[@carlossalazar9154]

But his mission would be known, Q wants to stay hidden to make sure that he stays a giant question mark

[@L1701]

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.

[@lobster6736]

You where (probably) right

[@dennisroy6282]

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.

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 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.

[@L1701]

According to TV Tropes, there is an UDON comic that hints that Q may have been Chun-Li's father, after being experimented on by Shadoloo after M. Bison killed him.

I mean, G kinda throws even more smoke up. The two are clearly connected in some way. That much is clear from a hell of a lot of their normals having similar animations, with G being smoother and more refined. Is Q a depowered G? Is Q a robot duplicate of G created for unknown means? Is G a robot? Was Q a prototype for G? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE‽

[@MaximumBloop]

@@DeisFortuna Q is future G after the Illuminati removes him from his spot as the president. He takes his revenge on them by stomping their faces in. He also is dying of the power he used for so long to fight with, which is why he wears the mask. It keeps him alive and anonymous

@@zenith1040 yeah, so fun fact: unless you explicitly destroy all your prototypes, it's still possible for them to leak/get out into the world after you make the finished product. Q could literally have been a predecessor to G, but nobody knew he(?) existed until 3S happened.

[@Toomnyusernae]

You're damn right Eternal Champions needs a reboot.

[@phoenixlich]

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).

[@SubjectZero05YT]

@Victor Why do you think that?

[@RotaAbyssian]

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.

[@Projectsoul477]

Keep it classy.

[@Whimsycott]

The word 'question' is frequently abbreviated as just the letter Q. You've probably seen it before. Whether that was intentional or not, I think that makes the letter a very fitting name for this character. It's essentially the more pronouncable alternative to being named a question mark.

[@cocobean3154]

this intro was great!

[@cribbibalibba2383]

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.

[@MirrorSurfer]

You're incredibly talented at what you do. The length you go into editing, music score, and traveling for shots just for a character with literally no background is truly amazing. I hope to see more of these in the future with more fighting game characters.

[@mgoVEX]

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.

[@sunlightFrequency]

+Dev Copper I support this theory

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.

[@SMASHTBTV]

Just realized this was made 7Years ago... Q just randomly stood out to me becoming my favorite character, just naturally drawn to the mystery

[@TannerOfTheNorth]

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]

+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.

[@IAMTHESTARMAN]

You're absolutely right with the Robot Detective K comparison. The story of RDK is that he is a robot who dresses in human-like clothes and solves mysteries. It's pretty much implied to be the exact case with Q. In the very last frame of this video it shows the following headline on the newspaper on the wall: "ROBODEKK-Q" That is pretty much telling us that we are dealing with a robot detective.

[@ignaciothunderbach4923]

Now that G is out in SFV, watching this video again brings things into a little more perspective. Q and G share A LOT of animations, and similar techniques. The plot thickens....

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

Ignacious Thunderbach doesn't mean they are the same character just stop with the bullshit

[@NinjaWorldWarrior16]

The Programmer of video games What do you mean... this is not the first time Capcom are doing that. In SFIV, Viper had Captain Commando's moves, meaning CC and SF share the same universe. In SFV, Zeku has Strider Hiryu's moves. And now G has Q's moves. Capcom are trying to show that there's a connection. They might not be the same character, though, but G could become one of Q's eventually, which is probably why SFIII has Q instead.

[@Avenger85438]

Now we have G. A perfect foil for Q in every way.

[@mattwo7]

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.

I got a street fighter commercial before the video

[@Redblaze27]

We got info that Crimson Viper is supposed to be heading the case on tracking Q.

[@MetalGaiden96]

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.

[@EnderTitan]

That's the hypest friggin' explanation anyone could ever come up with. I want THAT to be canon, OFFICIALLY. I love Q already, and I definitely want to see more of him.

[@parissaxton5094]

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...

[@AHam-tp5xz]

I would love to see a "who dat?" On G

[@SubjectZero05YT]

@Victor Why are you getting so aggressive?

