Everything you need to know about TierBuddy and tier lists.
A tier list is a visual ranking system that sorts items into tiers from best to worst, typically labeled S, A, B, C, and D. Originally popularized by the fighting game community, tier lists are now used to rank almost anything — video games, anime characters, movies, food, music, and more.
S tier stands for 'superb' or 'special' and represents the highest rank. A tier is excellent, B tier is good, C tier is average, and D tier is below average or the lowest rank. Some tier lists also include F tier for the worst items. The S tier originated from Japanese ranking systems used in video games.
