Master Perfect Blocking
Timing your block (F) exactly when an attack lands creates a counter-attack window. This is the single most important combat skill. Practice in the gym against NPCs first.
Use Dash to Create Space
Q dash is not just for dodging — use it to create distance when pressured, or to reposition during combos. Dash → M1 combo is a core PvP pattern.
Learn Guard Break Patterns
Wrestling's Takedown passive is unblockable. If you're fighting a wrestler, focus on dodging rather than blocking their grapple moves.
Combo Extension with Heavy
M1 → M1 → M1 → R (Heavy) is a bread-and-butter combo. Mix in dashes to extend combos further. Capoeira's Flow State makes this even more powerful.

Don't Reroll Too Early
Save your rerolls until you understand the combat system. Your first few rerolls should be for fighting style, not ethnicity.

PvP Strategy
Key tips for pvp strategy in Gakuran.
Fight in the Gym First
Practice against NPCs in the gym before fighting other players. NPCs have predictable patterns that help you learn timing.
Height is King in PvP
A shorter character with a small hitbox has a massive advantage in PvP. Consider rerolling for a shorter height range.
Match Style to Height
Capoeira + short height = speed monster. Wrestling + tall height = grapple tank. Boxing works at any height but shines on medium builds.
Use the Environment
Fight near objects you can grab with V (carry). Throwing objects at opponents deals bonus damage and can interrupt combos.