[@l0sts0ul89]

The worst part is he could be anyone, he could be you! He could be me! He could even be-

[@elfmonster3082]

Plot Twist: Q is Dan's father.

[@yamchadoidaosqn411]

Elf Monster ....

[@vassel6643]

Umm...

[@jenniferjackson7971]

@elf master......no way?!?!

[@WalrusStu]

This is the video that got me to main Q in 3rd Strike. Very well put together.

[@ounaku]

Q who dat? G!

[@Chill_Derp_]

Uploaded this on my birthday! Thanks man!!

[@blacksunshine7485]

Cool character. Loved 3s art style and edgy character design. Maybe hes the same Q from Star Trek lol

[@vc31100]

Great video man, loved it!

[@DiGiValentine]

+Vytis Leonavicius Thanks for watching it, yo! ~

[@062289Devilnuts]

My theory is that Q is part of a series of cyborgs created from corpses by Shadaloo, and that since Shadaloo is gone, he and the others are acting on their own. This would explain why the name "Q", and the whole enigma of him being in several places simultaneously.

[@062289Devilnuts]

The only problem I see with the theory I have is this... what makes Q special amongst all of the other cyborgs? Maybe Capcom thought that of all the letters of the alphabet, that Q sounded more mysterious. Maybe he's the only cyborg that has regained self-awareness after the fall of Shadaloo? Maybe I'm not even close with my theory?

[@chickenpermissiontheshaved75]

yo I thought the same thing

[@parissaxton5094]

your theory is great. whomever is "Q" has some kind of connection to the existing characters. Maybe the conscious bank had glitch in which case made one of the corpse to regain some consciousness of his actions. As for the other "Qs" theory is that they're the MIA fighters around the globe that went before the events of Street Fighter 4. Whether it's of the Shadoloo, S.I.N. Corp, the Illuminati, or whole different group...or maybe they're just acting as a collective...like a hive.

[@kagato0987]

Now that G was released in SF 5 and the fact that their move animations are so similar - you have more info. The rumor is already out that Q is a brainwashed G when SF3S occurs. Brainwashed by whom or whether thats true is interesting

[@brodie481]

Yo thats crazy Bc now “G” is on sfv and he is basically q lol

[@BRANMiiNO_Animations]

LONDON BOIII!! Yh digi! It's always awesome to see there's a new episode, I'm gonna go ahead and tell my mates its out. ^_^

[@DiGiValentine]

+Branmiino Amv LDN, BABY!! XD Lol, thanks man. I'm glad you're still tuning in to the series, thank you so much. And furthermore, thanks for informing your mates too! I appreciate the promotion! Cheers :)

[@kingeien5924]

Maybe... he's the president of the world

[@SnipingIsFun]

Given G is somehow connected to Q we will probably get some backstory in SFV.

[@aitamopoldaccount1497]

I think that Q's mission is to get rid if all mutants, when he defeats Twelve or Necro, he stomps the head on the head of them.

[@gizmo123473]

I have two questions this time, and since I've run out of compliments for right now, I feel that I should ask right away. Question 1: Have you had people who have insulted your work yet? Question 2: Will you do any characters like Q again? I did say this before, but I hope that you will continue this series and do a great job at it. I know that this is an odd way to write a comment, but this is how I write.

[@DiGiValentine]

+gizmo123473 Answer to question 1 - Yup. Ever since the first episode i did on Chun-Li. It happens because the internet is a big place with differences of opinions, it's always going to happen no matter who you are. It happened right here in this videos comments section already, lol. You can't win everyones respect! Answer to question 2 - I might. Depends on the character. I really enjoyed speaking about Q because it allowed me investigate the character more than i normally do for regular characters. We'll have to see what other types of characters i bump in to along the way, if another opportunity arises for me to investigate a character again then i will :) Thank you very much for continuing to watch the series, i'm glad to hear you like it! And no trouble with your comment, it was written just fine! Thanks! :)

[@JacksonJinn]

15 minutes and still no closer to any true answers on Q. Yeah, proof positive you're a king of these videos when you can do so much with so little. On the flip side I'd have to wonder what you'd do with a character who, arguably, has too much characterization... Like Sasuke from Naruto. Too long a series, too much focus from the author, and too many contradicting motivations. Still. Love all these videos you've done thus far especially with the focus on characters that not everyone may be loving as much as they should. Lookin' at you, Sean.

