Video games reviewers have praised the character as one of the most powerful characters from the series. Reviewers also noted Iori as one of the best characters from the games, labeling him as a veteran character and praising his appearance as one of the best creations of SNK. Within Gamest's 1997 Heroes Collection, Iori was voted as the staff's first favorite character. A variety of collectibles based on Iori's likeness have been created, including key chains and figurines.

During the early development stages of The King of Fighters '99, SNK planned to exclude Iori and Kyo to the game, as the story's focus was meant to center on the new protagonist, K'. However, they retracted this decision because of the popularity of the characters.[8] Iori's repeated appearances in the series is due to the marketers and main planners' insistence to add him, Kyo, and other SNK regulars in every game—making it a challenge to decide the story for each title.[9] Because of his popularity amongst fans, some of the main designers for the series have stated that he is "difficult to draw for".

@Shyber: Achievement awarded .

LMAO. That was sneaky

I actually meant a different achievement.

 

[Bad Mofo]

@ Bad Mofo
i heard that MAI's not in kof XII

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!

that just plain sucks.

screw snk-playmore and screw kofxii.

that is just insane! how can there be an snk fighter without mai!

also:

The game will feature roster of 20 characters

just 20?

i mean sure, quality over quantity and all that, but that's a little too little for a kof game.

 

[babloo]

they better announce some hidden characters soon . no k' , no rugal , where's that lil ba**** choi lol .

 

[Bone Breaker]

they better announce some hidden characters soon . no k' , no rugal , where's that lil ba**** choi lol .

he is in man donot worry

 

[azharkhan]

Only for consoles not for PC....?
I played king of fighters 98 to 01 on my PC with the keyboard and i waz very good at it....!

 

[BeLoShI]

Would love to see KOF again and would love to play over and over again . Between friends and siblings these games are really fun to play.

A true means to have fun and sometimes win PIZZAs and other stuff from Parents

 

[feenuxboy]

20 characters r a bit low considerin the previous games of kof e.g kof 2002 hav 39 shown characters n 5 secret characters...

@ BeLoSHI
thatz wat em talkin abt,
me n my frdzzz hav kof challenges on every weekend..

 

[irontriggor]

Heres IRON..

nice thread Deso.. Yeah KOF rocks.. and KOFXII = the best KOF yet.. playin it since KOF2k.. This will surly boost up KOF's Reputation.. and i hope it'll be in EVO2010.. Spirites look awesome.. waitin for this game since the day it was announced.. THE BEST MAKEOVER after KOF2k3.. the best thing .. tht its 100% HAND DRAWN, a great treat for an Anime fan like myself..

did u guys knw tht at TOKYO game show.. KOFXII was at no.3 .. which means it'll surly be better then SF4..

The game is actually 2.5D .. which means.. tht the spirites were 1st drawin in 3D then redrawn as 2D for the same old experience..

The new system Rox.. Critical counter is sumthing tht'll over come the Parry system in SF.. The backgrounds are astonishing.. cant w8.. LuV u SNKP..


Frm the info i got frm my JPN buds..

Iori is a Middle tier now., his Fireballs are gone.. which sux btw..
ASH..KYO..SHEN..DUOLON are amongst the top tiers.. SHEN ROCKS

AOU 2009 Trailer

[mystirfan]

After playing SF4 everyones expectations from this game would be very high ........

 

[irontriggor]

Im sure this will be alot beter then SF4... frankly i never Liked SF4.. im still gonna get it tho.. its cheesy new looks kinds suCk.. mre like SF EX.. now all the SFs will be like this one.. they messed up the whole 2d thing.. on the other hand, SNKP honored their fans and kept it same which is kool.. KOFXII will surly be a master piece..

My Game Ranking:
#1 Tekken
#2 KOF
#3 Guilty Gear
#4 SF

you ppl shud play Guilty Gear.. awesome game..


KOFXII is an experiment.. so they had to cutt of NESTS SAGA and RUGAL SAGA.. KOFXII has no story, so there wont be any ending.. which sux btw.. i hope they create a short ANIME for each team ending..

KOF has always been on both consoles so no fanboyism .. tho im at PS side ( can i get my PS3 Fanboy award now )..


my Team:
KIM (LEader)
SHEN WOO
ASH

^Loving the console isn't sufficient for winning the achievement. You need to work hard in the PlayStation section in order to get it.

 

[irontriggor]

^ok.. will do..
