At A Glance
Shigaku combat is compact hallway melee: equip a style, trade hits against visible HP, crit to knock down, then optionally carry someone to a locker. Safe zones disable fighting. Place 109329896664198. Verified September 28, 2026.
Gym training makes hits harder. Getting tagged can lock workouts until combat drops — plan lifts around fights, not during them.
| Piece | Confirmed | Still TBA |
|---|---|---|
| Start fight | T equip Fighting Style | Exact aggro / team rules |
| Defense | F block (listing + recaps) | Parry window frames |
| Knockdown | R critical | Damage numbers |
| Follow-up | C carry downed player | Escape / wiggle values |
| Removal | Locker stuff (gameplay recaps) | All locker coordinates |
| Grip | G on listing | Whether G is a finisher |
How do I win Shigaku fights?
Hold F through their combo if the recap pattern holds, then R when you need them on the floor. Dash (Q in recaps) is for entry/exit — confirm on your HUD. Unequip if you need to break a fight and run class or gym rules.
Power comes from gym
If equal-kit trades always lose, you are undertrained. Gym is the damage lever public recaps actually name.
Lift if trades lose

When do I carry someone to a locker?
C is Carry on the official listing. Recaps pick up a downed student, then stuff a locker to remove them from the brawl. It is a sandbox gag and a tempo tool — not a ranked mode rulebook.
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| Confirm they are downed | Carry in a safe zone (expect it to fail) |
| Path to a visible locker | Assume every map has the same locker count |
| Use it to reset a 1v2 | Grief AFK classmates as your whole session |
What are Shigaku safe zones?
Third-party wiki structure mentions Combat / Safe Zones pages. Public HTML dumps are thin. In practice: if swings do nothing, you are in a no-fight area — walk out, then T again. Coverage has shifted between updates; recheck in-game.
Class as a hide
Players run into class to drop a chase. That is a map play, not a documented anti-combat buff. Campus covers activities around those rooms.
How do I structure a Shigaku fight instead of mashing?
Start outside a safe zone. T. Walk in. If they are already swinging, F first. If they are asleep, you still should not R immediately in a crowd — you will crit one and eat two. Isolate or don’t start.
Knockdown is the decision point. C is optional. Locker is optional. Running is optional. The wrong optional is starting a gym set while their combo is still out. Combat lockout is the tax.
Playground 1vN is content, not a skill check. If the clip you watched stuffed someone at 05:10, that was a 1v1. Copy the inputs, not the ego.
Carry is a tempo tool. If you C someone and get hit by their teammate, you donated a knockdown. Drop them or finish the locker — do not pose. Grip (G) stays experimental until a prompt is visible; mashing G in neutral is not a combo from this wiki.
Safe zone mistakes look like input lag. Before you rebind your whole keyboard, walk ten steps and T again. If combat returns, you were in a no-fight pocket, not a broken F key.
Hall fights in Shigaku are short. You do not need a 12-hit converter. You need T equipped, F when their string is out, R when you want the knockdown the recaps actually show, and C only if a locker is the joke you came for. Playground pile-ups are not ranked. If you keep losing, gym, then isolate. If you keep winning, you still should not invent a lock-on key this wiki cannot cite. Grip stays on the listing without a finisher tutorial — mash G in neutral and you taught yourself a myth. Leave the fight when the HUD says you are tagged; gym will wait.
| State | Press | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral | T if unequipped | Close or leave |
| They combo | F | R when they drop guard |
| They drop | C or disengage | Locker only if you want them gone |
| You got hit | Stop gym plans | Wait lockout |
| Swings do nothing | Walk | You are in a safe zone |
Grip
G is on the listing. Recaps do not give a clean finisher tutorial. Do not invent damage. Use G only after you see the HUD prompt, then write it down for the next wiki pass.
What next
Next: bind the same keys on controls.
Then: lift on gym if knockdowns never land.

Is Q confirmed dash?
Only in recaps. Confirm on your HUD before you rebind your brain around Q.
Can I fight in class?
If the room is a safe zone, no. Walk out and T again to test.
Does blocking stop crits?
Unknown frame data. F is still the documented defense key in recaps.
When is Carry legal?
After they are downed in recaps. Carrying a standing player is not documented as a feature.
Do lockers kill?
They remove someone from the brawl as a sandbox gag. Exact KO/death rules TBA.
Why did my punches do nothing?
Safe zone, unequipped T, or you are hitting a teammate/NPC the client ignores.
Should I gym mid-fight?
No. Combat tag can lock sets. Finish or run, then lift.
Is Grip a finisher?
G is on the listing. Wait for a prompt. Do not mash it as a secret ultra.
Can I 1v3 the playground?
You can try. This page will not call that a skill check.
Where do I practice?
Empty halls. There is no published dummy.
Can I lock on?
Not on the official bind list. If the HUD adds it, use it; we will not invent a lock-on key.
Do crits always knockdown?
Recaps show R as knockdown. Not a guarantee against every ping or kit.
Friendly fire?
Not documented. Assume other students are valid PvP targets outside safe zones.
After locker, then what?
They are out of that brawl. You are not scored. Walk away or find the next fight.
