Billy - Team South Town
Get Straight
Intro
Among his current teammates, Billy Kane boasts the longest tenure in The King of Fighters series. He made his striking debut back in KOF 95, famously teaming up with Iori Yagami and Eiji Kisaragi. Originally a cornerstone of the Fatal Fury franchise, Billy is best known as the right-hand man and the most fiercely loyal subordinate to Geese Howard.
KOF XV marks a historic milestone as Billy officially teams up with Geese for the very first time in a tournament roster. As one of the few fighters who competes using a specialized weapon, Billy utilizes his masterful three-section staff techniques and pyrokinesis to dominate the arena. His ability to control space with long-range strikes makes him a unique and formidable threat on any battlefield.
Features
The three-section staff is the definitive hallmark of Billy Kane’s combat identity. By utilizing his weapon’s extraordinary reach, he gains a massive tactical advantage, keeping opponents at bay and preventing them from closing the distance easily. However, Billy is far from defenseless at close range; he can unleash high-speed, flame-imbued rotations of his staff to punish any foe daring enough to get too close.
Billy is an exceptional choice for players who thrive on zoning and poke-heavy strategies. By maintaining a disciplined pace and controlling the battlefield with patience, players can systematically dismantle their opponents' defense, proving that superior reach combined with fiery precision is a recipe for victory.
