Gakuran Capoeira verdict

Strong mobility pickA-tier watchMedium confidence

Capoeira looks good when you win through movement, range resets, and patient counterplay. Current public sources disagree on whether it is S tier or a high-skill A-tier style, so treat the ranking as community-tracked rather than official.

Keep Capoeira if you enjoy baiting whiffs, dashing around block pressure, and using the heavy ragdoll to reset spacing.
Consider rerolling only if you want safer pressure, easier burst, or a style that does not ask you to manage movement every exchange.

Reported rarity

Legendary

Several fresh community lists mark Capoeira as Legendary, but official in-game text should outrank third-party labels.

Key passive

Ginga

Repeated guide coverage reports 25% shorter dash cooldown, though exact wording should still be checked in-game.

PvP role

Mobility spacing

Capoeira wants to move first, punish panic swings, and reset range instead of forcing every trade.

Best fit

Average to tall

Tall builds make the kick range scarier, while average builds keep more speed and are easier to learn.

Passives and playstyle identity

Public Capoeira notes repeat the same core package: Ginga mobility, chip pressure, modest guardbreak help, and a ragdoll heavy. Use these as community notes until official text is confirmed in-game.

Passive or toolReported effectWhat it changes
GingaDash cooldown is reported as 25% shorter.Lets Capoeira reposition more often, escape linear pressure, and force opponents to chase bad angles.
Heavy Hitter IAdds a small guardbreak damage bonus to M1 and M2 pressure.Rewards repeated contact, but it does not turn Capoeira into a pure damage style by itself.
Guard Pierce IICurrent lists commonly describe 15% block chip damage.Makes defensive opponents pay a little for blocking while you reset movement and timing.
Ragdoll heavyM2 is described as ragdolling the target on hit.Best used to break rhythm and regain spacing; do not assume it always confirms long follow-up combos.

Best Capoeira build and height notes

The safest Capoeira build advice is to match height to how you plan to create openings. Height systems are community-tested and update-sensitive, so use this as planning context instead of a fixed stat formula.

For most players, average-to-tall is the safer Capoeira direction. Do not spend Robux chasing height changes unless the current in-game prompt clearly confirms what will reroll.

Average height

Best learning setup

Average builds keep Capoeira mobile without making your attack speed feel too heavy. Start here if you are still learning spacing, parries, and dash timing.

Tall build

Best reach setup

Tall builds make Capoeira kicks and ragdoll pressure feel more threatening, but the larger hitbox and slower rhythm punish sloppy movement.

Short build

High-skill movement setup

Short builds can feel fast, but some Capoeira pressure loses reach. Pick it only if you already win through dodges, baiting, and tight counterattacks.

Strengths and weaknesses

Capoeira is strongest when movement turns into a punish. It feels weaker when the opponent refuses to chase, blocks patiently, or forces you to spend dash at bad times.

Strengths

  • Excellent mobility for spacing resets and angle changes.
  • Ginga makes it harder for slow pressure styles to pin you down.
  • Ragdoll heavy can interrupt tempo and help you disengage.
  • Chip and guardbreak notes give it pressure even when opponents block.

Weaknesses

  • Lower direct burst than Hakari-style punish windows.
  • Movement mistakes are expensive because the style depends on spacing.
  • Shorter builds may lose the reach that makes Capoeira scary.
  • Patient opponents can wait out dash patterns instead of chasing.

How to counter Capoeira in Gakuran

Do not fight Capoeira like a stationary brawler. The goal is to make the Capoeira player spend movement first, then punish the recovery or predictable return angle.

1

Hold center space

Avoid chasing every sidestep. Keep a useful angle and make Capoeira come back into your range.

2

Track dash timing

Ginga shortens cooldown, but it does not remove recovery or decision-making. Punish repeated dash-out and dash-back habits.

3

Respect chip, not panic

Guard Pierce II creates chip pressure, but panic parries give Capoeira bigger openings. Block, reposition, then answer cleanly.

4

Prepare for the ragdoll heavy

Do not swing blindly after Capoeira resets spacing. Watch for the heavy timing and punish whiffs or obvious approach lines.

Community vote snapshot

Capoeira coverage is fresh and split. Some sources rate the style near the top because of mobility, while others frame it as a demanding spacing pick rather than a free win.

Source confidence and risk notes

This guide separates reported Capoeira facts from community interpretation because the style is new and balance opinions are moving quickly.

  • Tier placement is community-tracked and should not be treated as an official Gakuran rating.
  • The Ginga dash cooldown and passive names repeat across fresh guides, but official in-game wording has priority.
  • Height advice is based on public combat testing and may change if the game adjusts reach, speed, or reroll systems.
  • Counterplay notes focus on practical PvP habits rather than guaranteed matchup wins.
