    What's interesting is that there are 3 theories so far on Q and G's connection
    The first (and saddest in context)is that G was turned into Q by Gill.
    The Second is that Q is a follower of G.
    (Somehow with a similar moveset and build and height)
    The third is that Q is a Failed clone of G.
    They're all good and interesting theories

      In SFV, G wants to use the gate of harmony to unite everyone, and says "my voice is your voice". Q's eyes have the same glowing yellow energy as G's skin. Maybe Q isn't a failed clone, but a brainwashed person that G converted into his puppet, and is his intended vision for the rest of humanity. It explains how there are many Qs seen around the world at the same time, and they are seen observing and gathering info. Q's eyes are G's eyes.

  • @KalibreSteelblast

    G- A fighter who believes everybody is one, and therefore he represents the world in all the beauty that he proclaims, exemplifying the best and worst traits of humanity; he sees no antagonists, merely allies with all organizations (even S.I.N., Shadoloo, etc.); incredibly verbose with a clear and loud voice.
    Q- A fighter with no real identity, robotic in appearance and mannerisms, with no apparent traits to speak of besides calmness and silence, considering himself an abomination; appears to have no true allegiances to anybody; voice is muffled and incoherent.
    Interesting parallels.

      Few corrections, would definitely say he isn't robotic in mannerisms since that would imply some sort of rigid movement when Q's moves are very sluggish and crude. Also i would never consider Q to be calm, his moves can be particularly brutal and in his 3rd and last victory animation he walks over to the opponent laying on the floor and repeatedly crushes them under his foot.

      No that's not remotely close
      Q is a different character. They are seperate and way too different. It's been mention in faq that the developers made a joke about g and q being the same. G is someone different. Gills mention his predecessor failed to unite the world and it makes sense if that was g. It also makes sense that q was also either DNA sample that tried to replicate g made by the illuminati or simply a follower inspired by g only a sluggish cyborg due to a incident.

      G says fighting can bring everyone together, so if Q pushes on only remembering that state of mind, he could be fighting in a chance to find help or even an ally to help fix him somehow. I dont even recall if Elena even encountered him, and shes friends with EVERYONE

      I think G is really the avatar of Gaia. Maybe, in some point of his history, he will be captured by Iluminatti or S.I.N who will make some experiences with him, removing the gold from his body and his connection with the power of the Earth. Being an amargured and sollitaire man, trying to make some justice and to reconnect with the Earth.

  • @SunsetSullivan
    @SunsetSullivan 3 роки тому +202

    A really interesting note is that G's b.HK is a brazillian kick, one of the hardest and riskiest moves to pull off in martial arts. The low into a high sweep is meant to disorient your opponent into blocking low while getting clocked along their shoulder and jaw. G pulls it off flawlessly, but Q always puts too much energy into the raise and gets swept. The fact that Q even remembers how to do this might be an indication as to how much of G remains behind his iron mask.

      One thing for sure is G is related to Q, but so far; 99% of people in these comments don't even consider the fact that Q is literally seen in multiple countries at the same time in numerous photos that was being investigated by the CIA (which is a highlighted part of Q's story), and that Q has no face at all underneath that mask (and a bunch of other differences, like Q being black), both of which supporting the idea that G is not Q and at most; Q is either a follower or a creation/replication of G.
      Besides; it'd be really lame if G is actually just Q cuz it's so painfully obvious and pretty much takes away what's most interesting about Q.

    My personal theory is that G somehow did become, “President of the World” in the end, but at a cost. In Third Strike Q is seen all over the world in a short amount of time with no explanation as to how he can be in so many places at once. So maybe G got the power of the Earth or of the People idk but it fragmented him, which causes him to be much less controlled and more reckless. He still aims for his ultimate goal, being “President of Everything” which is why he still remains a Street Fighter, and why in some of his battle intros people are seen running from him, because he is trying to use them to attain this title.

    One idea I don't see much is that instead of them being the same person or a clone, Q is being sort of _puppeted_ BY G, or by another party utilizing G's powers. After all, G does go on about unity and having everyone follow him. The golden/yellow glow to Q's eyes could conceivably be an indication that G's abilities are being used somehow. There's so little to go off of that it's not much more out there than other theories.

