  • Name: Q
    Series: Street Fighter (Video Game)
    Notable Appearances: Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
    If there's one character who truly stands out from the rest of the Street Fighter cast it's Q. Virtually nothing is known about him and because of that it opens up the gateways for speculation and theorising.
    Just who is the person behind that mask? And for that matter, do we really want to know?
    Q Theme remix by Sir J - uvsirj.bandcamp.com/album/who...
    Q belongs to Street Fighter and Capcom.

    There is another angle that can be looked at when it comes to Q. His quotes are generally garbled grunts, but one of the quotes could be translated as "I am...abomination." This could hint that whatever Q is, he did not become it willingly, which would add the whole "Tragic Monster" aspect to his character. It's possible that he is looking for the ones who made him what he was, and he's involved in the World Warrior tournament because he's hoping to find leads there.

    Q's design is straight out of the old-school manga style of creators like Osamu Tezuka, Mitsuteru Yokoyama, and Shotaro Ishinomori. Additionally, those creators often used robot or cyborg characters in their manga. It was fairly typical of those creators to introduce a robot or cyborg character into a story whose true origin, motivation, and goal remained a mystery for some time before being eventually revealed. I think someone at Capcom is paying homage to those creators with the inclusion of Q in the Street Fighter universe. If the mystery behind Q is ever revealed, it's a good bet that he'll turn out to be a cyborg, based on all of the small clues you noticed.

    Q has and always will be my favorite character to play as in Street Fighter. I'm not kidding, this photo for my profile has been my ID for everything since I was 13.
    I'm 21 now but back when I was growing up. My cousin didn't play games anymore and gave me his old console with SF3 3rd Strike as a the main fighter for me. I never really feel in sync with none of the characters... not until I tried Q. I was a pretty whimpy kid but man... seeing a character with NO formal fighting style. It just clicked with me. I played as Q at least once ever time I loaded the game up. Even in my local arcade, the employees remember me as "Q" than my real name.
    Q has been the character I've been asking for years... I still wait for its return...

      I am 19 and got 3rd Strike only recently after a long time of SFII Turbo and immediately had to look up more about him. I am not really familiar with the lore of SF yet but after getting all the endings possible in the game, Q and his ending were stuck in my mind so I had to look this video up.
      I really care for Q as he is such a unique character and while I do not mainly play as him (nor am I even good at playing him) I seriously hope he returns, if not for me than I hope he does for you.

    Based on the timeline and his shock animation, it could be that Q (whether being one being or a unit) is either a prototype or a malfunctioning S.I.N. Android like Abel and Seth. The height is consistent, it would explain the robotic movements despite breathing, and this wouldn't be the first time those Androids had gained autonomy that they weren't meant to have.

    So like your ending suggested, SFV is indeed an opportunity to expand upon the character and just a few days ago now the character G was revealed who shares 3 things with Q: a single letter name, one of his alternate costumes is 100% Q's costume, and if you compare their frame data (another youtube video does this) they share a plethora of near identical animations. G is almost as much a mystery as Q in that there is no real story given for his background but there is a face and personality this time. G is revealed to be represented by the tarot card Fool which is sort of the wildcard, unpredictable and of infinite potentials.
    Given that SFV canonically takes place BEFORE third strike, i would like to put forward some theory crafting. G MUST be in some way/shape/form related to Q if not actually being Q outright as an earlier incarnation. I have always preferred the theory of Q being a cyborg as human makes zero sense, and robot has too many unresolved questions that cyborg neatly solves. G invokes the elements of earth and fire in his attacks, and the latter element of fire is shared with Gill who also possesses ice powers akin to Kolin (his secretary you see in the intro to the Gill final boss fight). This i believe is no mere coincidence. Gill, i believe, achieves his ice and fire powers by taking them from Kolin and G and in the process of doing this we get Q. G for whatever unexplained reason, was made into Q as a result of surrendering his powers to Gill. This could explain Q's guilt (his sighs and victory poses), his sloppy and more animatronic (when compared to G) animations that are more like a robotic amalgamation of the G original animations, the Q costume being a means to disguise his true identity as G from the world post-change, and his muttering "abomination" sometimes after wining a round. The mystery of bring around the world at nearly the same time will likely be ignored or could be sci-fi explained by a variety of reasons, the simplest of which is teleportation which is a typical trope of robots/cyborgs. As for seeking out the world's best fighters, that could either be a mission that Q lacks the agency to control or it could be explained as G (having become Q) seeking to end his existence by engaging with powerful fighters and being disappointed that his combat AI keeps winning (sort of like a mind trapped in an artificial body you can't actually control with your thoughts).

