What lol Amy was legitimately top 5 in SC4, definitely top tier without a doubtIt's so much worse than that, though.
SCIV had it's balance balance issues, but Amy was not among them; she was barely, barely middle-tier in that game. Her damage was so paltry, sticking with her long enough to make her viable was a labour of love. You had to be on your shit to add up the damage. The reason I think she leaves a stinging memory is that for those who persevered, when you win with Amy, it's often an embarrassing affair for the other player. Lots of getting lured in by backstance (which triggers aggro from most players like nothing else, but is actually one of Amy's strongest positions to counter from), backstep fake-outs, and huge combos. Amy's not (or at least in SCIV was not) particularly strong, but that moveset oozes style and often involves making the other player complicit in their downfall. The combination is such that people feel burned, and being on tilt like that tends to create a longer lasting impression.
