The Dated Record
| Date | Update | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| August 2026 | Content wave (v7.856 era) | Three styles added: Ali, Wing Chun, and Striker. An August 22 patch cut Wing Chun’s crit damage by 20% — the one published patch number from that month, per the official card transcriptions. |
| September 5, 2026 | Giant update (v8.200) | Two new fighting styles: Mishima and Lethwei — plus the DEMAE delivery system and Club Akuma with its three new jobs. The meta reshuffled: Boxing fell from July’s S-tier. |
| September 19, 2026 | v9.00 | Two more styles per the official Trello update card: Jin (Secret band) and Dragon Maid (Legendary band). |
| September 26, 2026 | QOL Update #3 | An optimization pass — character culling, hair physics, net physics — per the Trello-based official guide. The QOL3 code (67 Rerolls) dropped with it, tested working by IGN on September 27. |
| By October 6, 2026 | Code drop (pity era) | PITY (20 Rerolls) and GAKURANCOMEBACK (40 Rerolls) were live per Lotkeys’ October 6 list; PITYFIXED followed. Community guides tie this window to a pity system joining the game — no official note and no exact date are on record. |
| October 20–22, 2026 | Gakuween (Halloween update) | Halloween event content — quests, collectible tokens, unlockable accessories — community-reported. The GAKUWEEN code (67 Rerolls plus a Yen bonus — IGN prints 670, GamesRadar 6,700; conflict noted) was live at IGN’s October 22 check; QOL4 (67 Rerolls + 1,000 Yen per GamesRadar) was live around October 20–21 and expired by IGN’s October 22 check. The official Roblox game page’s updated stamp reads October 22, 2026. |
All six style additions above are visible in the fighting styles list with their rarity bands and “no kit breakdown published” caveats. No October update through Gakuween has been reported to add a fighting style — the roster at 19 styles is still the full pool on record.
Before This Record
The game’s launch era is not dated on this page because no official update cards from July have been reviewed — what exists is the tier arc: July sources had Boxing as the unanimous S-tier and Kure in B, and the August content wave (Ali, Wing Chun, Striker) set up the September reshuffle that v8.200 and v9.00 completed. The tier list carries that comparison in full.
Why the Record Is Still Skeletal
Gakuran’s update communication does not follow the patch-notes convention of games like The Magus Circle (whose 1.1 update ships full change lists): the confirmed channels are the Trello-based official guide’s update cards and the Roblox game page, and neither has published a full change list for the updates above in sources reviewed. This page will not reconstruct balance changes from tier-list shifts alone — a style falling in the tiers is evidence the meta moved, not a documented change.
What Each Update Actually Changed (Observable Only)
- August wave: the style pool grew by three, and one published number exists — Wing Chun’s August 22 crit-damage cut of 20%.
- September 5 (v8.200): the style pool grew by two, two new systems landed (DEMAE, Club Akuma’s three jobs), and the September tier consensus moved Boxing down — the observable consequences, per the tier list’s dated comparisons.
- v9.00: the style pool grew by two more, including a Secret-band style — which matters for reroll odds only once its roll rate is published.
- QOL Update #3: no combat-facing change on record — the optimization targets (culling, hair physics, net physics) are performance-side, per the official guide.
- Early October: if the community attribution is right, the reroll economy itself changed — a pity floor for unlucky streaks. Unverified: no official source documents it, and the odds published on this site’s styles list are the September baseline that predates it.
- Gakuween: an event layer (quests, tokens, accessories) per community reports — cosmetic and seasonal, with no fighting-style or combat-system addition reported through October 22.
What the Record Still Lacks
Full change lists for every update above; the pity system’s thresholds (or official confirmation it exists); official content notes for Gakuween; and whether QOL4 belonged to its own update or shipped alongside Gakuween — the code’s live window straddles the two. The July-to-October meta arc the tier list currently summarizes in one line stays one line until official notes land, and this page keeps growing the dated table rather than guessing at what the updates contained.
Sources
Dates, version numbers, and style additions: the official Trello board’s update cards, via the Trello-based official guide the controls guide, tier list, and codes page defer to — no board URL is published on this site. September 5’s non-style additions: the DEMAE and Club Akuma trackers. QOL3’s contents and code reward: the codes page’s verified lines (IGN tested September 27, 2026). October code drops: Lotkeys (October 6, 2026 list), GamesRadar (October 20–21, 2026), and IGN (October 22, 2026 check). Gakuween’s event contents: community clip guides (checked October 24, 2026) — community-reported, not official. The October 22 updated stamp: the official Gakuran game page (checked October 24, 2026). No full patch notes exist in sources reviewed.
