The King of Fighters XV

OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

Billy Kane is a dedicated loyalist to Geese Howard and is second-in-command in the Howard Connection. He fights with an extending staff that has an impressive reach to keep his opponents at bay. Billy is known also as the ‘walking deadly weapon’ due to his hot-blooded personality.

Gameplay Overview

Billy is a rather unorthodox character with massive melee range, at the cost of being almost constantly vulnerable to getting blown up. Making the absolute best use of Billy's tools is paramount to his survival and cracking open the opponent.

Using his extending bo staff, Billy can attack the opponent from a greater distance than Haohmaru. The heavy version of Sansetsu Kon Chuudan Uchi (426C/AC) has followups that allow Billy to deal an extra hit, suck in the opponent, or both. The EX version in particular does a lot of damage and gives enough time to follow up with a super.

Kyoushuu Hishou Kon (623K[K]) is the cornerstone of Billy's combo game. It is a launcher that permits for multiple followups such as Senpuu Kon (623P[P]), but its recovery can make timing combos, such as the quintessential Kaen Suzume Otoshi (214AC > 236P), which is an already tricky followup attack, hard to land. Mastering the timing of these options is very important if you want to do well with Billy.

Like his boss, Geese Howard, Billy has a set of 3-frame counters for when he must play defensive, which can occur typically for Billy. Ka Ryuu Tsuigeki Kon (214B/BD) counters aerial moves, as well as physical specials and supers. Sui Ryuu Tsuigeki Kon (214D) counters high and low ground attacks. Billy may be seen trying to use his counters more often than other characters with them, as Billy is very prone to getting badly hurt from playing offensively.

The reason why Billy is so vulnerable to getting obliterated is due in part to his attacks, which are slow and have hurtboxes that stretch beyond their hitbox. If the opponent is able to react quickly, it can very easily spell the end of the match. Taking account of your opponent's actions is key to scoring a round as Billy.

Billy is a read-based character that forces knowledge check situations and has to capitalize on them with meter.
Pros Cons
  • Respectable Damage: Because he can use both the meterless and EX versions of Kyoushuu Hishou Kon and Suzume Otoshi once in a combo, Billy is capable of racking up a lot of damage without having to spend much meter. He also gets a surprising amount of meter back from his combos.
  • Great Shatter Strike: One of the best in the game due to its exceptional range, which also makes it harder to punish on block. Very strong tool against air approaches and oppressive corner pressure too.
  • Fast Counters: His 214BD activates on the first possible frame which can blow up safe jumps and meaties. It also grants a hard knockdown for your own safe jumps. His meterless counters start up at 3 frames, and can counter a wide range of attacks; 214B counters aerials, specials, and supers, while 214D counters any grounded normal.
  • Long Melee Range: Billy uses an extending bo staff that he can detonate on hit. Mastering Billy's extending specials such as Suzume Otoshi (214P[P]) and Sansetsu Kon Chuudan Uchi (426P[P]) can make him very hard to approach.
  • Great Autocombo: While most characters' autocombos lead into the light version of a certain special, Billy's autocombo leads into the heavy version of Kyoushuu Hishou Kon, which has better comboability than the light version. This makes it easy for Billy to perform high-damage combos with meter.
  • Spaghetti Arms: Billy has a hard time trying to dominate space, as the hurtboxes on his attacks are larger than the hitboxes. He is likely to trade and lose certain exchanges.
  • Funky Execution: Billy's main combo structure involves using moves that send him airborne, and then following up with a grounded special with a lengthy input, and so on. Because of this, the rigidity of Billy's combo structure is noticeably tighter than the rest of the cast. Since Billy doesn't have any hard knockdowns outside of his EX counter and his supers, dropping a combo at any point can lead to Billy losing out massively on damage and carry.

75 Mid command 19 7 26 Wall Splat - HKD (gnd) (67 to 82) -10 - 100 160
  • Massive range, hard to hop over, damaging conversions.
  • Shifts hurtbox backwards during its startup (as does shatter strike), letting Billy blow up opponents who are trying to jab after a blocked 6A etc.
  • CD is a corner one-hit confirm that can be quickly followed up with late cancel 6B on hit. Billy is slightly plus if the opponent guard rolls it, but the opponent will be point blank so throw will beat all but the riskiest options.
  • CD > 6A (whiff) is a midscreen confirm that can be followed up with 6B on hit. It can be whiff punished if spaced poorly or if the opponent has long reach. If close enough, 6A gets blocked. If very close, GC roll back vs CD scores punish.
  • CD > 426C... is a ranged blockstring frametrap. Be warned if an opponent rolls 426C, using the ~236P followup makes it unsafe

  • Billy has a miniscule hitbox for the crossup and a hurtbox around it so you can even get hurt by wakeup throw mash.
  • Landing it will net you a 2B or cl.B into autocombo for good damage.
  • Hitting an airborne target will cause a hard knockdown.

  • If done close enough to pull the opponent into throw range you have very few options (basically just throw buffer or reversal super).

  • Billy's signature pole vault. Launches on the way up, strikes on the way down.
  • D and EX versions track the opponent's position, if you for some reason would use this outside of combos, but they can easily be blown up with even a slight walk forward.
  • B & EX versions combos from light attacks, where EX launches the opponent higher for better midscreen combos.
  • You can cancel the recovery of each version into Senpuu Kon (623P) for frametrapping or in corner combos.

  • EX is as fast as A version, but lets you juggle after even without trading.

  • B version counters air attacks, special moves, and supers.
  • EX version counters overheads and mids but doesn't work on lows. It is hitbox based so a low enough mid (eg. Krohnen 2C) will win.
  • EX version starts on the first frame allowing you to blow up safe-jumps.
  • EX version leads to a hard knockdown and as an antiair can be linked with 236236K.
  • Not a catch counter which means you can whiff parts of the move or even entirely against cross-ups for example.
