The life auras don't even matter besides 'which one's the strongest one' since the writeup explicitly says they don't come back (meaning the regenerating life aura is like 'oh this was pointless then'). The movesets matter a bit more, though as I recall the only major thing Bass gains from XX form is being faster, and from BX the Sonic Storm move (which is admittedly pretty nice, but kinda pricy to buy a char upgrade for just a speedup and two moves - the other move he gains from BX doesn't matter because it's a Gospel Cannon rehash).

Also, I did some deep deep diving - Bass Omega from MMBN3 does in fact have Vanishing World, it's just that the version that appears there is called 'Bass Omega GS' and it's an absolute fuckin pain in the ass to reach so vids are scarce. The homework tells me that it's probably worth clarifying that Bass Omega GS is included, if only because it has by far the most varied and impressive attacks between the Gospel Claws and Cannon, Bass' usual Explosion, Rake and Nightmare Wheel moves and Vanishing World, plus really good plot hype. But all the essentials are there by default at least. Gravy just sucks at research lol.
