 * Down Throw: Bill slams the opponent into the ground, then rolls back and throws a grenade at them.
 * Neutral Special - Homing Missile: Bill fires a single missile that homes in on the closest opponent at medium range. You can hold down the button to aim where you want to shoot the missile, especially while you're in the air. The missiles are also able to make projectiles fall upon getting hit with a missile. If it hits a flame projectile, the explosion is twice the size.
 * Custom 1 - Crusher Missile: Bill fires a small blue missile forward which deals moderate damage but can't home in on the opponent.
 * Custom 2 - Flame Gun: Bill fires a stream of flames from his flamethrower as long as the button is held. Works similar to Bowser's and Charizard's Neutral Specials.
 * Side Special - Laser Gun: Bill fires a laser that does multiple hits upon direct contact. Tapping the button again upon firing makes a laser stop at close range.
 * Custom 1 - Ripple Laser: Bill fires a circular blue laser forward that grows in size as it moves. A projectile is weak, but hard to avoid.
 * Custom 2 - Dash: Bill does a quick dash, covering a moderate distance and allows him to reset his spacing between him and opponents. Same as Fox's Side Special.
 * Up Special - Spread Gun: Bill somersaults upward into the air while he shoots in 5 different directions diagonally downwards as he spins mid-air.
 * Custom 1 - Grappling Hook: Bill fires a grappling hook from his gun upwards to recover back to the stage or grab aerial opponents to reel them to him for attacks.
 * Custom 2 - Copter Lift: Bill grabs onto a rope and goes up with a helicopter. You can move the copter around with the control stick while moving Bill with the d-pad. While he's on the rope, you can press the "B" button to deploy grenades that are like Snake's. If anyone hits the helicopter blades above, they'll obviously take damage. Press "A" to get off a helicopter.
 * Down Special - Barrier: Bill deploys a barrier around him which absorbs projectiles for a short period of time. There's a cooldown time afterwards before he can use it again.
 * Custom 1 - Rapid Gun: Bill upgrades his weapons that it's projectiles travel faster than before for a short period of time.
 * Custom 2 - Upgrade: Bill's gun can now fire a second stream of bullets, lasers are faster & thicker and don't disappear when you press the button. His homing gun allows Bill to fire an another missile by pressing the button after shooting a first missile. If Bill got KO'd, he will lost upgrades.
 * Final Smash - Red Eagle: Bill says "I've got something for you." as he grapples off the stage, dropping a eagle-like smart bomb on his way out, which emits a large and powerful mushroom cloud explosion upon landing which damages opponents who are caught in it's blast radius. Bill then drops back to the stage afterwards.
