\\\'\\\'\\\"If you\\\'re not sure she\\\'s a Sue yet, she\\\'s not a Sue. And being really good at something or posing a credible threat to a main character is not a Sue.\\\"\\\'\\\'

The post I made said right up front that she was displaying \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' strong traits of the trope, and I only gave her the benefit of the doubt because it\\\'s still very early in the series and Nanoha antagonists have a history of being more complex than they first appear to be (the Wolkenritter for instance).

In regards to the second point, I guess some clarification is needed: Signum is the strongest melee fighter in the Nanoha franchise. Cypha engages her in her area of specialty, breaks her sword \\\'\\\'by being hit with it\\\'\\\', and nearly kills her with a single attack. That\\\'s not a simple case of being good at something or posing a threat to the heroes, that\\\'s a CurbStompBattle that would make [[{{Bleach}} Sosuke Aizen]] proud. Between that and the SuperpowerLottery that makes her immune to the attacks of every single character in the franchise, it sounds to me like Cypha fits the GodModeSue-type VillainSue perfectly.

The post I made said right up front that she was displaying strong traits of the trope, and I gave her the benefit of the doubt by not outright declaring her to be one because it\\\'s still very early in the series and Nanoha antagonists have a history of being more complex than they first appear to be (the Wolkenritter for instance).
