Gakuran Tier List
Where each fighting style sits right now, and why. These rankings are community-informed and patch-dependent — use them as a starting point, not gospel. Your skill moves you up more than your tier does.

S
Muay Thai
Best range-to-power ratio; controls neutral and punishes approaches with little setup.
A
Boxing
Fast, forgiving and always relevant in the scramble; loses only on raw range.
B
Hakari
Highest ceiling but least consistent — rewards mastery, punishes mistakes.
How we rank
- Neutral control (how easily the style wins spacing)
- Consistency (how reliably it works in even matchups)
- Ease of use (how punishing it is to learn)
Community-informed rankings — your mileage varies with skill and patch.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Gakuran tier list official?
No. It is a community-informed ranking based on observed strengths and matchups, and it shifts with patches. We label it as observed and date every update.
Does style choice matter more than skill?
No. Weaving, spacing and movement decide most fights. A strong tier pick on weak fundamentals still loses.