    I imagine Q is a lettered hitman or overseer. With G now released and the fact that he fights exactly like Q, I imagine Q is one of many recreations of G. Either G made/leads them or G is the fully functional form of the design. Maybe there is an L, H, Z etc. Just a letter in place of a model number like Hitman agent 47.

      @Jaune Brando1776 There's a really good comparison of their movesets where you can see that G and Q have basically the same moves yet Q's are more clumsy. The theory is that Q is some kind brainwashed G or maybe a robot trying to copy his techniques.

    I always felt he fought people who he felt were monsters and stomped upon their head when they were defeated but sighed in remorse for those he felt were misguided in the attempt to stop him. In other words, he hates being a monster, but doesnt want their to be a monster worse than him to exist in the world. Consider it an oddly interperted for of justice

    Q reminds me of the cyborg from the Street Fighter II original anime. The similarities and motives are the same. Both robots scouting fighters and being seen in the background. He could/should be one of M. Bisons creations because he had multiple cyborgs in the movie. They move autonomously through the world and could still be following programming after Shadowlaw's fall in SFIII canon.

    Q is one of the few rare characters with a design quite like his, but others do exist: The Question from DC Comics(who is probably more enigmatic in the JLU cartoon), Rorschach from Watchmen, and Onomatopoeia, an obscure Green Arrow villain who was sadly replaced with Mr. Blank in Arrow. Robot Detective K doesn't rock a trenchcoat or fedora(Onomatopoeia is technically hatless I admit, but he has no backstory just like Q and JLU cartoon version of The Question).

    See, my personal theory is that Bison, without any Dolls/Seth's left to try and transfer his body to at the end of Street Fighter V, instead uses shady underground robotics to keep himself alive, but sadly removing his humanity (mostly) and all he knows is fighting. The mecha-Bison in SF4 costume DLC is pretty much my only evidence with it.
    Otherwise, great video! It's amazing how much you can extrapolate from one game.

    • @DiGiValentine
      @DiGiValentine  8 років тому +4

      +Goodbye18000 That was another theory i've seen mentioned a few times over the years, and one i did believe in back in the day. I'm not entirely sure if i could go with it now though. I think earlier on in the series before there was any Street Fighter 4 maybe that theory held up a lot more because Street Fighter 3 was it's own spot in time, it did a lot of things fighting games never do these days (i.e change 90% of the cast). With the way fighting games are now these days i wouldn't expect Capcom to ever write such a popular character like Bison in to a position where he's no longer playing as the Dictator with a Dictator move-set (too many people main him and i think Capcom would fear a backlash if they ever did something drastic like that with Bison).
      That being said though, since uploading this video i'm starting to feel Q might belong to Seth and the S.I.N organisation. Maybe.
      Guess we'll have to wait and see on it though.

    I just assume Q is Chun-Li's father. I mean even if it isn't cannon, it's the most logical explanation I can come up with. The detective design screams it, and I believe he was experimented on by Shadaloo, and either he was sent out to gather info on other fighters, or he broke out of whatever facility he was being held in and escaped. Either way, by SF3 time, Shadaloo is defunct, so he just wanders around, unaware of who he really is. Far as his motives go, that still remains a mystery.

      sounds like to me is he trying to piece his past back together. Appearing at different murder crimes at roughly the same time. (Possibly a new found power perhaps). Which is the reason why he's able to get into fights with various fighters around the globe. Plus it's gonna be hard for someone like C. Viper to track him since he really doesn't stay at one place for long. Kinda like Ryu but his presence is a lot shorter than Ryu's. Boom...
