Boxing

Signature: Uninterruptible heavy M2

How to Reroll in GakuranTier ListBeginner Guide

Boxing is widely considered the best overall fighting style in Gakuran — an S-tier pick and the safest reroll target for new and competitive players alike. Its defining strength is an uninterruptible heavy (M2) that lets you bully aggressive opponents.

Why Boxing is S-tier

The core reason Boxing sits at the top of the tier list:

  • Uninterruptible M2 — your heavy attack can't be stopped by incoming light attacks, so you can trade favorably and pressure freely.
  • Strong, simple gameplan — effective at every skill level.
  • Great punish damage — convert reads into big damage with your heavy.

How to play Boxing

Boxing rewards confident, forward pressure:

  1. Throw lights to read the opponent's habit (parry / block / mash).
  2. Spam-safe heavies — your M2 trades through their lights, so use it to interrupt aggression.
  3. Parry mashers, then counter with a light combo.
  4. Guardbreak blockers, then land your M2 for max damage.

Boxing in PvP

In PvP, Boxing is the benchmark style:

  • vs aggressive players — interrupt their approach with M2; they can't stop it.
  • vs blockers — set up guardbreak → heavy.
  • vs parry-heavy players — vary your light count and use the empty-approach bait.

How to get Boxing

Boxing is obtained through the reroll system:

  1. Bank free rerolls from codes.
  2. Reroll Fight Style (menu → Stats → Next → Fight Style → Reroll) until Boxing appears. See the reroll guide.
  3. Stop rerolling once you have it — Boxing is a keeper.

Should you reroll for Boxing?

Yes. If you don't have an S-tier style yet, Boxing is the top target. If you already have Wrestling, Boxing is a lateral S-tier option — pick based on whether you prefer pressure (Boxing) or guardbreak/grab control (Wrestling).
