I'm (sort of) surprised there's no thread for Omega yet. Are you all afraid to use it? LOL

MF Omega (Barrage Mode) Unicorno TR145RF vs. MF-H Phantom Aquario AD145WD

Most of Phantom's wins in both sets of results were a result of wall saves.

I thought it was odd that Assault Mode would be so far inferior, so I conducted ten more tests with Barrage Mode ...

It must have been the RF, I guess? I switched it out for another one and did ten more tests with each mode:

As I suspected, Barrage Mode still ended up being slightly better. The set up of Barrage Mode is better than Assault Mode, I think. In Assault Mode, the protrusions/wings of the Metal Frame sit between both the rounded protrusion of the Core and the sloped one. In Barrage Mode, the wings of the Metal Frame sit directly on top of the sloped protrusions of the Core, allowing for a thicker, more concentrated attack point, rather than having it spread out like it is in Assault Mode.
Mind you, this is simply a hypothesis. I'd love to hear what other people think once they've experimented with both modes.
Also, I didn't bother recording any tests against RDF because the the movement it does have usually inhibits Omega's ability to make any strong hits, and any hits it is able to make are neutralized by the grip it has.

No contest. Omega KOed Fusion with ease, even at a low spin velocity.
MF Omega (Barrage Mode) Unicorno TR145RF vs. MF-H Death Aquario BD145CS
MF Omega Unicorno TR145RF: 1 win
MF-H Death Aquario BD145CS: 9 wins

Need more tests against Death ... it seems odd that it was able to KO Duo as much as it did, while struggling against Death.
Keep in mind that for the next two sets of results, Basalt was not launched at 100% so that it would not move excessively. If I had shot it at 100% and Basalt had circled the Tornado Ridge, Omega would likely have done worse:

So, Omega does have some respectable Smash Attack. Not great, but respectable. To make it work, you absolutely have to shoot as hard as possible, and you have to know how to bank really well. It has no real sharp Smash Attack points like VariAres does–which is both a good and a bad thing–and the wings are smooth for the most part, unlike Blitz's. The design is similar to Lightning actually (what a surprise); both have six wings and most of them are relatively smooth.
It did surprisingly well against MF-H Duo Cancer BD145CS, but it was by no means easy, and I was probably a bit lucky too!
And in case you're wondering: I used Unicorno and TR145 because they have good synergy with Omega. Unicorno lines up perfectly with the wings of the Metal Frame in Barrage Mode (the sharp point at the end of each "horn" is exposed as well, which could potentially add more Smash Attack), and TR145 is close to doing the same. I chose TR145 over R145 because it's more compact and fits more snugly up against the Metal Wheel, thus increasing spin velocity, which is necessary to maximize the performance of Omega. It might be interesting to see some people test it with R145, though!
