[@stevensonchambers5577]

I will always remember Gill as being frustratingly hard because on top of being a very strong character he could also resurrect himself. After numerous frustrating loses I finally figured out the best way to beat him. If at all possible, defeat him in the opening round BEFORE his super art gauge is filled. Resurrection is a super art and he cannot use it unless his gauge is full. In the following round he will be able to resurrect unless you all out blitz him before his gauge fills(which is possible but very unlikely). Stay right on top of him once you deplete his health gauge. When he performs the resurrection he casts out a force field which pushes his opponent away and allows him time to rise into the air and complete his Resurrection. Every character has a particular move that can penetrate the protective force field and hit Gill which interrupts the Resurrection. If done properly he doesn't recover full health and it is well advised that you not hesitate to take him out. Resurrection is his only super art in Street Fighter 3: New Generation. in the subsequent upgrades he gains other super arts. CPU Gill will at times blow his super art gauge on a super art and leave himself vulnerable to defeat if you can take him out before his gauge refills.

Capcom should make a SF game that unifies the entire story and where you unlock fighters as you progress through the story from the beginning (SFA) till the end (SF3) It would be a huge game with a sh1t ton of characters though, it's too ambitious to consider they would ever do something like that. but it would be magnificent if they did.

[@bloody4558]

It's not though. Gill wasn't originally meant to be blue and red. They changed him to be that way to showcase the power of the CPS3, capable of properly rendering different sprites on each side of the screen, allowing for characters to have a proper left and right side.

[@Lastjustice]

The issue with Gill and most of the cast of Street Fighter 3 is they don't gel with the aesthetics of the rest of the street fighter series. They look like a completely different series. (Which it started as.) They are like animated characters in space jam standing next real life actors in terms of contrast of looks. They are just so wacky compared to the rest of the games. Most of them never fit, as like when you're a kid and dump out your toy box and play with characters from another toyline..that's what felt like happened here. The few like Elena, Dudley, Alex, and the Lee brothers migrated to other games since they had closer look to other games and felt like they could fit in without being jarring. The other titles always felt like they could a unified project/universe. This is a major factor why SF 3 wasn't seen as a true Street fighter game by many upon release and was largely ignored. I feel like Capcom agreed on some level, as they went backwards in the timeline to avoid dealing with it, and trying bridge the games to get people to warm up to the other characters by sprinkling them in other titles over time. SF 6 will actually take places after 3, but I doubt it will have many of the SF 3 cast appear in it based on the current leaks. Gill is definitely an oddity that probably needs more explanation as hes too weird even for the SF universe..especially at the time of his first appearance. (The later games had a few zanier characters like Haken and El Furte, but the newer art style made them feel more like in with the game. The bulk of the cast tend kept a more serious tone.)

Gill needs to be in more capcom games

[@Shinmsl]

I know that saying there's a Jojo Bizarre adventure reference is a meme by now but I always thought that Gil and Urien had been inspired by the Pilar men characters from part 2, mostly Karz in the case of Gill because he's all about becoming the supreme being and his impressive size and physique, long curly hair and very minimal clothing XD

Some people say you can’t stop the resurrection ha ha noobs but he his my favorite sf character so far.

I know the series has never focused on story, but I'm really curious about what happens after Street Fighter 3...

[@EAZIIMAN]

Knowing capcom they'll probably make sf6 another prequel. Im convinced they don't know how to advance the sf storyline which is why each game is never in chronological order

Funny gill talks about harmony when his personality is contrast as well as his color scheme

Remember Gill ending in Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact. It predicted the story of Street Fighter V! And no one talks about it!
