The Mystery of G - The Real Final Boss !? - A Street Fighter Character Documentary (2017 - 2022)

[@ignaciojohnjoy]

Ngl, Im kinda disappointed that "Top Hat" Gaming, didnt tip his Top Hat for the class this Top Hat wearing Over the Top President is wearing

[@B5s4]

Bc real doesn’t recognize NOT real

[@daison96]

I always liked the theory Q is actually G, defeated by Gill in SFV, returning in SF3 as a distorted version of his former self. Please dive into Q.

[@ajones6899]

Aha cool theory but I doubt it's correct cause of one of gill quotes when he beats him

[@daison96]

@@ajones6899 What quote?? I stopped playing that horrible game, but I enjoy the characters.

[@ajones6899]

@@daison96 3rd strike he says something along the lines of "even I in all of my glory am at a loss, who are you?" And urien has one too where its something like "I could give the the faintest interest of your true identity " but twelve has one which is "it can't be?!" So it's probably something going on behind there back of the leaders which it pretty cool

I'd love it if he dived into Q!

[@SotNist]

G is one of the most fun characters to play in Street Fighter V. His whole concept and look is just rad af. Great mechanics.

[@dynamicentry6808]

G is still shrouded in mystery. If he is Dlc in SF6 they should expand on his story

[@DevilRaptorB]

honestly Necalli should have been made the last boss of the arcade , while he was a pushover story-wise that shouldn't have been an excuse to not make him so, I mean Nagoryuki from Guilty Gear strive wasn't even the main villain in the story mode, that didn't stop him from being the final boss of the arcade for all characters

[@devilfacethedarklord]

The final boss would’ve been Happy Chaos but he was dlc before being added to the base game

[@arrownoir]

@@devilfacethedarklord Yeah. He was clearly the villain.

[@tonilarios]

I guess the Top Hat Gaming man being the final boss of the game completes the full circle of inception.

[@KenMasters.]

Street Fighter V should've had two more story modes after "A Shadow Falls." With G & Kagé as the main antagonists of SFV: Arcade Edition's story, followed up by Gill & Seth for SFV: Champion Edition's story.

[@dalesanteford7432]

HE WEARS A TOP HAT!!!

[@warrenbradford2597]

I hope Street Fighter 6 give us more details on Q and confirm the theory that he was the alter ego of G the whole time. If the developers have to disconfirm it, they need to do it in a clever way. For examples: Q being an alter ego of someone else obvious or turning out to be an android of different organization.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

Capcom has been very lazy with these alphabet characters. No backstory, no details and they just keep introducing them. Without any information. It's getting irritating.

[@veedakat9791]

What about the G Files?

[@ssppeeaarr]

ya i wouldnt get my hopes up. Q has been M.I.A. since third strike. its a pity he should have been in sf6 and tied to G. well maybe in future DLC he might be. we can hope.

[@drmgiverdrmgiver5335]

Loved the fact that you touched base on Lincoln's pro wrestling career.

[@PapaTaurean]

I love G. He is definitely my favorite character from Street Fighter 5 because he has personality, a cool look, awesome moves, and the more we learn about him, the more we want to learn. G for 2024!!

[@snapclub8751]

I’ve always theorized both G and Q are related and that there are 24 other fighters as well. Please do History of Q next.

We we know G a powerful character I don't know what's he's planning and he won't be in 6.

[@thatonedudenamedvalentine7836]

Good sir, I’m not even kidding you. Few hours (dawn) I was looking into any videos you did of this individual. Turns out, you haven’t up until now. Talk about good timing lol

[@hazbaska1]

Bro I’ve been waiting for this forever! A Q video would be most welcome ^^

[@AH20XX]

G and Q and their mysterious backgrounds make them the most interesting and intriguing SF newbies Since the original road warriors IMO

[@sfturbo]

I actually thought that G was captured, tortured, experimented on and transformed into Q by Gill.

[@Jec_Rabbit]

There are a lot of theories so it’s hard to tell which theories are the most logical

[@oreore949]

I really wish that President Of The World, the theme from G's trailer was fully released at some point, I absolutely love it.

[@LobsterPuncher]

Definitely do Q. I love this series 🎩

[@pangsofguilt1]

I'd love to hear more about Q!

[@okamibredren9524]

I wonder if G will end up being the main antagonist in street fighter 6 🤔? Getting more excited for that games release now lol.

[@antiseize11]

Didn't see him in the leaks but we'll see, hopefully he'll make it

[@axiscrevite]

Hopefully, our speculations about G will end in Street Fighter 6.....or 7 maybe🤔

[@cake6851]

Kinda feels like Capcom can't decide whether G or Gill is the main big bad. Heck in the new Street Fighter 6 leaks there's a character named JP who looks like the boss character of that game and he has psycho power. So really the main villain is a mystery.

