About this mod
Simple Rules-based Names---This really improves the experience!
For example, instead of an absurd name like "Goku (Super), Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan," it'd just be "Goku, Super Saiyan Blue."
Check the rules and some examples below--hit up the comments for the full list of names.

Installation is easy and quick with Unverum Download.
Manual installation causes issues with the names in Rule #3.1, that’s why I recommend using Unverum—it’s straightforward and ensures everything works as intended.
Give it a try in the game, this really improves the character select experience!
This is my first "mod"---I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you've got any feedback or an alternative name for a character/form, let me know. (Just remember not to add/remove stuff like brackets and "under-text" if you want to stay within the rules).
