Hajime Rising Combat: Punches, Aim and Skill Inputs
Choose the boxing action you want to control: the hand, punch type, target height or an unlocked movement skill. Each answer keeps that decision separate, so a missed attack gives you a useful input to practise before the next spar.
Separate the inputType, hand and target height are different parts of the intended punch.

How to use these combat answers
Boxing inputs work in layers. Z, X and C select a punch type; left and right click select the hand; looking up or down chooses head or body aim. Use the comparison pages when you want those choices together, then open an individual move reference when a specific selection or tutorial unlock is the obstacle.
The movement and equipped-skill answers add different controls. E and R belong to equipped moves, while Infighter Dash and Weaving have their own demonstrated Q/gloves and Space lessons. Practise the action you have actually unlocked before bringing it into a fight. The guidance focuses on recognisable actions and useful practice decisions rather than assigning unsupported damage, protection or combo effects.
