The weirdest or coolest thing about Amy is probably the roll. Amy isn't able to roll in any other games, but in Superstars and the other classic games, she can!
Honestly, Amy is lowkey the character you want for an RPG. High strength and magic, great speed and support, and decent defense and resistance. Jokes aside tho Amy is by far a powerhouse and should be recognized for it.
@@cafequente8252 I don't remember, but doesn't she actually have an OP moveset? I remember her and Sonic having an OP duo attack but I don't remember her normal moves.
@@Riot205X the main reason I like her is becuase she has the second highest damage output in the game (rivaled by knuckles and outdone by Omega) and the ability to give a damage buff. She can only apply the buff to one person at a time, but along with Tails' ability to give extra turns, it is really broken
@@cafequente8252 That's good to know. I hadn't realized she was that good. But this gotta be SEGA's way of letting us in the know. Like Amy's skills are something else. I hope she gets a solid role where she does way more than her usual stuff soon.
My personal headcanon about Amy not seen using her tarot cards in a lot of Sonic media until recently is she may have been insecure about openly being into occult stuff since she thought it wasn’t a cute girly thing to be into. And that other people, like her crush sonic, would find her weird for it. But after years of hanging out and becoming friends with sonic and crew, she began to get more comfortable being herself and showing off the weirder sides of herself, and thus started to be more open about her tarot hobby.
i dont have a source for this, but i heard that the tarot thing was a common hobbie for japanese girls around the time sonic cd released, so they gave it to amy to make her feel like a regular girl, and this why it wasnt a big part of her character, and i think the bigger tarot focus more recently is sega trying to give something different for her because knuckles already fills the ´´guy who hits things hard´´ slot.
i agree, the sonic 06 invisibility could be her using a tarot card just hiding it from view. if they remade the game they could have her actually use one, and hide it somewhat but towards the end of the level she doesnt do it as much to show she will grow out of it eventually and have the confidence regardless of how sonic 06 ends. Tarot cards could give her more magic abilities the more she uses it. i think they could be onto something. and to make things fit, she could be harnessing chaos energy without even realizing it via tarot cards. Shadow in a future game could refrence "is that chaos energy?" when she uses it in front of him.
This was my personal head cannon as well. That’s why it made sense for me that she got back into them in Frontiers, since in that game, a some of the characters were learning to value themselves away from Sonic.
Don't forget about Amy's rage moments in Sonic X. Most notably the time when she threw her hammer at and smashed in eggmans ship way up in the night sky from the ground. Then magically spawned another hammer when eggman taunted her, saying he had her original hammer. Then smashed the second one in again.
Some notes: - In Sonic Battle, she says that she was able to find Sonic using her tarot cards and dousing abilities. Indeed, both of these were mentioned in her Sonic Battle profile. - Sonic Chronicles actually had her use her tarot cards for certain moves. - She also displays the ability to summon countless amounts of hammers out of thin air. In Sonic the Fighters, Sonic X and Superstars (with the White Emerald), she can only throw one at a time. But when Super Amy (Origins) or in Hyper Mode (Sonic the Fighters), she can rapidly toss them to devastating effect. - SA2's multiplayer mode has Amy Flash and Storming Heart. While not a time stop move, it locks up the opponent's controls, which is worse. - Amy's bangles were never directly stated to be her training weights. - In addition, in Sonic the Fighters, Amy can summon random objects from the sky, and her hyper mode turns this to consistently drop a 16-ton weight.
@its.sugarberry He already mentioned it in the video. Speaking of Fighters, Classic Amy used an actual squeaky hammer to flatten opponents. While this could be a sheer strength feat, the move is called "Magical Hammer." Buy no matter which way you view it, to be able to deal damage with a squeaky toy hammer is a feat in and of itself.
In Sonic Advance 3. When paired up with Knuckles, She can bring out the Heavy Power Hammer. In Sonic Adventure 1, She can upgrade her hammer to the Lightning Hammer. When she whacks the ground it sends out a corcular shockwave. In Sonic X, There is an episode where Amy throws her hammer at Dr. Eggman, Easily summoning another one up, showing off the power of her inhibiter rings.
Yeah the thumbnail affected me as well and was giving me mixed feelings about Amy, but to be honest, she really is powerful unlike how she is estimated.

Amy sounds like a magical girl but replaced the sailor suit with weights. As all anime fans know, magical girls are busted because their powers rely on emotions. Combine that with Saiyan weight training and you get Amy Rose...
@@EvieDrawsStuffiGuess Kind of... the Earth would have been doomed without her special knack for connecting to others. I'd also argue she DID go to prison island by HERSELF. The only reason she had trouble is because she ran into BOTH Eggman and Shadow.

If you watch the video carefully, at no point he mentions IDW Amy (heck not even a single IDW comic screenshot apart from that whose show Amy grabbing her tarot cards), especifically, praise Amy for her "leadership skills that were not stolen from Sally at all."

