The new Goku clothing and SSGSS Goku wig are promotional items for people who see the movie. They are directly tied to the new movie. I think it's safe to say that's the new name.

Yes, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is not an OFFICIAL name. Dino saw the move on April 11th, and he explains in this video:

The characters might not call it a name in the movie, itself, but official promotional material is naming it SSGSS. Toei and Bandai are calling it that...it is officially named that.

Ye-upp! That's where I heard it! Thank you, I should have linked it. Jonmichael, I would agree that it's probably going to be called SSGSS, though. Kind of like how Ultra Super Saiyan wasn't ever actually named that in the mange or anime, (to my knowledge. I could be wrong!) the fans just dubbed it that because it needed a name.

Rhymestyle made that video almost a week ago, before any of the official promotional content was revealed. He isn't basing it on any official statements by Toei or Bandai, just the fact that it isn't named in the movie itself.
It's nothing like Ultra Super Saiyan, because the source of the name isn't fans. People didn't just make it up. The name is directly from Toei and Bandai. That's about as official as you can get.
The name might be dumb, but that's the name.

Yeah that is true I guess, I doubt Toei will just let the transformation go nameless. I bet it will be something different for the English dub (hopefully).

Bandai and Toei naming it that certainly solidifies it, and it makes it unlike USS. I would argue that Akira Toriyama is as official as you can get, though! But yeah, it sounds like SSGSS is the name we've got for it!

We should probably continue this topic in the "Revival of F" thread because we aren't really talking about the figure anymore, haha!

those photoshops look great SUnicron, really like that GT one.
While I was hoping we would get a Vegeta version of this, I'll prolly still end up ordering Goku. He doesn't look half bad to me. I'm just not the biggest Goku fan so it's hard to purchase his figures lol

Just for the sake of entering the name discussion: The blue-hair form should be called "Super Saiyan God".
The red-hair form should've just been "Saiyan God" or "God mode Saiyan"...since it's technically the new "base form" for a Saiyan with "God-level" strength, powers, abilities, whatever.

Can we just call it Super Saiyan God 2? SSJG2 is better than SSJGSSJsdflsdfmekfmdskvmsd

I actually dislike SSG2 more I think, because that's not really what the form is, and also people will think there will be a SSG3 and so on.

In the movie Goku clearly states that his new form is a super saiyan with the power of a super saiyan god. There is no super saiyan god 2 or 3. It's the same power he had in Battle of Gods, just being used in conjunction with the power of a super saiyan.

This reminds me of that Superman Red Superman Blue electric nonsense from the 90's.

Then what the hell are we gonna call this thing cuz the name it currently has sounds stupid. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, are you serious?! I'm calling is SSG2 until we get something better. SSGSS is just redundant and bleh. I'm hoping it's a terrible translation. We'll know the true name when the box is shown.
