Technically, he has some new moves; the Ya Sakazuki, Tsumagushi and his new KOF2000 Super are new. There's also the super of his "Riot" form in CvS that's like a Shoryureppa with Oniyakis.
Also, the main reason Kyo was changed (I think) was that in KOF'95, he and Iori were extremely similar in moves and strategy, and thus in danger of becoming like Ken and Ryu.
If I changed Iori, it would be to the type of fighter whose main strategy is to exploit opponents' mistakes. This would be an excellent way to complement Kyo--Kyo is an offensive-oriented character who can be beaten around pretty badly if he messes up, and Iori could be a defensive-oriented character who can really do damage to an opponent who messes up.
