| intro = At first glance, Billy Kane still looks like he dominates the mid-range game. However in this game Billy is a read-based character that forces knowledge check situations and has to capitalize on them with meter. Most of his important attacks are slow to start or have a lot of recovery and due to big hurtboxes they are prone to losing out or trading. The new cornerstone of his game is finding enough space to s.CD and play off of that. You need a lot of game knowledge and awareness on opponent tendencies to make the best use of your limited tools. For now he is considered to be one of the weakest characters in the game and for good reason. This may change in later patches. He can still work in specific cases.

| pros= * '''Great Shatter Strike:''' Billy's Shatter Strike is one of the best Shatter Strikes in the game. It has long reach and is even faster than his s.CD (the move which the animation is based on). With enough meter you can inflict 400-600 damage to turn the round and while Shatter Strike is universally punishable on block, depending on the matchup, the spacing/pushback will save you most of the time. Very strong tool against air approaches and oppressive corner pressure too.

Most importantly 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.

* '''Unpopular:''' Whether it's due to Billy's status as a bad character or just his 'annoying and loud' character design Billy is not a popular character at the moment. This means a lot of people aren't aware of his options and weaknesses. You can exploit the lack of knowledge and mostly play your own game if they let you. Eg. if you space a 6A on block from tip range your next s.CD will dodge a lot of pokes landing you a full combo on successful hit.

You absolutely are gambling with your life on almost every swing. Even one of his best moves, the Shatter Strike, depends on a read. His moves have a lot of weaknesses, but they also do work well in certain scenarios. For example landing a counterhit j.CD can almost always be converted by 6B unlike most of the cast in this game (rewards for CH j.CD are generally lower). Said 6B also works excellently as an anti-projectile move.

* '''Limited combos:''' Billy's combos are quite rigid. Most moves will only work once during a combo and you need to follow the same structure with little flexibility. In addition to that the pushbacks and spacings affect them greatly. For instance you might miss the Climax cancel due to not landing close enough after 236236K.

* '''Meter-reliant:''' Somewhat in conjunction with the previous point, Billy's low meter combos are lackluster without specific conditions like a heavy reversal punish near the corner. He needs at least 2 bars and preferably more to make most of his turns count. He's also quite bad at building meter due to his risky gameplay.

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

At first glance, Billy Kane still looks like he dominates the mid-range game. However, in this game Billy is a read-based character that forces knowledge check situations and has to capitalize on them with meter. Most of his important attacks are slow to start or have a lot of recovery and due to big hurtboxes they are prone to losing out or trading. The new cornerstone of his game is finding enough space to s.CD and play off of that. You need a lot of game knowledge and awareness on opponent tendencies to make the best use of your limited tools. For now, he is considered to be one of the weakest characters in the game and for good reason. This may change in later patches. He can still work in specific cases.
Pros Cons
  • Great Shatter Strike: Billy's Shatter Strike is one of the best Shatter Strikes in the game. It has long reach and is even faster than his s.CD (the move which the animation is based on). With enough meter you can inflict 400-600 damage to turn the round and while Shatter Strike is universally punishable on block, depending on the matchup, the spacing/pushback will save you most of the time. Very strong tool against air approaches and oppressive corner pressure too.

Most importantly 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.

  • Can go over some lows, not recommended.

  • A somewhat risky and duckable launcher. Thankfully doesn't whiff for long so your opponent must be on point too.
  • A main combo tool for Billy since you can convert from both s.CD and counterhit j.CD and is also the preferred option from a close heavy.
  • Has low invulnerability and general evasiveness (goes over King's fireball without having any projectile invul).
  • While it easily goes over Terry's fireball, it may also whiff due to Terry crouching but if you recognize the situation you might get an even bigger punish with 2C.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Anti-air that only hits airborne opponents (that includes moves such as Terry's Burn Knuckle).
  • A version is fast but recovers slowly and has no follow-ups (unless it trades, in which case you can juggle with "6B > 623B > Super" etc)
  • EX is as fast as A version, but lets you juggle after even without trading.

  • Better damage than 236236K, but mostly combos in the corner.
  • While on paper it's -14 on block the pushback will require specific punishes from your opponent which means you will sometimes escape unscathed.
  • It's possible to Advance/Climax cancel this move too early, aim for the last hit where he sends it out to get max damage.
