Gakuran Guide (Styles, Tutorial, Tips & Tricks, Locations, Controls) ROBLOX

Storyline / Objectives

• No fixed objectives at the moment—players can roleplay, explore, socialize, and fight freely.
• The guide suggests this may change in the future, but for now the experience is largely player-driven.

How to Start / Character Setup

• Join the required group, then join Gekkeran.
• Create your character by choosing:
  • Name
  • Gender
• Character customization includes randomization based on population statistics:
  • Character height and ethnicity are generated relative to demographic averages.
• You can reroll certain traits:
  • Height traits (e.g., make yourself taller/shorter)
  • Ethnicity (with a small chance of differing from the dominant population outcome)
• Rerolls cost Robux.

Ethnicity Outcome Notes

• ~95% chance to be Japanese
• ~5% combined chance for other ethnicities (European, African, Middle Eastern, Latin, Indian, etc.)

Height Generation Notes

• Height is weighted around each ethnicity/gender’s average, meaning near-average results are more common.

Height System (Gameplay Impact)

• Taller characters
  • Deal more damage
  • Have more health
  • Larger hitboxes
  • But move and attack slower
• Shorter characters
  • Faster attacks
  • More speed
  • Faster cooldowns
  • Smaller hitboxes
  • But lower health and damage
• Health differences are described as minor except at extreme heights.
• Base health example:
  • Normal height = 100 HP

Basic Gameplay & Combat Controls

Fighting Toggle

• Press T to enable/toggle your fighting stance.

Light Attacks (M1)

• Use M1 by tapping or holding to perform up to a 4-hit combo.
• Combo resets after a short time with no attacks.
• The 4th last M1 can produce a knockback kick.

Heavy Attacks (M2)

• Use M2 for heavy attacks.
• Heavy attacks deal ~2x damage compared to a single M1.
• M2 cannot be blocked—it must be parried (or avoided via dodge/positioning).

Evasive Dodge

• Very short cooldown.
• Grants i-frames (brief invulnerability) to:
  • dodge incoming attacks
  • reposition

Defense Systems: Posture, Blocking, Parrying

Posture (Stamina) System

• Posture = stamina
• Used for:
  • sprinting duration
  • blocking capacity (how many attacks you can block before guard breaks)
• Both sprinting and blocking drain posture.
• If posture runs out, you become vulnerable.
• Blocking with low posture can cause you to get guard broken on impact.
• Note: Posture isn’t required for perfect block.

Perfect Block (Parry)

• Parrying is described as a perfect-timed block.
• If your timing is within the parry window and you’re facing the attacker, you get a perfect block instead of normal blocking.
• Effects of a successful parry:
  • No damage
  • No posture loss
  • Minimal/none “chip” behavior
  • It stuns the attacker, letting you follow up with combos

Guard Breaks / Stuns

• Guard break (block broken):
  • You take full guard break damage
  • You get stunned for ~2 seconds
  • You do not take block chip damage on guard breaks
• M2 always breaks blocks, so you must:
  • parry it, or
  • dodge/avoid it, or
  • interrupt before it lands
• M1 can also contribute to breaking a guard if posture is sufficiently drained.

Block Chip & Guard Pierce (Style Stat)

• Each combat style has a block chip percentage.
• Guard pierce perk controls how much damage passes through a block.

Example (from the video):

• Style with Guard Pierce 1 (10% chip): 5 damage becomes 0.5

• Style with Guard Pierce 4 (25% chip): 5 damage becomes 1.25

• The guide claims Wrestling is the strongest/“broken” style (encouraged if possible).

Grappling Mechanic (Key Highlight)

• Grapples happen when both fighters attack nearly at the same time (light vs light, or light vs heavy) and their attacks clash.
• During a grapple:
  • Fighters lock/clench in place.

Who Wins?

• The player who swings first (slightly earlier timing) generally wins.
• Winner shoves the loser with reduced damage (~-50%).

Grapple Chance

• Grapple chance depends on defender’s style resilience (example given):
  • Example: Karate has Resilience II, stated as 25% chance.
• If the simultaneous clash occurs and the timing favors the attacker, the defender may still “roll” based on their resilience.
• If the defender’s roll fails, the attacker’s M1 lands normally.

Locations / World Activities (Non-combat)

The game is described as a Japanese school-life social game with fighting. Areas/activities mentioned include:

• Basketball
• Coffee shop
• 7-Eleven
• Gas station

• Fitness center (practice PvP or hang out)

• General recommendation: explore and travel between many areas.

Key Tips Mentioned

• You don’t need complex combo mastery—focus on:
  • understanding M1/M2
  • using parries
  • using dodge/i-frames
• Since M2 can’t be blocked, prepare to parry or evade heavy attacks.
• Learn grappling timing: slightly earlier swings can decide the grapple outcome.
• Consider aiming for Wrestling for its claimed advantage.
