Johnatan Piazza it's a pact because the Yasakani clan was weaker then both Yata and Kusanagi, and because of a misunderstanding, they searched for strength in Orochi, making the Riot of the Blood. Then, they earned their purple flame, to match with Kusanagi clan.
Once the Seal of Orochi weakened, the Kusanagi, Yasakani and Yata clan moved Orochi to restrenght it. All the Hakkeshu were sealed in different places than Orochi and thus the plan backfired, as despite Orochi's seal got repaired, the Hakkeshu's weren't. Free, they deviced a plan to make the clans fight each other, and so killed the wife of the Yasakani head and set the Kusanagi up. Enraged, the Yasakani made the pact with Orochi to power up their flames and claim revenge on the Kusanagi.
Goddamn I remember playing this at the homie's place like it was yesterday. I finished high school, college, and had a job for 2 years. Crazy how time flies.
He's meant to be the opposite to Kyo in a lot of ways, sun vs moon, Kyos themes being rock while Iori's is Jazz, Kyo's themes have a heavy use of Electric Guitars so they gave Iori the Saxophone in his themes as the answer to the instruments that appear in every Esaka. The Bass plays alongisde the Sax in every theme without fail as that's Iori's instrument.
"Even without your flames, you're still up to no good, are you, Yagami? You need to learn when to give up!" "Spare me your lectures. This is the day you die, Kyo!" "My, aren't we in a hurry all of a sudden? That's not like you, Yagami...Are you getting nervous?" "I told you I don't need any of your lip! Just attack already!" "Oh, alright. I'll pound some shape into you! Let's go, Yagami!"
This is my favorite theme from this game, and my favorite Iori theme. This is the sort of music I'd love to fight to! SNK proving their fantastic musical taste yet again!
Unfortunate that this version of Stormy Sax didn't make it into SSBUltimate. It's my favorite. The arrangement of Stormy Sax 2 by Noriyuki Iwadare doesn't do Iori much justice either imo. But hey, it's better than nothing
What i love the most about Flameless iori is the DM tho (the Yaotome) damn.. that last part when he shred his opponent feels much more terrible than being exploded with flame~
I love How SNK Team Sound Band got the T-Square - Casiopeia Vibes right from the 90's I can tell that for sure. I Hope they can make another banger with KOF XV Yagami Theme exclusive like Kyo's 2000 Theme (Good Bye Esaka) PD: Never mind, they remake Sadistic Eyes from KOF 99
This song makes me feel so cool when I'm walking outside, or having a nice caramal latte or cafe while listening to it xD KoF has always had eargasmic soundtracks :)
We'll is not that he's angry but his sacred treasure ( yasakani no magatama) is cursed with Orochi and he brain wash Iori in order to make him as bloodthirst as he seems to be, as a matter of fact: and SNK itself said it: iori hates violence
Iori is actually one of the chillest characters imaginable when he's not under the influence of Orochi or caught up in fighting. Dude is actually the bass guitar player of a band, lol
@@user-zu9hz8iy7r aveces me gusta dar un criterio que vaya más allá de tan solo mí opinión basada en mis gustos para no caer en cosas como el menospreciar de algo, de hecho a mí antes no me gustaban los temas de iori hasta que les di una oportunidad a varios de ellos y bueno, el resto es historia
Of all Iori Yagami's theme, including KoF XIV and KoF XV, this one is my most favorite. Heck, it's up there among my most favorite video game soundtracks.
Japanese: そのまま死ね! Romaji: Sonomama Shine! English: just like that! Japanese: すぐ楽にしてやる！ Romaji: Sugu raku ni shite yaru！ English: I will end your pain. *when he attacks his enemies* Japanese: 泣け、叫べ! そして、死ねぇ！ ここまでだ!! Romaji: Nake, sakebe! Soshite, shine! Koko made da!! English: Cry, scream! Then, die! This is it!!
I'd be cool if in the next KOF theres an Iori with a combination of his old move set and the new ones with the flames combined with the slash effects... That be pretty fuckin sweet.
I'm going to be honest. I'm not the biggest fan of KOF XIII Iori, however, if there is one thing about this version of Iori that makes me appreciate it, is the animations. I mean just look at that huge bleeding scratch he does at the end of those supers. Like geez! Chill out Iori! This is King of Fighters! Not Mortal Kombat! You want to get into Mortal Kombat? Let me go ask Ed Boon. It just goes to show how brutal and powerful Iori can be even without his iconic flames.
I wish SNK stuck with 2D pixels. I know it’s more expensive and it was a factor in them almost going bankrupt (or did make them bankrupt) but still, I loved the KoF 13 sprites.
You all talk about KOF XIII everytime but i doubt you guys never buy it and play it (which is the huge reason that SNK did go bankrupt on this game becausd not many people did buy it) and in fact i doubt you guys experienced the horrible online it did had You all were more into Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 3
@Put4loc5 It's Team Yagami's Arcade ending. It's semi-canon (I think the canon one was Team Elisabeth's ending) in that while he did not beat Saiki and Ash, he did get back the Yasakani-no-Magatama, which granted him his flame powers.