[@境零度]

Who's better to shed light upon a fellow in hat than Top Hat himself. Pangean-level precedent, indeed. Nice video, mate. Cheers

[@MezTZO]

I really hope they follow up on G in SF6. And yes, I too would very much like to see Top Hat’s take on the link between G and Q.

[@johndewberryiii9925]

I hope G comes back as a proper final boss he seems to big to be a one and done character. To just say he went to sleep in a volcano or something would be pretty corny

[@pernellroberts6012]

And on Street Fighter 6 it's all about the Mad Gear Gang because M Bison have fallen. So someone have to take over

[@YISHYAWO]

They just revealed the roster for SF6 & the character JP resembles G. If he isnt G, i hope they bring G back!

[@TheSharePlayers]

Of course we want a G video ! Good job again, as usual !

[@danilum3506]

I like to think both G and Q are part of some organization or group where each member has a different letter for their name.

[@84TZ]

Q and then G~Q please

[@tracyndiyob162]

love his rap(and how he showed up when fans decoded his tweet.) and g's power reminds me of the bogard's/geese fighting style drawing the worlds energy.(be cool if for snk vs capcom 3 he was the final boss.:3) still think g is the previous leader of the illuminati(especially with how in 6's trailer the image of gill's speech to yun/yang appeared on a building possibly meaning they may become more active/wonder what karin will be doing with how big she was in 5.) before gill took the emperor title. though it's kinda hard for me to view him as a true villain as while he's definitely unsettling with how he bring every talk back to him wanting to give power to the people and could be ambiguous as to whether he'll help the fighters take on gill,be his own force(possibly the earth's astral projection like what the comics tried to do with necalli despite being even more pathetic.) or be one of the antagonist he feels more well intentioned(with how funny his involvement with rashid & menat is.) than gill who honestly leans more to evil(even gills counterpart jedah feels more closer to neutral than him.). also while i think he has ties to q(possibly with g starting the "g-project" ibuki was hunting gill for in 3rd strike using q as a living subject or the twelves being used to recreate the world with how gill's 3 ending/rose prediction says the world will be destroyed.) in the cfn it's stated q's still around as he's the reason c. viper's not playable outside cameos as she's hunting him.

[@cluelesslawdamercyruthless6865]

Top Hats unite?

[@NGAMAKANUI]

G is a wild card and the story costume is (wether people like it or not) a connection to his turning point to Q. Capcom is very deliberate and would not have done that if the two characters weren’t the same. Nothing can prove why Q doesn’t have the same powers as G but can be assumed that he either lost the powers due to brainwashing or chooses to hide his abilities so that he can emerge as the villain in a future street fighter game. Personally he gives off Pyron vibes.

[@NGAMAKANUI]

A lot of people love Q because of the mystery behind the character and simply don’t want there to be an answer to who he is. If that’s the case then Q should never come back to the street fighter franchise. His story can never be interesting without the chase of his identity.

[@liquidladdy]

​@@NGAMAKANUI nah theres a pic of a blonde male and female in the same get-up. Q is just a soldier/ brainwashed follower of G

[@SAPProd]

G appears to be missing from the leaked SF6. I’m hoping that leak isn’t complete, because leaving G out of SF6 day one seems like a mistake with all the build-up. It’s very disappointing that G isn’t the final boss in most Arcade arcs in the SFV path, and he HAS to have focus and playability upon launch.

[@voltz15]

If Gill isn't interduced, then G's chances are undoubtingly high.

[@ryugaboumera4490]

hear me out: AU where G is the world's response to the arrival of Necalli.

[@BlueMageWithSoulEdge]

Sweet video. Good stuff as usual but I am kinda shocked that people still question the connection between G and Q. I mean it is very obvious. And no G is not Q. When I read articles from "journalist" trying to convince that lie, I'm reminded that they didn't beat the game. In Q's own ending it clearly states that Q isn't a single person, but a collection of agents for an organization [most likely the Illuminate]. Chances are Q was the initial model to what later became the "12" model of fighters (which isn't a single person but a collection of agents). The similarity between G and Q is on purpose-- much like the similarity between Seth and Gill/ Urien. Both G and Seth are allusions to what Q and Gill/ Urien actually are, thus giving them backstory without going deep into it and filling in loose ends in one fell swoop. And yeah G is (or later will become) the bad guy. Menat, Rose, and Oro's ending straight up tell you that G is the personification of the Psycho Power. Of the three, Oro's ending was smacking us in the face with it. In SF6 there is a Russian guy that is said to have direct connection to the Psycho Power and he shares G's shape and design. Chances are this is G after his release from Illuminate. Yes, release because in the trailer revealing G, he is shown facing off against Urien. Whether or not if Urien captured him or G went willingly is not the point, the point is that G was directly sought after and is the template for the G files (which by time of SF3 Gill no longer needs). I mean it's not rocket science, especially when Capcom shove it in your face.