I really liked Amy's steady progression in the series. In CD she was pretty much just a regular girl. Then in Adventure she mostly ran away from Zero until he really pushed her to show what she can do. Adventure 2 was really important for her in my opinion because while she was better, she still wasn't on the others level and still found a way to help in reminding Shadow of his promise. I think this all culminates in Heroes where's she's actively leading a team and doing as well as everyone else. Heroes is peak Amy to me personally.
@rafaelpereiragomes1735 I would humbly disagree. Yes there is the "there's no way out of marrying me" scene but most of the reason they fight Sonic immediately after that is because they think he is in possession of Chocola and Froggy. She was pretty dead set on finding them, even encouraging Big and Cream to go out with her and find them with her at the beginning of the game. She only chased Sonic at Final Fortress after they were saved.
@@castform7Nah dude saying Heroes Amy is peak is like saying Forces was a good game. Apart of that infamous scene of Sonic Team, the cutscenes clearly showed us that Amy seems more interested in Sonic than in finding Chocola and Froggy. In every single scene she always mentioned that she was in love with Sonic, almost no scene showed any concern in rescuing the other characters apart from the scene where Amy encourage Cream and Big when they were in the haunted castle level. If scenes like that had appeared more often in the game, I would have shut my mouth, but no. For example, in the final scene of the Team Rose story, when facing Eggman, Amy says "It's your fault that Sonic and I aren't together." Could you mention something about Chocola and Froggy for once in this game? It was clear what the writers' intentions were with Amy. I mean, it didn't cost anything to put a sentence like "It's your fault that Chocola and Froggy are missing, Cream and Big are very worried. And on top of that, Sonic isn't with us, nor with me.". There's always "Sonic Sonic Sonic!!". Also, there's that scene of Amy saying "Really, what?" to Cream after she said something negative about Sonic, do I really have to explain how horrible that scene was? Poor Cream, I didn't find that moment funny, it could have been done much better. But well, everyone has their own opinions, no matter how wrong they are...
@criticalbuddy524 That's...not true. In Grand Metropolis she does talk about Sonic when specifically asked by Cream if she's sure Sonic's there. The way she says the "Really what?" sounds like genuine curiosity on what her friend thinks of her crush. Sonic doesn't come up in the initial cutscene of Rail Canyon, and while I will admit that the cutscene after at the Egg Albatross is very Sonic centric, she's right back to being on Eggman's back after they find his decoy and now think he's most likely to be holding Chocola and Froggy. Hang Castle and Frog Forest have zero mention of Sonic. Hell, during Eggman's robot hoard section in Hang Castle, Amy actively questions if Eggman is the culprit behind their disappearance. Then we have the Egg Emperor cutscene but I think Amy's already done a good enough job of displaying she does care about finding her friends' friends. Just cause she doesn't have Chocola and Froggy's name in her mouth 24/7 doesn't mean she doesn't care. It's very clear that she does, especially since that's the reason she went out with Cream and Big in the first place. Finding Sonic is just a big bonus.
Nah SA 1 & 2 is peak Amy considering she has cares about other people (Gamma and Shadow) than just Sonic and Heroes Amy is basically what Amy haters think Amy is.
I’m not sure if you’ve been reading the IDW comics but unlike other Sonic comics these ones are actually cannon to the games. A moment that I think is worth mentioning is during the Urban Warfare arc as they’re fighting a massive badnik hoard, the gang encounters a super badnik (those big bulky ones with the massive hammers). Anyway, in the scuffle the super badnik drops its GIANT hammer and the end of the handle conveniently lands next to Amy. Amy pauses before a smiling grin shows up on her face. She asks Silver to give her a boost with his telekinesis and SHE PICKS UP THE MASSIVE HAMMER THAT IS SEVERAL TIMES HER SIZE AND SMASHES THE SUPER BADNIK WITH ITS OWN WEAPON! Afterwards Silver is shaken up as he says that although he gave her a boost, Amy did most of the heavy lifting. I just felt I should mention this.
Amy is a very powerful character on her own (of course, if we compare her to Sonic and Shadow's entire arsenal, for example, the competition becomes unfair because those guys are very broken, lol) and I see a lot of potential in her that can be further explored in future stories and even in a solo game. I know that the Sonic franchise has a very broad power system and that it is generally not structured in several rules like in Hunter X Hunter, for example, but the possibility of her having powers coming from magic is something that catches my attention mainly because this can give her good versatility and, as a contrast, she still trains her body to have better physical capabilities because, in addition to being quite athletic like a gymnast, Amy also knows martial arts because in Sonic Battle she says that she practices Boxing and even if it is just to "keep in shape", she still does it with the rings that are super heavy, which makes her training similar to the extreme exercises in the routine of some characters like Chun-Li herself, for example, she has a great potential!
