Li Mei - Kameo Tier List

Pan1cMode

AUS FGC represent!
Here is tier list of Li Mei’s kameo choices in the current meta

22484Interested to hear what others have to say. I feel like she works well with basically any Kameo.

I still feel Mavado is her best Kameo although tremor might be rivaling that. That’s more on how broken tremor is in general though than him having any specific synergy with Li Mei.

Reasoning for top 5
Mavado:
  • converts off everything (ex db3, bf4, 214, 434, random air-airs, aerial ex db4) and won’t come out erroneously
  • throw combos (albeit for full Kameo)
  • OTG d+K allows you to enforce oki/armour break
  • +frames off 124 with b+K
  • good damage (but tbh she gets good damage with basically every Kameo)
  • push block can be helpful in some very very niche situations

Tremor
  • +100 health
  • everything can be made safe with Kameo counter call
  • can call as a meat shield to protect in projectile war
  • (f)unblockable setups on wakeup after safe jumps with ground pround
  • crystalline armour is strong
  • ridiculous damage (especially considering how fast his Kameo regenerates; you’re looking at 400-500 from basically all conversions)
Janet
  • converts off most things (aerial db4 being the exception; its positioning dependent and not reliable)
  • throw kombos anywhere on screen (for half a Kameo meter too)
  • jento stance (although with her current kit getting it out is a bit harder than one would like)
  • decent wakeup/invincible gap option with nutpunch
  • projectile wall can help in zoning
  • good damage
Scorpion:
  • good conversions; although requires commitment prior to hit confirming.
  • best wakeup/armour in the game if you’re not in the corner
  • great damage
  • throw combos (although higher execution)
Khameleon:
  • Swiss Army knife of utility
  • good counter zoning potential with Jade glow and glaive
  • decent damage

I love using Li Mei, and she feels really fun, but it feels like so much more of a struggle with her than the other characters I use (Nitara, Sektor, Cyrax, Mileena, Kitana).
