Gokudo updates

Hand-drawn UI, Vampire rebalance & hair hotfix

The game replaced its menus, panels, icons, item rows and emote wheel with a new ink-and-paper interface. Vampire night speed dropped from 1.5× to 1.25×; direct sunlight damage fell from 5 to 2 HP/s. Sway animations were redone and the Critical bar now sounds when full. A same-day follow-up raised White and Pastel Pink hair odds to a stated 0.005 (the post did not give a unit), added an interface-audio setting, and fixed the outfit reroll button and mobile reroll count.

Same-day follow-up ↗

Undo every reroll, new hair colours & dodge timing

Every character reroll now offers Undo, including height and accessories. Eleven hair colours were added; the announcement names Ash Grey, Burnt Orange, Hot Pink, Ice Blue, Liquid Gold and the glowing Neon Halo (around 1 in 250,000). The dye pool's total chance was said to be unchanged. The dodge window increased from 0.22s to 0.28s. A safe-zone edge exploit, rare-roll confirmation skips and a failed early Undo were fixed.

Oni, Yokai & Vampire join the ethnicity pool

Three new Secret ethnicities were announced at 0.01% each. Oni reduces incoming damage by 5% and extends Rage; Yokai has a 25% longer dash, 20% less Critical damage and cannot be healed by lifesteal; Vampire heals 5% of landed hits but takes sunlight damage. Vampire's night speed and daylight damage were rebalanced on September 27. MMA's middle two M1 moves changed to punches. The update also added camera POV settings and phone/controller fixes.

Touchscreen phone & Critical charge bar

The phone gained a touchscreen-style interface, apps, 12 wallpapers, 29 cases and controller navigation. Critical attacks now use a bar earned through combat instead of a fixed cooldown; hits, damage taken, blocking and being outnumbered fill it, while leaving combat drains it. A full bar grants one Critical. Arcade Technician repairs pay ¥260 per repair. Five walk emotes, gifting fixes and a 30-second respawn for broken street weapons were also added.

MMA arrives, arcade jobs & higher wages

Epic MMA launched with 5-stud reach and a defensive matchup against stacked damage bonuses; its M1 sequence was revised on September 25. Sunshine Arcade added Technician and Attendant jobs. Announced base wages rose to ¥1,500 for Chef and ¥1,120 for Server; new roles list ¥1,200 and ¥1,800. Task payments now count separately. Active bounties force the target into PvP until claimed or expired.

Surrender, extra avatars & skateboard skins

After a third knockdown, a Surrender button makes the downed character untouchable and grants +4 Respect. Players start with two free avatars and can add two permanent slots, for four total. Lulu and Bread skateboard skins were added. The patch also fixed finisher clashes, duplicated street props and family ownership confirmation.

Official wiki live, grab revert & family pricing

Developers launched the official Gokudo Wiki on Fandom from game files: 128 outfits, 224 faces, 408 hairstyles, all 11 fighting-style pages, 8 districts, 40 named NPCs and 5 arcade cabinets. Grab reverted to grab-and-punch. Family founding now costs ¥250,000, renaming ¥100,000, extra member slots ¥10,000, starting at 10 seats with a maximum of 50 (¥400,000 to fill). Console can bind A and B; Grab is listed as Middle Click / Y. Rhythm guitar lanes moved to controller shoulders.

Grab minigame, Footwork stat & lag compensation

A colour-prompt grab minigame shipped, then was reverted the next day. Bakuto hitstun walk speed was corrected from 6 to 2.7. Hit rewind moved from 120ms to 200ms and parry compensation from 250ms to 400ms. Footwork is now shown as a comparable perk. House Rules appear once on first join, the server browser colour-codes ping, and bounty amounts sit in red at the front of the title row. A map redesign was posted in sneak-peek later the same day; that is preview media, not a live patch.

Performance update, Arcade Center & Bounties

Preloader work cut to roughly a tenth, rhythm charts now load only when you play a song and several long-session memory leaks were fixed. Plushie and arcade machines moved into an indoor area across the restaurant to the left. Custom bounty amounts were added. Phone conversations can be deleted, and deleting a contact also removes that thread. A 2× Luck event was announced the same evening; check the in-game sheet for whether it is still running.

Sway Dodge & combat feel

Server-authoritative side and back sway, moving M1 hitboxes, adjusted hit stun, reduced knockback and proper Critical cancellation.

Combat reach, height speed & Respect

21 of 40 attacks had short reach corrected; Taekwondo increased from 3.0 to about 5.5 studs. Short-to-tall speed difference increased from 31% to 40%. Bow returns now earn Respect.

Private Server Plus & grab escape

Private Server roleplay/admin controls, a fighting cage, STRUGGLE grab escape and published Critical cooldowns for every style.

Accessory adjustment & actual reroll odds

Gamepass accessory positioning and rotation; the in-game sheet now displays actual pool odds including demographic differences and Double Luck. Staff later noted the Accessory Adjuster gamepass is 50 Robux.

Carry Back & Critical cooldown balance

New duo carry emote, visible respawn protection and minimum eight-second Critical cooldowns across all styles.

Breakable scenery, parry rework & throwable weapons

Latency-aware variable parry windows; Pipe, Trash Bin and Barrel throws; 156 new cosmetics and Secret accessories.
