Jujutsu Shenanigans Beginner Guide

Jujutsu Shenanigans is a Roblox anime fighting game based on Jujutsu Kaisen. Pick a sorcerer, learn their moveset, master combos, and battle other players in 1v1 or team matches.

Every character has a base kit plus an Awakening that unlocks a signature ultimate move. Mastering both layers is what separates new players from veterans.

The game uses a currency-and-roll system — earn coins from matches to unlock new characters, or use Robux to speed up unlocks.

Cross-play is enabled — match against PC, Mobile, and Xbox players from one lobby.

Step 1 — Pick Honored One (Gojo) or Restless Gambler (Hakari) as your first character. Both are S-tier and forgiving for new players.

Step 2 — Run the in-game tutorial. It teaches M1 combos, blocking, and dodges — the three core mechanics.

Step 3 — Jump into PvP matches immediately. Combos only become muscle memory through real fights.

Step 4 — Save your early coins. Don't roll for new characters yet — master your starter first.

Step 5 — Watch the kill feed. Pay attention to what moves the highest-skill players use — those are the meta picks.

M1 (Light Attack) — basic combo string. Most characters have 4-5 hits in their M1 chain. Always end with a knockdown move to start your pressure.

M2 (Heavy Attack) — launches opponents. Use this to extend combos in the air or to catch players blocking low.

Block — neutral guard. Hold to reduce incoming damage by ~70%. Some moves (grabs, unblockables) bypass block entirely.

Dash — short invincibility frames on startup. Use to escape pressure or to close distance on a zoning opponent.

Awakening — every character has an Awakening bar that fills through combat. Once full, activate for a signature ultimate move that turns the match.

Combo Extender — when an opponent is launched, you get extra air combos. The best players chain 8-12 hits off a single opener.

Honored One (S-Tier) — Gojo's kit is the most beginner-friendly. Hollow Purple is a one-shot kill on a confirmed combo. Best pick for new players.

Restless Gambler (S-Tier) — Hakari's Jackpot provides infinite regen when active. Out-sustains most meta picks. Easy M1 chain.

Disaster Plants (S+ Tier) — Hanami's range is unmatched. Cosmic Shuriken controls space better than any other character. Forgiving for players still learning neutral.

Salaryman (B-Tier) — Nanami's 7:3 ratio is the safest poke in the game. Good 'training wheels' character before you graduate to S-tier.

Avoid Vessel early — Sukuna Switch has the highest skill ceiling in the game. Save for when you understand matchups.

Awakening bars fill through dealing and receiving damage. Most matches see 1-2 Awakenings per round depending on pace.

Use your Awakening as a finisher — confirm a combo into Awakening for a guaranteed kill.

Save Awakening when you're losing — the comeback potential is huge if your opponent is at 30% HP.

Honored One's Awakening (Unlimited Void) freezes the opponent briefly. Combo into it for a guaranteed Hollow Purple follow-up.

Restless Gambler's Awakening (Jackpot) provides 7 seconds of infinite regen. Use to out-trade any opponent.

Disaster Plants' Awakening (Disaster Tongue) is a ranged zoning tool. Best used to catch opponents trying to escape your combo.

Neutral = the moment-to-moment game of approaching your opponent without getting hit. Most beginners lose here, not in combos.

Zoners (Blood Manipulator, True Cannon) win neutral by controlling space. To beat them, dash through their projectiles and punish the recovery.

Rushdown (Head of Hei, Restless Gambler) win neutral by closing distance fast. To beat them, block and punish their M1 chains on whiff.

Summoners (Ten Shadows, Puppet Master) win neutral through persistent pressure. To beat them, focus the summoner not the summons.

The single biggest neutral mistake new players make: mashing M1 from full screen. Always wait for an opening or force one with a long-range move.

Use the in-game Training mode. It lets you set the dummy's behavior and test combos without matchmaking pressure.

Start with the basic M1 chain. Most characters have a 4-hit M1 that ends in a knockdown. Master that first.

Add M2 confirms. After M1-M1-M1, press M2 — most characters can chain into a launcher.

Practice combo extenders. After M2 launches, M1 again in the air. Chain until the opponent hits the ground.

End every combo with a move that knocks the opponent far. This gives you breathing room to reset neutral — never end with a weak move.

Spend 10 minutes in Training mode every time you pick up a new character. The combos only become reliable with muscle memory.

Mistake 1 — Using Awakening at the wrong time. Don't pop Awakening when you're at 80% HP and the opponent is at 20%. Save it as a finisher or a comeback tool.

Mistake 2 — Mashing M1 without reading. Every M1 has recovery frames. Smart opponents block the third M1 and punish your whiff.

Mistake 3 — Never blocking. Defense wins games. Block, dash, and punish — don't just hold forward.

Mistake 4 — Ignoring Awakenings. The strongest characters become broken with Awakening active. Don't play like Awakenings don't exist.

Mistake 5 — Playing too many characters. Pick one S-tier and main it for a week before you roll. Spreading across 5 characters means you master none.
