Title says SSGSS Goku yet in the article it states....

Quote:
People who pre-order the game digitally will receive early access to Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta


Where's the consistency? The game in Japan and overseas is using the terminology from the movies as shown throughout numerous trailers, magazines, etc., which is the source material. If they were going to call it SSB, which is exclusive to Super then they would have from the start.

The video games and other official merchandise prefer Super Saiyajin God Super Saiyajin over Super Saiyajin Blue. After all, Super Saiyajin Rosé is just another Super Saiyajin God Super Saiyajin, but just in pink.

I myself prefers Super Saiyajin God Super Saiyajin, since it tells exactly what it is, while Blue is just a olor. And Rosé is intended as a mockery name to the naming scheme of Blue.

Anyway, Super Saiyajin Blue is just the shortened nickname to Super Saiyajin God Super Saiyajin, but both terms are official.

I still don't understand how a super saiyan god goes super saiyan. The writers could have easily thought of a shortened term for that form.

Does this mean the the red super saiyan god is the 'normal' super saiyan god and not just Saiyan God? There are too many adjectives being added on to these names.

Besides the confusing terminology, I enjoyed seeing Goku doing a 1-inch punch as a super saiyan.

As Goku described it, Super Saiyajin God Super Saiyajin is a regular Super Saiyajin with God ki tapped into it. To put it bluntly, it is the Super Saiyajin God version of Super Saiyajin 1.