    The only piece of evidence, I can think of, that might disprove this theory is the fact that Q shows up in Ken's stage in SF2 which is referenced in Q's third strike ending. Since SFV takes place after SF2, how could Q exist before G? It's a small detail, so it could easily be red conned, because the theory that G becomes a tortured experiment of the illuminatti is pretty reasonable since they've tested on other humans before like Necro. But, a small part of me still hopes that G and Q are different people, and that they are apart of something more.
    EDIT: the Third Strike ending, I realize now, was a different boat than the one from SF2. So, no SF2 Ken stage reference in his ending.

    • @Carlos-ln8fd

    Here's another slight thing many will overlook, is that you can kind of hear Q saying something when he wins sometimes, he says something like "Huh...

    There are old docs from Capcom back in the third strike days that show Q as just a big British dude with his mask off, which is why if you select Q vs Q you play on Dudley's stage with the Q theme playing.

  • @vulcan422
    @vulcan422 6 років тому +125

    Given this information, as well as other things apparent about G, here is my theory.
    G's powers are a reference to Asura's Wrath. At the end of that game, there's an epilogue portion where it shows the characters reincarnated into the modern world. In Asura's Wrath, the main enemies are demons that come from the Earth itself and use magma powers, called the Gohma. Their "leader", so to speak, is known as Gohma Vlitra, and is known as "The Will of Gaea". G constantly talks about having the power of Gaea and the Earth. It's possible he may be a reincarnation of the Gohma in some way, or perhaps even Chakravartin, the true mastermind who created the Seven Deities, Mantra energy, and the Gohma.
    Naturally, his powers could draw the attention of people interested in utilizing them for their own purposes. People such as the Secret Society/Illuminati. Gaea represents the powers of Earth and Wind. Gill has the powers of Fire and Ice (Water). Urien has the powers of Metal and Lightning. These are considered the six natural elemental forces, a belief especially prevalent in Asia. It's possible that the Secret Society may end up kidnapping G, and either killing him or brainwashing him. We've already seen what their resurrection technique entails as shown by Nash. It's possible that Q is a resurrected and/or brainwashed G. Resurrected is more likely, however, because Q animates like a zombie, or even a robot, and his skeleton as shown in 3rd Strike is actually robotic in nature. G may have suffered extensive damage, and the resurrection process damages him even more, leaving him in a severely crippled, but alive state where he has little to no motion control and is on life support through his cybernetic enhancements.

    My take on this is that, in Q’s ending in 3.3, they suggest there might be multiple person in trench coats all around the world. It’s not impossible given what we know that Q are henchmen of G, hence the similar moveset, and their presence all around the globe (as G calls himself President of The World).

    In SF3, Q’s ending, Q was considered a prime suspect of 12 murders all across the world in 10 days. The things could help prove or disprove some “G = Q” theories is: the people that were killed, the connections (if any) they’ve had to one another, if Q actually killed them, and if there is more than one Q. These are things that I don’t see a lot of people taking account for.

Q is trying to mimic his master, but lacks G’s expertise, similar to how the shadaloo soldiers try and fail to do M.Bison’s psycho crusher.

      Edit actually around 30 but you can see blonde hair in the neck in a lot of animations if you watch closely. If it was just shading, it wouldn't use a light yellow having browns in the pallet (like the ones they use for the rest of the neck)

      Javi A secas no it is there. It is a light yelloe spot. Not the same as the khaki/tan trench coat, this is most likely G

    And thats why Q sheds a tear sometimes. He is trapped, and hes unwillingly hurting people

    What I found interesting about Q's shock animation on 3rd strike is that if you look on the top of his head you can see something that looks like a bullet hole. If it is maybe that's the cause of his clumsy movements.

    G is Fluid and stylish
    While Q seems undead poorly mimicking G’s attacks

    With SfV's Gill story now out. A good guess would be that G could've been used as a basis for Twelve clones to be made mimicking G's moves, explaining their clumsy execution

    My theory is G loses his powers to Gill and Kolin gives her to Gill respectively. Without his fire, he becomes "hollow" or "heavy".

      G's power is not fire is earth, the "fire" only exists in Dangerous President V-Trigger, and it's not fire but magma, which also correlates to earth.

    Wasn't there a pose on g's other v-skill which resembles q's taunt more?

    • @DJ_AwesomeSauce

      Yeah, the second pose of V-Skill 2 is exactly the same, and that V-Skill functions like Q's taunt in 3S, giving defense.
