Gameplay Overview

Gameplay Notes

Pros

- Awesome normals, some of the best in the game - f+A is safe and a very good poke - Good at controlling space with normals and specials - Really good at building meter - Great as a battery or as a second character - j.C+D is amazing, specially vs. command grabs - CH j.C+D leads to meter less 307 dmg anywhere - dp+BD is arguably the best shoryu in the game - Damaging corner combos with little meter - Relatively Strong corner HD combos - HD activation start-up from a normal is invincible

Cons

- (coming soon)

Normals

Standing

s.A: 25 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A quick upward staff attack.

s.B: 30 damage, cancel-able, hits low. A downward staff attack.

s.C: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A cue strike.

s.D: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A side kick that can work like s.A as an AA.

cl. C: 85 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A 3 hit attack that can be canceled on any hit.

Crouching

cr. A: 25 damage, cancel-able only into Senpuukon and EX Senpuukon, hits mid. One of Billy's best and longest pokes.

cr. B: 30 damage, chain-able & cancel-able, hits low. A very fast low pole strike good for hit confirming.

cr. C: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. An upward pole strike that can be used for some combo enders if no meter is available.

cr. D: 80 damage, hits low. Knocks standing opponents down when hit. This move makes Billy advance slightly forward.

Jumping

j. A: 45 (40) damage. Jumping light pole strike. This move is like cr.A, but it's only true use is air to air.

j. B: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead. Jumping light kick with a very low hitbox.

j. C: 72 (70) damage, hits overhead. Jumping downward pole thrust with good range. Susceptible to trade-offs due to less than moderate priority.

j. D: 70 (68) damage, hits overhead. Jumping heavy kick with great priority. Cross up attacks can be done using this move.

Blowback Attack

CD: 75 damage, cancellable, hits mid. A baseball bat swing with excellent range.

j. CD: 90 (80) damage, hits mid. A downward swing with moderate range. This is a good combo starter on counter hit.

GCCD: 10 damage, hits mid. Guard Cancel Blowback Attack.

Throws

Zigokuotoshi = b/f + C/D close 100 damage, can be broken, causes hard knockdown. Billy picks the opponent and shakes them with the stick then slams them.

Command Moves

Daikaitenkeri = f+a 40+42 damage, hits mid. Billy does a short jumping spinning pole attack to a reverse aerial roundhouse kick. This is a relatively safe move. Depending on what it is canceled from, it can sometimes do 1 hit instead of 2.

Boutakatobikeri = f+b 50 damage, hits high. Billy vaults with his pole, and fly kicks forward. This move is great at combo extension. If the opponent is high enough, this move can be used back to back in a combo.

Saouchi = b+A 65 damage, hits mid, only cancellable into Senpuukon (tap A/C rapidly) and EX Senpuukon (tap A+C rapidly). Billy steps forward and thrusts his staff forward. This works as a great starter for HD combos (i.e. j.C, s.C, b+A, HD...)