Amy's an example of, someone really powerful who doesn't use their power, not because they can't, but because they choose not to Eggman may be crazy enough to fight supersonic, but by god is he not stupid enough to piss off amy
Two abilities that were missed here. 1) Her tornado. Not only can she swing around that giant hammer (which has been described as heavy as a car), she can do so with such speed that she spawns a small tornado. 2) Elaboration on her speed. While she's been fast for a long time*, with Frontiers she now canonically has the boost. It's also hinted at that her "girlish intuition" could be connected to sensing chaos energy, which is another bonus to her character. *She was only slower in one game, where she admitted that she had not been on an adventure in a while. I prescribe to the theory that she was just a little rusty; she quickly regained speed through intensive training.
i can't help but think of a comic book scene: Sonic and a bunch of his friends are fighting a bunch of robots. a giant robot swings at Sonic with a giant hammer. Silver stops it in mid-swing, then Blaze hits it's hand with a fireball, making it drop the hammer. the hammer lands right next to Amy. she makes a silly face, (her eyes get really big), she looks at her normal hammer, then she puts it away and yells, "Silver! give me a boost!" then the two of them, working together, smash the robot's head in with it's own hammer. *PICO* then Silver looks shocked and says, "You did most of that! how..." and Sonic says, "' 'Cuz she's awesome!" and gives Amy a high-five!
Super Knuckles was mentioned in Frontiers. Ergo, all classic super forms are canon, Amy's very much included. Not to mention that Super Trip completely disproves the notion that only males can go super.@@reggielacey2235
@@reggielacey2235 "Not canon" is just a buzzword term at this point tbh. It's officially released by Sega as a part of the mainline continuity; that, by definition, literally makes it canonical.
A lot of characters in the Sonic series are pretty overpowered. Ironically, I think Tails is kinda the opposite of Amy. He went from being extremely broken (fast as Sonic, smart as Robotnik, flight) to being more coddled as the series went on.
She does have a super form but it's just her regular colors except slightly more pink and shiny. She should've had a golden super form like the rest of the hedgehogs
Just a reminder: A Piko Piko Hammer is a toy hammer. The kind that squeaks when you whack it. Amy can hurt you with a TOY hammer! But in all seriousness it is so hard to measure Amy. She is often coded as a comedic character, so many of her amazing abilities could only exist as a joke. But since the Sonic narrative always tows the line between comedy and serious story, and because Amy has been getting more character development lately, it really calls into question how strong and how capable she really is.
It may have started as a toy, but it sure as hell ain't a toy anymore every time i see it it's depicted to be made out of heavy duty metal plates and alloy
I think back 2 the eggpirial city arc in idw when silver helped amy take down a badnik with its own hammer much bigger than her piko piko hammer and Silver said she was doing most of the heavy lifting.
The possiblity that Amy might actually secretly be the strongest character in the games verse possibly ranking high beyond Ultimate Emerl, Solaris, the Time Eater, and The End is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time.
It doesn't surprise me. If she can SCARE Sonic or Knuckles, you know Amy is not to ne messed with. She even had the best sidekick (Cream). I love that character.
So apparently on the Sega of America website for Sonic Characters such as Amy in March 5 2005 , the website claimed that _"Amy is graceful and powerful at the same time and though she often gets into trouble, she is stronger than most give her credit for."_ In the Sonic The Hedeghog Encyclo-speed-ia on page 148 there is a section for one of the Advance games that talks about pairings. When you pair Knuckles and Amy up they are labeled as Power Type. With the description being, _"Any team with Knuckles but without Sonic. Deal extra damage and access exclusive routes."_ There is also the panel from the IDW comics where Amy does most of the heavy lifting to lift an enormous hammer, Silver says so himself. Also, in the Sonic Twitter & TikTok Takeover #7 at 16 minutes & 30 seconds Knuckles and Amy claim Amy using her hammer can break the Earth, a feat we've seen Knuckles be able to do himself. Oh yeah and she is wearing a pair of the weight rings on her legs as well, but they are hidden beneath her footwear.
3:38 I was wondering if anybody else noticed that. I think there was this scene in one of those handheld fighting games that implied that those bracelets she always wears are actually weights, that would be fun to see elaborated on in a future game.
Alright, I'm gonna say something controversial: Amy knocking Knuckles into that tree isn't an impressive feat. These characters are lightweights (minus Big, Vector, & Omega;) they throw eachother around all the time in Sonic Heroes and Andvance 3. What's REALLY impressive is that Amy can create a tornado with a single swing of her hammer. She can effortlessly do something that even Sonic & Shadow have to run in a circle for a bit to do. As far as physical strength goes, she has to be on par with Shadow & Rouge. (Shadow can flip a bus with one hand and Rouge can carry & launch Omega, who is ridiculously heavy.)
In Sonic Battle at one point Amy creates a fully physically interactable, sapient, allied Sonic tulpa out of thin air just with a thought, which you as Gemerl have a fight with
tbh I think She's cool for being a fan girl sometimes. Even as a kid I liked her this way because it was so different from other female characters. Yeah it can get annoying at times but I think having a healthy mix of fan girl and modern day Amy would be awesome.
