Normals

---Close---

• cl. A/B/C are cancel-able.
• cl. B hits low.
• Close C is a good punisher that can be used to cancel into f + A, or a Desperation Move.

---

Standing----

• Stand A is cancel-able/whiff cancel-able.
• Stand B is a standing reverse roundhouse that comes out pretty quick. It's good to use in block strings for pressure.
• Stand C has tons of range, and is a good move to use for zoning. It can be used sometimes as an anti-air move depending on the distance of the opponent and the whether the attack can be beat with standing C.
• Stand D deceiving looks like his dp + K move, except Billy stays in place and doesn't shoot up to the air.

---

Crouching----

• cr. A/B/C/D are cancel-able/whiff cancel-able.
• cr. A is a great poke, as the hitbox is rather out there in terms of distance. If the opponent is close enough, the move completely whiffs.
• cr. B is chain-able.
• cr. B can only be blocked low.
• cr. C is a moderately good anti-air if used early enough, it can canceled but only before her arm extends into the air
• cr. D hits attacks twice, but will not combo. Both hits knock down, and will not allow for any further combo potential.

---

Jumping----

• j. C is a great range tool to use when retreating, or just punishing with ranged attacks.
• j. D can be used as a cross up.

(more to be updated)

Blowback Attack

• Billy Kane swings his cane clock-wise. His j. CD attack is rather the same, except the angle of the cane is slightly lower. The use of this with a short hop can allow for good pressure, and can possibly lead to a corner trap, as the move sends the opponent flying.

Throw

Jigoku Otoshi - b/f + C

• Can be broken, regular knockdown.

Ippon Zuri Nage - b/f + D

• Can be broken, reverse knockdown. This throw leaves the opponent close allowing for better mixups.

Command Moves

Dai Kaiten Geri - f + A

• Billy does a short jumping double roundhouse attack. This move not only hits twice, but can easily be used in a small combo or blocked string.

Boutaka Tobigeri: f + B

• Billy does a pole vault, shooting himself forward while doing a flying kick. This move doesn't naturally combo, but if it is a counter hit, it will produce a counter wire, which will allow Billy to combo using several different moves.

Special Moves

San Setsu Kon Chu Dan Uchi - hcf + A/C

• Billy thrusts his cane straight towards the opponent. The cane stretches and hits the opponent.

Kaen - Sansetsu Kon Chuudan Uchi(hcf + A/C) ~ qcf + A/C

• If the hcf + P connects and this move is done afterwards, the end of the cane hits again, causing the opponent to explode. This does not happen if the first move is blocked.

Kyoushuu Hishou Kon - dp + B/D

• Billy does a pole vault that shoots him straight up in the air and off screen. He then comes landing down further than where he started. This is a good move to use in combos, and depending on where the opponent is, this move can be followed with either a Desperation Move, or a Super Desperation Move. The button strength determines the distance traveled. This move also does a considerable amount of both guard and chip damage.

Senpuu Kon - A repeatedly

• Billy spins his cane around like the Color Guard at a football game. This move can combo depending on the conditions of the character, but its not recommended. Hitting the opponent from behind allows for more hits. It can stop certain projectiiles.

Karyuu Tsuigeki Kon - qcb + B

• One of Billy's counters. (More to be updated).

Suiryuu Tsuigeki Kon - qcb + D

• Billy's second counter. This move can be canceled into a Super Desperation Move. (More to be updated).

Suzume Otoshi: qcb + A

• Billy throws his cane in an diagonal up-forward direction. This move is vital, as it can not only be used as an anti-air, but after doing a f, d, df + B/D, Billy can immediately follow up with this move instantly upon landing. This will not work in the corner, however.

Kumo Suzume Otoshi - qcb + C

• Billy throws his stick just like his Suzume Otoshi move, but this time there's an explosion at the end. The hitbox is rather strange with this move, and it also has a slightly slow start up time. This cannot be used to follow up after doing f, d, df, + K.

Desperation Moves

Chou Kaen Senpuu Kon - qcf, hcb + A/C

• Billy Kane spins his cane just like his Senpuu Kon (A rapidly), but it produces a ring of fire that spins for sveral hits. After those several hits, he then throws the ring forward. The ring disappears shortly after, as it doesn't travel that far (it stops at about sweeping distance). This move is great to use in both combos, and when baiting an opponent to tech roll forward.

Dai Senpuu: qcf x2 + A/C

• Billy jumps in the air and slams his cane (which looks like it multiplied) several times to the ground. Somewhat good anti-air to use, but only if the opponent is too far to use anything else (which won't be the case), and there's more than one stock. This move also works as an overhead.

Guren Ayame Kon - qcf x 2 + B/D

• Billy does a Shoryuken like move, while spinning his cane upward in the air. The cane has the ring of fire surrounding it as well. This is a great move to combo with in the corner.

Super Desperation Moves

Dai Senpuu: qcf x 2 + AC

• This SDM is the same has the regular DM, but does more damage and more hits.

HSDM

Liar Elemental - qcb, hcf + BD

• This is a counter super. Billy throws his cane away towards the opponent. If the opponent hits him at any point during this move, Billy then retaliates and does a ranbu combo. If Billy isn't hit, then he shakes his fist. Use this move sparingly.

Combos

• crouching B, crouching B, dp + B, qcb + A
• (in the corner) crouching B, standing B, dp + B, qcf, hcb + A/C or qcf x2 + B/D
• crouching B, crouching B or standing A, f + A
• counter hit f + B, qcb + A or qcf x2 + B/D

Changes from OG2k2

• Billy gains 2 new moves from previous Real Bout Fatal Fury - qcb + A and qcb + C.
• f + B doesn't naturally combo anymore.
