Gakuran Tier List
Use this community-tracked Gakuran fighting style tier list to decide whether your current style is worth keeping, rerolling, or practicing longer.
Best overall
Boxing
The safest high-tier pick thanks to iFrame pressure, chip damage, and fewer risky openings.
Best burst
Hakari
Momentum Rush can swing a duel fast when you keep clean M1 pressure.
New-style watch
Capoeira
Strong mobility and spacing tools, but current rankings are still split across community sources.
Reroll caution
Do not chase rarity alone
A rare style can still be worse for your timing, height, or risk tolerance.
Editorial Gakuran tier list
This list blends current guide coverage, recent video rankings, and practical PvP roles. Treat it as a decision aid, not an official balance document.
| Tier | Style | Best role | Keep or reroll? | Patch confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Boxing Built around safer heavy pressure, iFrame value, Perfect Reflex uptime, and steady Guard Pierce chip. | Safe pressure | Keep if you want the most reliable PvP climb style. | High |
| S | Hakari Rewards clean M1 strings with a short burst window that can turn one punish into a fight swing. | Burst pressure | Keep if you can start Momentum Rush without getting interrupted. | High |
| A | Capoeira Ginga mobility looks valuable, but the style is new enough that tier takes still vary sharply. | Mobility spacing | Keep if you enjoy movement, dash control, and patient counterplay. | Medium |
| A | Muay Thai A strong pressure style when your spacing is clean, with good posture and chip pressure. | Close pressure | Keep if you like staying in range and forcing block chip. | Medium |
| B | Slugger Unstable damage can overwhelm newer players, but the defensive penalty is painful in even matchups. | Risk reward | Keep only if you accept taking more damage for faster punish wins. | Medium |
| B | Karate Dependable and forgiving, but it lacks the matchup pressure of the best styles. | Balanced fundamentals | Keep while learning parry timing, then reroll when you want a clearer win condition. | Medium |
| B | Wrestling Can be scary in practiced hands, but several rankings treat it as situational rather than top meta. | Grab control | Keep if you are comfortable predicting dodges and timing grapples. | Low |
| C | Basic Good enough for fundamentals, but most players should replace it after they can read fights. | Starter learning | Use it to learn combat, then reroll once you understand spacing. | High |
Community signal snapshot
Current community rankings agree on the top pressure styles more than they agree on new or high-risk picks.
Boxing and Hakari
Strong agreementMultiple fresh rankings place both near the top because they offer reliable pressure or fight-ending burst.
Capoeira tier
Split but risingSome players rate Capoeira as elite because of mobility, while others want more testing before calling it S tier.
Slugger tier
VolatileSlugger earns respect for damage, but the extra damage taken makes it harder to recommend as a universal keep.
Wrestling tier
Matchup-dependentGrab control can win fights, but it needs better reads than safer pressure styles.

Best fighting style in Gakuran for beginners
Boxing is the easiest strong recommendation for most new PvP players because it gives clear pressure, safer heavy timing, and useful defensive rewards. If you already like aggressive combo routes, Hakari is the better long-term burst pick. If you are still learning spacing, keep Basic or Karate long enough to understand blocks, dashes, and punish windows before spending more rerolls.
Pick by playstyle, not just tier
The best style is the one that matches how you win fights. Use these roles before rerolling a style that may already fit you.
Mobility
Capoeira
Choose it when dash cooldown, spacing resets, and movement baiting matter more than raw burst.
Pressure
Boxing or Muay Thai
Choose these when you want to keep opponents blocking, parrying, or backing up.
Burst
Hakari
Choose it when you can protect Momentum Rush and cash out a clean opening.
Risk reward
Slugger
Choose it only when you are comfortable winning quickly or losing quickly.
Patch confidence notes
Gakuran style rankings can shift quickly after balance changes, new showcases, or better frame-data testing.

- Boxing and Hakari are high confidence because several fresh rankings agree that they are top pressure picks.
- Frame-data links will be added after a dedicated /frame-data page exists and move values are testable.
- Any style can win if your spacing, parry timing, height choice, and matchup reads are better than your opponent's.
Gakuran tier list FAQ
- What is the best fighting style in Gakuran?
- Boxing is the safest all-around recommendation right now, while Hakari is the strongest burst pick if you can keep pressure clean. Both are commonly ranked at the top in current community tier lists.
- Is Capoeira S tier in Gakuran?
- Capoeira has S-tier mobility potential, but its overall tier is still debated because the style is new and different sources disagree. This page places it in A tier with medium confidence until more testing settles the ranking.
- Is Slugger worth keeping in Gakuran?

- No. This is an editorial, community-tracked tier list built from current public rankings and practical PvP roles. Treat official Roblox or creator notes as higher authority for balance changes.
