For one the connections are just all so wrong, they're super vague and don't go into what makes either interesting. Omega's being a parody of what Zero is and his legacy and Cell being a perfect lifeform who reflects Goku's desire to fight and being an embodiment of his mistakes catching up with him. These might seem comparable but they just aren't, their relationship with the protagonists and their roles in the story just do not compare. Not to mention the potential sucks, just look at the them fighting and you'll see what I mean. You have Omega who's a sword fighter with many different forms vs Cell who's a super fast hand to hand fighter. Sure they might be able to throw beams at each other but that's the least interesting thing you can do with these two. This matchup seems alright when you first look at it, but the more you thiunk about it the worst it gets.

Dark Samus is pretty simple, it's just doesn't understand what Dark Samus is. Dark Samus is not a dark version of Samus it is simply a virus that wants to destroy things, not comparable to Omega at all. Metal Sonic I just find boring, like sure they're robot clones of the protagonists but it doesn't go into what Omega represents to Zero at all. Omega is a parody of the hero that Zero is, he is a legend made real without understanding what makes Zero who he is. Metal just doesn't play into that at all.

Goku Black would be bottom tier that sounds bad, Kuja's alright actually I don't hate it

Interesting take on Omega Zero, explain why the likes of Mephiles, Nova Prime and even Knives are good for Omega Zero.

Mephiles is good for Omega because he's very much also a parody of what Shadow is and who he is, literally taking his appearance but twisting it. Their roles of challenging the protagonist by making them question their place as heroes of the world is super interesting, not to mention their desires to want to exist and replace the heroes. It also had good comparisons like The Dark Elf and Solaris and the potential is super good.

Nova Prime does something similar with being a parody of the hero especially when he becomes Nemesis Prime, there's also his role in the Cybertronian War with compares well with Omega in the Dark Elf Wars.

Knives is not good at all for Omega that matchup is pretty bad

Interesting. But I’d use the term “Dark Reflection” than “Parody” to describe the connections between Omega and Mephiles and Nemesis/Nova Prime.

(Also, I realized you had XDive Omega Zero as an opponent for Knives.)