In fact, the fact she's into tarot cards can explain some of the more mystical abilities: prior to meeting the blue blur for the first time, Amy has been actively studying the magic arts. Why she has the stats of a mage build in most spinoff games when she's playable. What if I told you that Sonic the Hedgehog has a sister series, called Puyo Puyo? Hear me out, what if Amy's holding back the same destructive magic Arle has this whole time with limiter rings of her own (her weights. if you think about it Amy is now strong enough to cast Dark Prince's ASCENSION spell)? Arle's strongest magic is Ice Storm. When Amy gets mad, she can be seen channeling a powerful spell to unleash a burst of fire, similar to Draco's fire. At one point, Popful Mail WAS going to be retooled into a Sonic game, a title HEAVILY involved in magic! So in reality, a lot of traits about Amy could very well be from that scrapped game resurfacing if you think about how similar Mail and Amy are.
I figured out that she was insanely op in sa1. She also became my favorite character there, too. I almost want to ask why you didn't mention her powers in sa2 battle in 2 player mode. Apparently, she can do her own version of Sonic Wind and can do her own version of cahos control, which freezes the opponet for even longer than cahos control. But everyone kind of had bs powers here to balance things out on 2player mode. But it's still noteworthy. Lol
Cream the Rabbit has crazier strength feats. She can lift Big and Amy at the same time like it was nothing. Big weighs half a ton, and as you pointed out those rings on Amy are super weighed. Rogue lifting Omega is pretty nuts too, but Omega assists with his thrusters.
This is exactly why we need another Sonic the hedgehog RPG. You need multiple characters that can be heavy hitters and Amy and knuckles will be perfect for that.
A lot of people say that she isnt powerful as sonic and shadow but they refuse to give her a super form when she's a hedgehog like Sonic, Shadow, and Silver all also hedgehog 🤔🤨🕵🏾♂️
Now, I haven't played many modern sonic games, but from the one's I've played, my favorite Amy is SA1. She still likes Sonic, but she isn't exactly hyper-obsessive, (Like in heroes) and she doesn't let Sonic get in the way of her primary goal, which is protecting the bird. And she's able to do other stuff in that game too, like reunite the bird with their family, defeating one of Eggman's robots, (and a pretty powerful one at that) and saving Gamma from getting destroyed by Sonic. Now before any of you people say anything about SA2, I haven't played that game yet, I'm still on SADX. Also this isn't a modern game, but an honorable mention is Amy in CD, simply just because she's really cute in that game.
Amy Rose one of the most underrated Sonic characters,she's one of my favorite,this was a great video,you're a little off with Amy's bracelets being weights. Amy does wear weights in Sonic Battle but when you read the rest of the text the weights aren't just on her arms they're on her arms and legs. Amy is Goku/Rock Lee for real 😂 that's awesome 😎
You know, I like to believe that Amy has the Power of Slapstic, as long as she doesn't have a comical reason to act, she can't use her power. At least in SA he could only push Zero, this robot could be easily defeated by anyone on Team Sonic. So by pushing Zero with her comedic strength into the electric cage, she could expose a vulnerable point. In Sonic Battle her love for Sonic took her to a point of absurd training where she not only trains physically every day to be on par with the rest in combat, but channels her love and transforms it into power, her slapstic is almost the philosophy of the power of an emerald. (I have no doubt that the current Amy is just strong and that's it)
amy rose literally bricked my minecraft world when the official sonic dlc was added. im not even joking, i had to delete the world because i couldnt move anymore.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Goku's fight with Tien near the end of OG Dragon Ball instead: To not hold back as much against Tien, Goku takes off his gear (including his wristbands), which crack the fighting ring's floor upon impact.
Remember: in the IDW comic, she managed to lift an absolutely massive hammer with only a *_little_* help from Silver, who openly admitted that Amy did most of the work.
I know it doesn't really count as a "power" per se but I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that she's the heart of the team. While the boys are off doing the actiony stuff, often times she is handling the more sensitive matters relating to compassion, communication, and such. We see it for the first time in Adventure with Gamma, again in Adv2 with Shadow in the last story, we see it a ton in Sonic X (i know its not canon, but its a good example), Unleashed where she becomes Pickle's assistant, Lost World to a much lesser extent (she seems to be in charge of the small animals' wellbeing after Sonic saves them), Forces where... uh.... (idk, I hate Forces but I know its there) and in the IDW comics with the resistance stuff, and in Frontiers with the Koco. Recap: Sonic = Speed, Tails = Brain, Knuckles = Strength, Amy = Heart. Every Team needs a heart, I think that's pretty important.
It's safe to say that her Piko Piko Hammer is only the tip of the iceberg that is all the crazy abilities Amy can pull off. She's definitely one of the strongest characters in the series if she can knock out Knuckles just by lightly shoving him!

She was pretty dead set on finding them, even encouraging Big and Cream to go out with her and find them with her at the beginning of the game. She only chased Sonic at Final Fortress after they were saved.
