Yeah, it looks like the only hope for SC4 Amy's style at this point is either Raph getting some of her moves, or maybe DLC, but that's stretching it. Not that I have a problem with Viola, she looks really cool, just... Amy is my main and I'm really going to miss her.

Over at 8wayrun.com, there's a really mean-spirited "funeral" thread for her started by an admin. That's a tourney community, though, and apparently Amy is loathed by any "serious" players because she's "overpowered". "Overpowered" being defined as frame advantage and a bunch of other pedantic nonsense that no one who actually plays this series to have fun could possibly care about.

Another issue with these weird fighting styles, though, is that it's a lot harder to use them for custom characters. I know none of mine have any use for the "claw and energy orb" style, nor the "reverse sword + phantom wolf" style. I suppose Raphael is still there for the elegant swords(wo)men out there, but he'd better be improved from SC4! :p