[@DiGiValentine]

+JacksonJin Haha, thanks for continuing to watch the show! XD In regards to characters with too much characterization, ya know it will probably happen at some point. One of the reasons i'm kinda sitting around these series of characters is because for this show being in it's early stages it's easier for me to cover characters with not too much over-depth to them, so i can keep video uploads consistent. If this show grows or reaches a point where i'm able to spend time really looking in to characters with loads more depth and/or over-characterization then i'll definitely do that. I mean, the characters from One Piece are something i would love to talk about ...but holy shit that show is still going and the characters are still being developed even after 700+ episodes, ya know? XD In short, yes i would love to tackle some of those kinds of characters, and if this show continues to grow then eventually there'll come a point when i will finally be able to give characters like that the time they need :)

[@genericstickman5967]

Q is a Q

[@dubzdaboi6861]

Re watching after the G reveal!!!! Cheers!!!!

[@darielsanchez2071]

Everyone's always asking *who* is Q? But no one ever asks *how* is Q?

[@mrmusickhimself]

WHY is Q?

[@thegoose8663]

Well. He has speach and movement problems. I think he is fine.

[@Shadeprint]

Dope video, used to play a lot of 3rd Strike, with Q as my main and never noticed the lack of bones!

[@valentine5202]

Can't wait for the G Who dat

[@GabrielHernandez-rj4oo]

Yaaaaay!! An episode about Q!!!!

[@mox95CrazySongz]

Definitely not G. In my opinion there are several cyborg Q. Maybe G was used to create Q #mindfuck

[@DrickRT]

i love the quality of your work

[@StartersofRage]

You...may want to do a part 2 seeing as how G was just released in SFV. *peep the story costume*

[@Daboy804]

StartersofRage I think Q is G after he was experimented on by the Illuminati. Maybe he was a first attempt at their human experiments or a resurrection and hates what he's become. That's y he hunts down monsters related to the Illuminati experiments like himself and kills them. Maybe the 10 murders he's wanted for are 10 failed shapeshifters like 11 and 12.

[@DESTRAKON]

Damn it's already been 4 years since this came out..

[@bensierras6849]

why did capcom even created q even though he has no background story

[@Darkshreaders]

maybe in a future game that he will appear in he will have more plot maybe being more frankenstein in personality and just helping whoever he helps to do his really vague unknown goal

[@VKeiri]

I thoroughly enjoyed all the B roll in this one. :) Mysterious mood setting! ... and then there is Lynne's desk... XD

[@rk9515]

Does Q only step on the heads of antagonist?.

[@SensesEU]

Had to come back and watch this after G came out

[@thomasserrano8728]

I feel like with the release of "G" in sfv Q might be the same "species" as G. In Q's case in 3rd strike he may have lost his memory not truly understanding who or what he is other than "an abomination"(the only spoken words Q says after a win) But hey who knows, the only real fact we have is that both Q and G are great characters in the SF world.

[@VJFranzK]

It's interesting that he's animated as a much heavier character than the others, he definitely is a cyborg, because robots don't breathe. He also moves in a bewildered way - he isn't used to controlling a partially metallic, super strong but slow body.

[@AceofClubsART]

I’ve heard q is g from the future

[@mohamedyouseftaher5222]

Different fighting styles plus the only clue we have is a costume

[@bobsav76]

The first third strike character I ever played. Q, truly the oddest of the bods. Now put him in street fighter 5, I command it!

[@bobsav76]

Well, we didn't get Q, but we did get G, so... Getting closer.

[@bobsav76]

@Vi Soares So do I, he's cool. Like Frankenstein's monster meets Inspector gadget.