@@castform7Nah dude saying Heroes Amy is peak is like saying Forces was a good game. Apart of that infamous scene of Sonic Team, the cutscenes clearly showed us that Amy seems more interested in Sonic than in finding Chocola and Froggy. In every single scene she always mentioned that she was in love with Sonic, almost no scene showed any concern in rescuing the other characters apart from the scene where Amy encourage Cream and Big when they were in the haunted castle level. If scenes like that had appeared more often in the game, I would have shut my mouth, but no. For example, in the final scene of the Team Rose story, when facing Eggman, Amy says "It's your fault that Sonic and I aren't together." Could you mention something about Chocola and Froggy for once in this game? It was clear what the writers' intentions were with Amy. I mean, it didn't cost anything to put a sentence like "It's your fault that Chocola and Froggy are missing, Cream and Big are very worried. And on top of that, Sonic isn't with us, nor with me.".
There's always "Sonic Sonic Sonic!!". Also, there's that scene of Amy saying "Really, what?" to Cream after she said something negative about Sonic, do I really have to explain how horrible that scene was? Poor Cream, I didn't find that moment funny, it could have been done much better.
But well, everyone has their own opinions, no matter how wrong they are...
@criticalbuddy524 That's...not true. In Grand Metropolis she does talk about Sonic when specifically asked by Cream if she's sure Sonic's there. The way she says the "Really what?" sounds like genuine curiosity on what her friend thinks of her crush. Sonic doesn't come up in the initial cutscene of Rail Canyon, and while I will admit that the cutscene after at the Egg Albatross is very Sonic centric, she's right back to being on Eggman's back after they find his decoy and now think he's most likely to be holding Chocola and Froggy. Hang Castle and Frog Forest have zero mention of Sonic. Hell, during Eggman's robot hoard section in Hang Castle, Amy actively questions if Eggman is the culprit behind their disappearance. Then we have the Egg Emperor cutscene but I think Amy's already done a good enough job of displaying she does care about finding her friends' friends. Just cause she doesn't have Chocola and Froggy's name in her mouth 24/7 doesn't mean she doesn't care. It's very clear that she does, especially since that's the reason she went out with Cream and Big in the first place. Finding Sonic is just a big bonus.
Nah SA 1 & 2 is peak Amy considering she has cares about other people (Gamma and Shadow) than just Sonic and Heroes Amy is basically what Amy haters think Amy is.
Every Rose has it's thorns. Btw I've been waiting for something like this.
I’m not sure if you’ve been reading the IDW comics but unlike other Sonic comics these ones are actually cannon to the games. A moment that I think is worth mentioning is during the Urban Warfare arc as they’re fighting a massive badnik hoard, the gang encounters a super badnik (those big bulky ones with the massive hammers). Anyway, in the scuffle the super badnik drops its GIANT hammer and the end of the handle conveniently lands next to Amy. Amy pauses before a smiling grin shows up on her face. She asks Silver to give her a boost with his telekinesis and SHE PICKS UP THE MASSIVE HAMMER THAT IS SEVERAL TIMES HER SIZE AND SMASHES THE SUPER BADNIK WITH ITS OWN WEAPON! Afterwards Silver is shaken up as he says that although he gave her a boost, Amy did most of the heavy lifting.
I just felt I should mention this.
The IDW comics should not have been canon, not everyone who plays the Sonic games, reads the comics.
@@Xenox02-vu9rq sounds like a you problem.
Amy is a very powerful character on her own (of course, if we compare her to Sonic and Shadow's entire arsenal, for example, the competition becomes unfair because those guys are very broken, lol) and I see a lot of potential in her that can be further explored in future stories and even in a solo game. I know that the Sonic franchise has a very broad power system and that it is generally not structured in several rules like in Hunter X Hunter, for example, but the possibility of her having powers coming from magic is something that catches my attention mainly because this can give her good versatility and, as a contrast, she still trains her body to have better physical capabilities because, in addition to being quite athletic like a gymnast, Amy also knows martial arts because in Sonic Battle she says that she practices Boxing and even if it is just to "keep in shape", she still does it with the rings that are super heavy, which makes her training similar to the extreme exercises in the routine of some characters like Chun-Li herself, for example, she has a great potential!
Amy's an example of, someone really powerful who doesn't use their power, not because they can't, but because they choose not to
Eggman may be crazy enough to fight supersonic, but by god is he not stupid enough to piss off amy
When u realize Tinkaton is literally Amy Rose both short pink, and uses a huge hammer
Even Eggman admits how much more powerful Amy has become since the CD days in one of his Egg Memos.
Two abilities that were missed here. 1) Her tornado. Not only can she swing around that giant hammer (which has been described as heavy as a car), she can do so with such speed that she spawns a small tornado. 2) Elaboration on her speed. While she's been fast for a long time*, with Frontiers she now canonically has the boost.
