Topic: Tag alias: starfall_super_sonic -> Super_Sonic_2

The tag alias #80995 starfall_super_sonic -> super_sonic_2 is pending approval.

Reason: "Starfall Super Sonic" appears to be an unofficial name of the transformation. Despite the form not having an officially announced name, internally the form is referred to as "Super Sonic 2" within the game files of Sonic Frontiers and also appears to be the most common name among the community. The internal naming may possibly be a reference to the Super Saiyan 2 transformation, seeing as Super Sonic was already an homage to the Super Saiyan transformation.

"Starfall Super Sonic" is backed up by Ian Flynn (source, 18:19). He also describes it as an internal name. In all official contexts it's described as "powered-up Super Sonic" or something like that. I don't think either name has much credence over the other.

Oh shoot, really? All the wikis I visit seem to use the name "Super Sonic 2" as the title and figured that if it's in the game files and not explicitly named as "Starfall Super Sonic" outside of an interview, then I feel like it'd a bit of a grey area, you know?

My personal preference is Starfall Super Sonic since it's more specific and descriptive. "Starfall Super Sonic" is specifically Super Sonic powered up by the cyber energy of the Starfall Islands but "Super Sonic 2" could describe any powered up form of Super Sonic. I guess it doesn't really matter until they do another Super Sonic sidegrade at which point it could become vague.
