate OD Jus Cool, OD Air Slasher, and similar extensions.
