Omega

Swapping to another char but it is still vanilla, then you are still working in what consider "balance" in the game. If one character from the same roster do worse vs someone than the other, then either you choose the worse matchup, or you didn't play the character that good.

Backsway work vs grab and other quick melee options, and it outright beat grab and grab tech attempt.

Reversal work as much as Ninja DP work, and you don't get punish for trying to get a grab tech by jumping because its f11.

You say 12-16 iasa as "very costly" and "massive", while you won't find any offense from Omega that have iasa lower than 12.

Your arguement is quite "I lose on this if they do that", then just read the "that" option. Not all moves can beat DP, not all move can hit backdash, and not all move can hit jump.

Swapping to another char isn't a good point because of the inability to see what char is being picked before the game starts

Backsway doesn't work because of the incredibly safe reversal option, even a 10-ish speed boosted backsway wasn't able to out-range it. Backsway is also 12 frames which is very costly

Shuriken doesn't work because of how difficult it is to pull it off safely, with the move costing a massive 16 frames. Even if you land a hit, at best it's going to give you a pretty bad combo starter

Boosting requires you to have momentum to begin with, which is already extremely dangerous against a char with this much range and safe attacking options. Disregarding that, the char's reversal move pretty much shuts down most attempts at boosted plays

During the fight I was completely unable to disengage because of how oppressive this char is in close-range. Omega's moves are too fast, too safe, and offer far too much range for any of my options as Ninja to be feasible.

Or you could play cowboy and hslash

If you were ninja, get close and you have a dp and a backsway to bait out aggression or grab

Far away and you can set up stack shuriken, or boost, or anything.

Ninja strength is ability to disengage, if you really agrue about ability to compete on a hitbox vs hitbox match... just pick cowboy.

Fought this char as Ninja a few minutes ago

I was completely unable to land a hit. Omega has a multitude of close-range options that cause extreme amounts of block-stun, as well as a reversal option with a large range that can be flipped. The only weakness I noticed was that the char doesn't seem to have many good air moves, but the ground moveset is already so insanely fast and oppressive that I can't see Ninja winning ANY fights against Omega.

I also agree with Giga. The vanilla chars and most modded chars have weaknesses that can be worked around by using their kit in smart ways. As a Ninja player I'm sometimes at a blatant disadvantage against chars with more ranged capability. Having to work around that disadvantage often makes my matches much more fun and engaging. When fighting against InklessBrush's chars, the overwhelming feeling I get in most of my matches is "there is nothing I can do to fight this" due to the sheer lack of exploitable weaknesses.

Otomia, you do indeed have the freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean freedom of consequence when what you're saying is a load of hot garbage. now please go and have your meltdown elsewhere.

free speech came everyone else is free to laugh at your speech, understand that

The qualification to make balance statements came free with your purchase of the game, dipshit. Everyone has it.

can you make Zero he says his iconic line:"Ware Wa Meshia Nari! Ha Ha Ha!" at the start of the game? Either voice line or just some text above the character will be such a big fanservice update

Giga I saw you roll in neutral from midrange, try to use magic dart as a meaty?? You are not qualified to make balance statements

this recent update to Omega is awesome and feels nice to be play the robot antichrist again.
also, did I missed someone having a massive skill issue in the comments below me?
