Sorry by the way I am completely new to forums of any kind, I just wanted to try it out since I have read all the sonic comics up to like 270-something and almost all the games but don't have any friends that are as into sonic as I am xD

But anyway, on to the point, In sonic Adventure Amy was decently fun to play as but in games like advanced 1 two or three (without sonic with her) she is super hard to play as (especially since she can't spin dash or jump into a ball like everyone else) so really even playing as her isn't that fun IMO. But at least she does some cool things in the comic. xD Welcome to SNN.

I think it's really a matter of gameplay designers not really sure what to do with her. She is now recognised as a Speed Type character, that means while she is not as fast as Sonic and Shadow (in fact she is the slowest of all known speed types) she would roughly be faster than Tails and Knuckles.

Of course the Class type system was roughly introduced in Sonic Heroes so before that I think she was the second slowest playable character in Sonic Adventure but decent balance in gameplay made up for it.

At least thats my oppinion on her variety of skillsets in games. Though I believe she can pass off as a powerhouse with that mallet of hers, so minus any ability to prolong falling she could still pack a wallop. OOOH I can't believe I forgot about sonic heroes! Yeah that was the best time with her. Though it would be nice if she thought about stuff other than sonic. I don't blame him for running away everytime she finds him again. xD

I do admit she is rather one dimensional in thoughts. But it sort of defines her, as pathetic as it may sound.

StC Amy and Boomiverse Amy are just as cool in their own right but don't quite stand out next to the other heroes. Boomiverse Amy does have her quirks though which define her more as an individual and doesn't fall back on crazy desire to hump Sonic.

If anything, I think she should be like Lola Bunny from Loony Tunes show but much less absent minded.