It's also hinted at that her "girlish intuition" could be connected to sensing chaos energy, which is another bonus to her character.
*She was only slower in one game, where she admitted that she had not been on an adventure in a while. I prescribe to the theory that she was just a little rusty; she quickly regained speed through intensive training.
I really like Amy’s Tarot Card powers from Sonic Frontiers. It was a cute callback to her tarot card hobby from Sonic CD
Her craziest ability is having peak character growth. That thumbnail is cursed 😭
i can't help but think of a comic book scene:
Sonic and a bunch of his friends are fighting a bunch of robots.
a giant robot swings at Sonic with a giant hammer.
Silver stops it in mid-swing, then Blaze hits it's hand with a fireball, making it drop the hammer.
the hammer lands right next to Amy. she makes a silly face, (her eyes get really big), she looks at her normal hammer, then she puts it away and yells, "Silver! give me a boost!"
then the two of them, working together, smash the robot's head in with it's own hammer.
*PICO*
then Silver looks shocked and says, "You did most of that! how..."
and Sonic says, "' 'Cuz she's awesome!" and gives Amy a high-five!
"Only Male Hedgehogs can go super."
Amy in Sonic Origins: "wanna test that?"
Not canon
Super Knuckles was mentioned in Frontiers. Ergo, all classic super forms are canon, Amy's very much included.
Not to mention that Super Trip completely disproves the notion that only males can go super.@@reggielacey2235
@@reggielacey2235 "Not canon" is just a buzzword term at this point tbh. It's officially released by Sega as a part of the mainline continuity; that, by definition, literally makes it canonical.
@@reggielacey2235thank you for the games, but we’ll take it from here.
@@reggielacey2235 "Everything is canon."
A lot of characters in the Sonic series are pretty overpowered. Ironically, I think Tails is kinda the opposite of Amy. He went from being extremely broken (fast as Sonic, smart as Robotnik, flight) to being more coddled as the series went on.
8:23
Only problem with this is that it’s never established what the weights are. Battle never said the bracelets were weights.
shoot
Amy is strong
Psychic
and knows magic
girl is the whole package right now!
Praying Amy gets a proper super form akin to Sonic one day.
She does in Origins Plus and Superstars.
She does have a super form but it's just her regular colors except slightly more pink and shiny. She should've had a golden super form like the rest of the hedgehogs
Gotta respect that Amy's had those rings on since Adventure. She's committed to the grind.
Finally someone else recognizes the greatness of Amy Rose.
Its about time
"The power of love leads to many abilities one would consider...unnatural."
Why do i see Eggman making this kind of quote while shivering?
Just a reminder: A Piko Piko Hammer is a toy hammer. The kind that squeaks when you whack it. Amy can hurt you with a TOY hammer!
But in all seriousness it is so hard to measure Amy. She is often coded as a comedic character, so many of her amazing abilities could only exist as a joke. But since the Sonic narrative always tows the line between comedy and serious story, and because Amy has been getting more character development lately, it really calls into question how strong and how capable she really is.
It may have started as a toy, but it sure as hell ain't a toy anymore every time i see it it's depicted to be made out of heavy duty metal plates and alloy
Don't even get me STARTED about how she can summon her hammers out of nowhere in both Sonic X & the advance games
Let’s not forget the was throwing several piko hammers at one of eggmans ships in sonic x over a respectable distance causing heavy damage and dents
Not to mention she literally teleported it back to her afterwards! I know it could be, and probably is for comedic effect but it's still sick as hell
One of my first impressions of Amy was that in Sonic Chronicles shes the only character to learn Smash Level 3, Knuckles and Omega only get to Lvl 2.
And Amy uses tarot cards in that game way before Origins and Frontiers.
1:53 To be fair, Metal Sonic was doing something similar to jumping too, so does that even count? Lol 😂
dispite all these abilities, her biggest weakness is her legal blindness
What you mean by that?
@@JAYIQ-ip6bd
Mistook Shadow for Sonic
Mistook Silver for Sonic
Mistook KNUCKLES for Sonic
She is 100% legally blind and Color-blind.
@@Raincloud5137 ohhhh ok wait when did Amy mistake knucklehead as sonic?
@@Raincloud5137When did she mistake Knuckles for Sonic?
@@JAYIQ-ip6bd
Nevermind, I think I saw it in a fan comic
If she has all these abilities, she should have her own game.
Who's with me? 🙋♂️
Amy's time stop in SA2 Battle lasts longer than Dio's time stop. I think that's all that needs to be said.
She went to Egipt, fought Dio and learned za warudo to beat him, what a queen.
them nerfing her from slapping knuckles into a tree to just smacking him in the face should be a crime
amy cant go super because shes been super this whole time
i was not expecting to hear that amy rose wears weighted clothes like goku but that's absolutely hilarious 😭😭
I think back 2 the eggpirial city arc in idw when silver helped amy take down a badnik with its own hammer much bigger than her piko piko hammer and Silver said she was doing most of the heavy lifting.
