Is there an official best style?
No official tier list exists. The Roblox game page now lists 14 styles, including Hyakunin and Gurentai. This site’s combat comparison still uses an older 11-style file snapshot, so it cannot rank or simulate the newer styles. A comfortable M1 string beats a rare style you cannot time. MMA has a separate update guide.
Learn the Critical charge bar
Landing hits, taking damage, blocking and being outnumbered build your Critical bar. It drains slowly out of combat. A full bar allows one Critical, and using it empties the bar. The old per-style cooldown rankings no longer predict how often a heavy attack is available.
Rarity is roll difficulty, not strength
A pool rate is shared across the styles inside it. The current official roster lists MMA in Epic, Hyakunin in Legendary and Gurentai in Secret beyond the old comparison table. Current individual probabilities have not been rechecked here. Use the live character sheet before chasing a specific style. A rare roll also does not replace good spacing, defense and timing.
Match the style to your height build
Height changes how any style plays. Tall characters get more health and damage but attack and move more slowly, have larger hitboxes and shorter dashes, which also makes their attacks easier to parry. Short characters trade health and damage for faster attacks, faster cooldowns, smaller hitboxes and longer dashes. Reach matters too: the September 15 update raised Taekwondo’s reported reach from 3.0 to about 5.5 studs. Pick a style whose pace suits your build rather than the rarest one you can roll.
Test a style before you commit rerolls
Open a style’s page and watch its full M1 combo and Critical demonstration before spending. Check whether you like the timing and whether its heavy attack has hyper-armor or a ragdoll effect — some styles do, and that changes how you trade. Then remember that fundamentals decide most beta fights: a clean parry gives Respect and a punish window, dodging spends no stamina, and winning a clash depends on your preceding M1 string. A style you can defend with beats a rarer one you cannot.
