S tier is above A tier. It's common in gaming

One-up-manship. Special rank is above merely A rank.

S-ranks are actually a feature of Japanese academic grading, being their equivalent to an A+. Hence, Japanese games used that scale for their own grading, and thus the practice followed them across the pond.

Some games even have SS, SSS, or X ranks to denote extra super special ones.