In conclusion, that's why Sonic loves her 😂❤
Dont forget that she can literally stop time for 20 seconds in SA2 battle.
Amy must’ve been carrying the weight of the world while wearing those rings good lord
Amy is the definition of built different
The possiblity that Amy might actually secretly be the strongest character in the games verse possibly ranking high beyond Ultimate Emerl, Solaris, the Time Eater, and The End is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time.
It doesn't surprise me. If she can SCARE Sonic or Knuckles, you know Amy is not to ne messed with. She even had the best sidekick (Cream). I love that character.
So apparently on the Sega of America website for Sonic Characters such as Amy in March 5 2005 , the website claimed that _"Amy is graceful and powerful at the same time and though she often gets into trouble, she is stronger than most give her credit for."_
In the Sonic The Hedeghog Encyclo-speed-ia on page 148 there is a section for one of the Advance games that talks about pairings.
When you pair Knuckles and Amy up they are labeled as Power Type.
With the description being, _"Any team with Knuckles but without Sonic. Deal extra damage and access exclusive routes."_
There is also the panel from the IDW comics where Amy does most of the heavy lifting to lift an enormous hammer, Silver says so himself.
Also, in the Sonic Twitter & TikTok Takeover #7 at 16 minutes & 30 seconds Knuckles and Amy claim Amy using her hammer can break the Earth, a feat we've seen Knuckles be able to do himself.
Oh yeah and she is wearing a pair of the weight rings on her legs as well, but they are hidden beneath her footwear.
3:38 I was wondering if anybody else noticed that. I think there was this scene in one of those handheld fighting games that implied that those bracelets she always wears are actually weights, that would be fun to see elaborated on in a future game.
Ah yes, the strongest beings in the entire Sonic universe: *WOMEN*
After seeing the thumbnail I don't know if I should be amazed or terrified to the point where I need to go for therapy or maybe both.
well she is a hedgehog after all
I feel like ever since Frontiers, Amy has been like her Boom counterpart, and I love Boom Amy so this is epic
Alright, I'm gonna say something controversial:
Amy knocking Knuckles into that tree isn't an impressive feat. These characters are lightweights (minus Big, Vector, & Omega;) they throw eachother around all the time in Sonic Heroes and Andvance 3.
What's REALLY impressive is that Amy can create a tornado with a single swing of her hammer. She can effortlessly do something that even Sonic & Shadow have to run in a circle for a bit to do. As far as physical strength goes, she has to be on par with Shadow & Rouge.
(Shadow can flip a bus with one hand and Rouge can carry & launch Omega, who is ridiculously heavy.)
_I may have just woken up,_ but that thumbnail caught me off guard. 😵💫
Good luck in bed with her 😏
In Sonic Battle at one point Amy creates a fully physically interactable, sapient, allied Sonic tulpa out of thin air just with a thought, which you as Gemerl have a fight with
That's not a hug that was a death grip
tbh I think She's cool for being a fan girl sometimes. Even as a kid I liked her this way because it was so different from other female characters. Yeah it can get annoying at times but I think having a healthy mix of fan girl and modern day Amy would be awesome.
Suddenly I understand why knuckles was dazed after being knocked into that tree…
I also have a theory that her magical abilities may be one of the reasons she cheers people up so easily.
One of the twitter take overs said that Amy can crack the earth with her hammer…
Amy is to op
Finally, my girl is getting the respect she deserves. Love to see it.
Well Amy has rings in her pulses like shadow so......maybe she is hiding something 🤔
I totally overlooked the whole ring weight bit of lore. That's pretty neat.
0:26 sonic x shadow generations: how about no
real
0:32 this is what Sammy looks like to sonic
Amy can run as fast as a speed type, hit you as hard as a strength type and with her tarot card has similar air mobility to a flying type
She is op
That's what I've been saying: she has inhibitor rings! 😃
In fact, the fact she's into tarot cards can explain some of the more mystical abilities: prior to meeting the blue blur for the first time, Amy has been actively studying the magic arts. Why she has the stats of a mage build in most spinoff games when she's playable. What if I told you that Sonic the Hedgehog has a sister series, called Puyo Puyo? Hear me out, what if Amy's holding back the same destructive magic Arle has this whole time with limiter rings of her own (her weights. if you think about it Amy is now strong enough to cast Dark Prince's ASCENSION spell)? Arle's strongest magic is Ice Storm. When Amy gets mad, she can be seen channeling a powerful spell to unleash a burst of fire, similar to Draco's fire. At one point, Popful Mail WAS going to be retooled into a Sonic game, a title HEAVILY involved in magic! So in reality, a lot of traits about Amy could very well be from that scrapped game resurfacing if you think about how similar Mail and Amy are.
Fueled by love makes you do the most craziest of things.
