Sadly I don't have any artistic skills to be able to mock this up, but I really want a new Billy parry animation! With how much his kit is so melee reliant it feels weird he hasn't been given a proper one already
Currently his parry animation is this little crouch down where he protects his head, which while Billy does have a tendency to show small bits of vulnerability or fear here and there, it never comes up during combat, just in voice lines. The bat also weirdly clips through him a bit.
My dream parry animation would be him stepping one foot back and bringing his head forward with his teeth grit prepping for the strike, using his horns to parry much more like a real goat fighting with their horns. As for the movement of his hands I think it'd be fun if they were spread to each side, clutching his bat and SMG ready to mutilate whoever falls into his horns and gets gored.
Overall I ADORE Billy, one of my favorite characters of all time! I love the little bits of niceness he has with characters like Bebop, the rare moments of vulnerability in his lines, and the all too often misguided punk struggling to change the world without a damn clue of what to do. I think a new parry animation is really all I'd want for Billy to become the genuine G.O.A.T for me.
