Gakuran Capoeira Style: Longest Range, Ginga and the B-Tier Trap
Capoeira owns Gakuran's longest range but loses when someone closes: the Ginga dash perk, official tall build, 0.20% odds, and the rarity-is-not-tier lesson.

What Is the Capoeira Style in Gakuran?
Capoeira is the acrobat’s pick: dance-blended movement, lightning-fast kicking sequences, and the longest range of any style in the game. The September 2026 tier consensus ranks it B-tier and uses it as the roster’s standing lesson — Capoeira sits in the same Legendary band as Kure but loses to anyone who closes the distance. Rare is not strong; Capoeira is the exhibit.
| Quick fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Legendary — 0.20% per roll in the September full list |
| Tier | B (September 2026 consensus) |
| Perks | 4 per the official card — one part of the kit disputed between transcriptions |
| Official height | Tall, around 6’0” / 183 cm or taller |
| Heavy attack | Knockdown kick — 12s base cooldown |
Capoeira’s Perks — and the Transcription Dispute
The official card was transcribed in July (checked July 13, 2026) with four perks; the community wiki’s Capoeira page lists a different set. Both agree on the dash perk; the rest is on the record as disputed rather than silently merged:
| Perk (official card, July) | Community wiki’s list |
|---|---|
| Powerful — M2 hits knock the opponent down (ragdoll) | Rhythmic Flow — +25% passive evasion window while moving sideways |
| Heavy Hitter I — +5% damage on guardbreak hits | Acrobatic Recovery — flip back to your feet fast, cutting knockdown recovery in half |
| Guard Pierce II — 15% block chip damage | Ginga Evasion — dash cooldown 25% quicker than normal |
| Ginga — dash cooldown reduced by 25% | — |
Both sources describe the same style from the outside — constant movement, hard-to-track kicks, a guard-smashing heavy — so the disagreement is which perks carry it. Until one transcription is verified in game, this page prints both. What is not in dispute: Ginga’s 25% dash-cooldown cut is the signature, and it pairs with the controls guide’s dodge (Q) to make Capoeira the hardest style in the game to pin down — at range.
Is Capoeira Worth Chasing?
For most reroll budgets, no — 0.20% Legendary odds buy a mid-table kit with a hard counter pattern, and the tier list names cheaper styles that carry harder. But the niche is real: against opponents who refuse to close, Capoeira’s range and dash economy win fights on geometry alone, and the community Mishima notes name disciplined Capoeira play among the things that whiff-punish the new meta pick. It is a specialist’s style at a generalist’s price — claim the free Rerolls first and read the reroll guide before deciding that specialist is you.
Capoeira FAQ
Why does the tier list keep using Capoeira as the 'rarity is not tier' example?
Because the contrast is within one band: Kure and Capoeira both roll at 0.20% Legendary, yet September consensus puts Kure S and Capoeira B. Same odds, three tiers apart — the cleanest proof on the board that the fighting styles list’s rarity bands rank scarcity, not strength.
How do you beat a Capoeira player?
Close the distance and stay there. The kit’s damage lives at kick range, so walk through the spacing pressure — blocking the kicks costs Posture they want you to waste — and fight the inside game where the mobility perks mean least. The parry guide covers the timing you need on the way in.
Capoeira vs Kure — same odds, which one?
Kure, for almost everyone: a fully documented five-perk pressure kit versus a disputed-perk spacing kit two tiers lower — the Kure guide has the numbers side by side. Pick Capoeira only if range-dancing is the fantasy you are rerolling for.
