## Personality

While Billy cannot be considered a "good guy", he is not an "evil" man; his criminal career is motivated more by a desire to make easy money and his respect for Geese Howard than actual malice. His softer side is often shown when he's with his sister Lilly or friends Eiji Kisaragi and Blue Mary; even his hatred for Terry Bogard has softened to be much more of a rivalry.

While his hatred of Terry Bogard may have softened over the years, Billy has a deep hatred for Iori Yagami. During the ending of *The King of Fighters '95*, Iori beat both Billy and Eiji Kisaragi to near death and then abandoned them. Billy is also very bitter towards Joe Higashi, who took a liking to his sister, of whom he is quite protective.

## Fighting style

Billy fights with a three sectional staff that he somehow can ignite with fire and can be split into three parts connected with a chain. He uses Bojutsu as his primary art, but he may also know some Kung Fu moves in order to use his Three Section Staff.

In ***Fatal Fury: King of Fighters***, Billy can lose his staff by hurling it at the opponent after executing his Senpuu Kon. Once he does this, he will cower in fear before the player character leaving him vulnerable until he is thrown another staff by one of Geese's henchmen in the background. The player can prevent them from assisting him. In *KOF '95*, he drops his staff only when knocked out. He enters the same stance in *KOF 2002* for his MAX2DM/HSDM, where it is named *Liar Elemental* (as it is meant to be a counterattack that takes advantage of such a state).
