Difficulty	★★☆☆☆ Easy

Billy is the younger brother of Jimmy who accompanied him on many adventures in the city. Billy had feelings for Marian and wanted to confess them to her one night. Unfortunately, before they could meet, one of the rival gangs murdered Marian. Once Jimmy heard of Marian's demise, he cut all ties to his younger brother; blaming Billy for Marian's death. Billy eventually came to terms with the loss of Marian and became a famous street driver and continued his Ryu Zui Ken training. Shortly after, Lynn's grandfather was murdered by the Black Dragon. Sensing an evil dragon, Billy and Lynn set out to find her grandfather's killer.

Billy is a neutral based character that focuses on using his long buttons to keep opponents in check, longer rekka combos and good stun damage. Billy is a good pick if you want a solid character with additional headroom for growth.


Pros	Cons
2B and 5B heave extremely long hitboxes and great frame advantage. High stun combos with 214D (Blue Rage) rekka. 214B (Blue Rage) is safe on block and is abusable as a frame trap. Can also be TK'd for an instant overhead. 236A (Slash Cross) has a huge hitbox and makes it hard for some characters to jump over. 236B/D can catch buttons and lock the opponent into a hitgrab. 623D (Ko Ryu Kyaku) can low profile moves on its first hit. 2141236B/D (Back Slash) and 6B are great anti-air options.	6B overhead can be easily reacted to. Makes it hard to open defensive opponents up. 623B/D slide forward missing the opponent, causing the DP to whiff. 236A is too slow to be used vs fireballs anywhere but fullscreen. You get extra recovery on j.214B/D. Single-wall stun combos are limited to characters with 90 stun or less. Limited combos if you cannot land 214D rekka. 2141246D can sometimes miss the 2nd hit if they're too high.

Movelist

Impact

Both impacts are done by pressing CD, to get an air impact tap up after you hit the opponent!
CD (ground) - A,A,B,C,D
CD (air) - B,A,C,D,D

Command Moves

Axe Kick - 6B

Just a simple overhead axe kick. It's special and super cancelable but has a high start-up so it can be poked out of or even punished on reaction.

Special Moves

Light Slash Cross - 236A > 236A

Billy's Rekka projectile. The timing of the rekka is tight but isn't 1 frame.

Heavy Slash Cross - 236C > 236C

Just like the light version but the first part of the rekka fills the cross out completely. The follow-up launches a short burning projectile that launches the opponent on hit.

Light Ko Ryu-Kyaku - 623B

Fast dp that slides forward a bit.

Heavy Ko Ryu-Kyaku - 623D

This move starts with a low sliding kick into a two-hitting dp. If the low sliding kick whiffs it moves faster into the DP. Hitbox shrinks on the sliding kick as well, can low profile guard cancels and taller moves.

Lightning Tail - 236B/D

This is a hitgrab that launches on hit. Has a tendency to catch stray hurtboxes if the opponent sticks out any buttons that come in contact with the kicks. Completely vulnerable to sweeps and low-hitting moves.

Light Blue Rage - 214B

Single flying kick. Just safe enough on block to use as a frame trap. Can also be done in the air with added recovery.

Heavy Blue Rage - 214D > 214D > 214D

Billy's other rekka that's probably his most used combo tool. If you end the rekka early on the 2nd hit, you can link afterwards. The 3rd hit launches. This move can be done in the air with added recovery.

Super Moves

Back Slash - 2141236B/D

Backward flip into giant blue power geyser. Great anti-air. D version hits twice.
