How to do tier lists

[BillStickers]

Remember when Tempest Lao wasn't even in the discussion?

OMG NO MIX-UPS, SO BAD

heh

Now he's "obviously" amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if he drops back down to mid-tier in a few months when people learn the matchup.

He's been in the discussion since day 1 and that was even before his hat orbit got buffed to +27. Thanks for providing proof that you don't know what you're talking about, though.

Why is kung Lao S tier?

 

[cR Xarakamaka]

Liu kang is not S+ tier, Flame fist is probably A+ with dragons fire being A and dualist going to the bottom...

totally agree he shud be maybe c tier! , oh wait. what bad match ups has he got again?

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

First you said he's not S or A tier, but you placed him in A. Lol.

IMO, he's still A+ material. The nerfs didn't knock him down that low in the tier list.

Yeah man i dont but ppl suggested it so yh

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

says its only opinions........calls someone a "dumb nigga" b/c they disagree with you about liu kang...........hmmmmmmm

Well that is just a straight up lie but cool if you say so.

Btw show me the patch note where db1 gets buffed to +27

Agree with everything, basically. Except tremor needs some small frame data buffs/corrections. I am still of the majority opinion that it is still too early for the tiers to mean much. Sadly, the life cycle on NRS games is too short to let the tiers really reveal themselves naturally.

No lies here; it's not my fault you chose to listen to PL instead of MIT and DJT.

+27 Orbiting hat was a stealth buff but you can extrapolate it from the 5/14 Patch Notes:

• Kung Lao (Tempest) – Cyclone now has 7 startup frames (up from 5)
• Kung Lao (Tempest) - Hat Spin & Orbiting Hat will now combo link correctly afterwards
• Kung Lao (Tempest) – Shortened the time it takes for his hat to return after Hat Spin & Orbiting Hat.

What you're perceiving as the meta evolving is really just a series of stealth frame data changes. Note that tempest was in the discussion from day 1 despite buzzsaw's popularity because Lao had the 5 frame armored spin.
