Gakuran CQC Guide: Moves, Damage, and Counters

CQC is a close-range fighting style in Roblox’s Gakuran. According to the available Gakuran CQC Fighting Style, Explained showcase, it rewards short, aggressive play, careful M1 timing, and using the critical attack to punish movement.

The video is a player test rather than an official patch note. The percentages, timing observations, and matchup advice below are therefore a gameplay snapshot and may change. For broader style comparisons, see the Gakuran fighting styles guide.

Gakuran CQC Overview

The linked showcase reports the following CQC traits:

The source does not provide CQC’s unlock method, rarity, price, or official stat sheet.

CQC M1 and Crit Mechanics

The showcase gives several hands-on observations about CQC’s basic attack chain and crit:

• M1 speed: The player describes CQC’s M1 string as slower than Wing Chun, while still having ordinary fighting-style range.
• M1 timing: The M1s appear to have separate timing windows. The third M1 seemed to last the longest in the test, although no frame data was provided.
• Crit indicator: The circle shown around the crit is described as an aura, not the attack’s exact hit range. Do not assume that the edge of the circle is the true hitbox.
• NPC test: In the showcase’s NPC demonstration, the player says a target can take up to about five crits. This is a test result, not a universal current kill count.

Learning the rhythm between M1s and the crit is important. Mistiming the attack can leave CQC vulnerable, especially against a player who understands the openings. Use the current Gakuran Roblox controls reference when practicing inputs, but verify any timing that depends on the live game version.

How to Play CQC

Based on the linked player test, CQC works best when you use pressure without standing still:

1. Use the recommended short build. The showcase specifically favors a short, aggressive character build for CQC.
2. Get close before committing to damage. The reported close-range bonus gives you a reason to fight inside the opponent’s space rather than relying on long-distance approaches.
3. Practice the M1 rhythm. Pay attention to the longer-looking third-M1 window and avoid treating every part of the string as having identical timing.
4. Use the crit to answer movement. The player demonstrates using CQC’s crit when an opponent dashes or attempts a crit of their own.
5. Keep moving between attacks. The showcase repeatedly uses movement to make the opponent chase, then responds with another attack when the opponent commits.
6. Treat the anti-team effect as conditional. The reported bonus against multiple attackers may help in group fights, but the source does not establish exactly how many opponents are required or whether the effect stacks.

CQC’s reported bonuses encourage close pressure, but the style still depends on spacing and timing. Running directly into every attack can make the reported advantages difficult to use.

How to Counter Gakuran CQC

The clearest counterplay shown in the source is to avoid CQC’s crit rather than fight inside its effective range.

• Create distance before the crit connects. The player says that running away from the crit is the most reliable answer observed in the test.
• Do not use the circle as the exact range indicator. Since the circle is described as an aura, judge the attack by its actual connection rather than by the visual edge alone.
• Use a well-timed perfect parry when your style allows it. The showcase specifically identifies Wing Chun as a style that was able to perfect-parry the CQC crit. This is a player observation, not a guaranteed current matchup result.
• Avoid trading at point-blank range. CQC’s reported close-range bonus and clinch effect make a direct close-range exchange more favorable for the CQC user.
• Test the interaction in the current build. Balance and timing can change, so confirm the counter in a practice fight before relying on it in a serious match.

See the Gakuran Wing Chun guide for more information about the style named as a counter in the showcase.