I figured out that she was insanely op in sa1. She also became my favorite character there, too. I almost want to ask why you didn't mention her powers in sa2 battle in 2 player mode. Apparently, she can do her own version of Sonic Wind and can do her own version of cahos control, which freezes the opponet for even longer than cahos control. But everyone kind of had bs powers here to balance things out on 2player mode. But it's still noteworthy. Lol
Cream the Rabbit has crazier strength feats. She can lift Big and Amy at the same time like it was nothing. Big weighs half a ton, and as you pointed out those rings on Amy are super weighed.
Rogue lifting Omega is pretty nuts too, but Omega assists with his thrusters.
This is exactly why we need another Sonic the hedgehog RPG. You need multiple characters that can be heavy hitters and Amy and knuckles will be perfect for that.
"just wait a minute!" Thrumps them all
I find it funny how many of Amy's feats are pretty much tied to a gag, be it her hot temper or her love for Sonic.
A lot of people say that she isnt powerful as sonic and shadow but they refuse to give her a super form when she's a hedgehog like Sonic, Shadow, and Silver all also hedgehog 🤔🤨🕵🏾♂️
I love to see Amy get the love and appreciation she’s deserves she’s such a cool character!!!❤️
kuckles says she can break apart the earth with her hammer
no wonder they made her Wonder Woman in that DC collab
Bro… Amy wears weighted clothing like Dragon Ball characters 😱
You know her, you love her, she's Amy Rose! A Hero of passion and compassion and the heart of our dear DreamKAST!! 💖💖
Now, I haven't played many modern sonic games, but from the one's I've played, my favorite Amy is SA1. She still likes Sonic, but she isn't exactly hyper-obsessive, (Like in heroes) and she doesn't let Sonic get in the way of her primary goal, which is protecting the bird. And she's able to do other stuff in that game too, like reunite the bird with their family, defeating one of Eggman's robots, (and a pretty powerful one at that) and saving Gamma from getting destroyed by Sonic. Now before any of you people say anything about SA2, I haven't played that game yet, I'm still on SADX.
Also this isn't a modern game, but an honorable mention is Amy in CD, simply just because she's really cute in that game.
Wow great video!
Amy Rose one of the most underrated Sonic characters,she's one of my favorite,this was a great video,you're a little off with Amy's bracelets being weights. Amy does wear weights in Sonic Battle but when you read the rest of the text the weights aren't just on her arms they're on her arms and legs. Amy is Goku/Rock Lee for real 😂 that's awesome 😎
3:22 that scene was retconned but I don’t disagree with you saying she has strength similar to knuckles
You know, I like to believe that Amy has the Power of Slapstic, as long as she doesn't have a comical reason to act, she can't use her power.
At least in SA he could only push Zero, this robot could be easily defeated by anyone on Team Sonic. So by pushing Zero with her comedic strength into the electric cage, she could expose a vulnerable point.
In Sonic Battle her love for Sonic took her to a point of absurd training where she not only trains physically every day to be on par with the rest in combat, but channels her love and transforms it into power, her slapstic is almost the philosophy of the power of an emerald.
(I have no doubt that the current Amy is just strong and that's it)
amy rose literally bricked my minecraft world when the official sonic dlc was added. im not even joking, i had to delete the world because i couldnt move anymore.
I’m telling you, she’s insanely OP
gold rings the size of that on amys arm should be really heavy so it could make sense
3:35 Knuckles knocked the chaos emeralds out of Super Sonic that one time, and Amy destroyed him with one shove
I'm surprised you didn't mention Goku's fight with Tien near the end of OG Dragon Ball instead: To not hold back as much against Tien, Goku takes off his gear (including his wristbands), which crack the fighting ring's floor upon impact.
Remember: in the IDW comic, she managed to lift an absolutely massive hammer with only a *_little_* help from Silver, who openly admitted that Amy did most of the work.
Finally...
The queen gets her spotlight
Amy, Shadow and Eggman are now the three strongest Sonic characters CONFIRMED!!1!11!!!1!1!11!!!!!
I Noticed This Since SA2B Multiplayer Mode She Was Insanely Broken.
I know it doesn't really count as a "power" per se but I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that she's the heart of the team.
While the boys are off doing the actiony stuff, often times she is handling the more sensitive matters relating to compassion, communication, and such.
We see it for the first time in Adventure with Gamma, again in Adv2 with Shadow in the last story, we see it a ton in Sonic X (i know its not canon, but its a good example), Unleashed where she becomes Pickle's assistant, Lost World to a much lesser extent (she seems to be in charge of the small animals' wellbeing after Sonic saves them), Forces where... uh.... (idk, I hate Forces but I know its there) and in the IDW comics with the resistance stuff, and in Frontiers with the Koco.
Recap: Sonic = Speed, Tails = Brain, Knuckles = Strength, Amy = Heart.
Every Team needs a heart, I think that's pretty important.
It's safe to say that her Piko Piko Hammer is only the tip of the iceberg that is all the crazy abilities Amy can pull off. She's definitely one of the strongest characters in the series if she can knock out Knuckles just by lightly shoving him!
