If you aren't just talking about 2nd form you're incredibly wrong, so I'll assume we're just talking about who's the best generalist.

Gaia can't be used for the many enemies who have 400 or more standing range, this already makes her useful in a smaller number of general stages. Then, we add in gaos wave immune and that's another advantage. Ofc, there's also her bad survivability, tiny ld, and multihit. She honestly acts like a niche unit, she either destroys a stage before her weaknesses can kill her, or she dies before doing a whole lot of anything.

There are too many stages that she can't work on for her to be a better generalist than Gao. You may say 30k dps is insane so all that doesn't matter. However, gao's stats are enough to beat any of the generalist stages you can bring him too, gaia does this, but she has too few stages that she works on.

She's still A+ or S tier, just worse then Gao.

Ubercarry strawman, anyone who thinks like you've described has the iq of a toad.
