0:37 should be Neutral jump LP, diagonal jump LP has the same angle as G
Shoutouts to AutoMattock for spotting a few of these in G's trailer and zweifuss.ca/ for providing the Third Strike sprites.

It actually makes me sad...he keeps falling down trying to do his old moves. His mind is so broken that he can't recall how to attack correctly.
TrueUnderDawgGaming my guy! Love the channel bro
Ikr? It’s like Gill or someone else completely broke him
Yeah, that is quite sad... :(
Yeah, also he lost his golden energy.
Daniel Gaxiola Lugo Q mask has a golden iluminationinside and his hair is blonde is possible see this in some atacks so i think G is Q in mind control or something like that
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.
Somehow, by adding parallels like this, they answered absolutely nothing about Q and just added even more questions.
and that's kinda brilliant.
I'm sure that any person can make a character like that... Even the newest, most newbie game developer/character designer can make a character like that... To be really honest
@@lemonade2706 Then you overestimate newbies
@@captainmega6310no he’s right, look at Sigma from overwatch. You basically let other people write the story for you. All you do is tease them.
@@jamespa7193 You, too, overestimate newbies
@@captainmega6310 fair. You’re right bro. 😎
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.
Is this yu gi oh card vanila text?
Maybe g went mad and became q
@@kingsleyjohn6564 or G is the antithesis of Q
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.
But yeah, top tier "redesign" showcase that SF series is really good at.
Where do you find the "considering himself an abomination"
Remember kids, G comes before Q.
Totally not an edge lord from Zeon He must he the owner of GQ Magazine Too :D
Really? ???
Unless if the case is the other way around (Q comes before G.)
@@lupinthe3rdrobberyincorporated ._.
@@junucalvosovietico4859 Call me crazy, but hey I'm not.
This music with the degraded moves being displayed makes me feel kinda melancholy. What happened to make him like this? Such a charismatic guy struck down to be a silent guy incapable of communication and poor body control. But he fights anyways. If it really does turn out that Q has been damaged and yet continues fighting, it just makes the character that much more awesome.
you just made me fall in love with G
See I think Q might be more akin to a clone or android of G with G at the head of the organisation that Q(s) is a member of
But the thing with Q is that, despite pushing on to keep fighting, he called himsel an abomination and wanted to die hence the kamikaze Super where he literally explodes after a certain amount of time.
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
And tragic.
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.
GQ = Gentleman's Quarterly.
G is the gentleman
Q is but one quarter of the gentleman...
This has very interesting implications...
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.
Mem Man Really interesting theory
Maybe hes a robot and there's more than one of his design? That could explain being at so many places at once. Just a guess.
ISO64 that rings up the issue of human skin being seen under his mask and the skeleton that can be seen when he gets shocked. Unless he’s got a metal skeleton as a robot for some reason that shouldn’t be there.
My theory is that G and Q are not the same person, but they work for the same person. There goal is, as G often says, is for everyone to be one, and the World to be united. By united they mean brainwashed husks of people, such as Q.
@@ap-ix6yd I mean, its Capcom, robo-skeletons aren't unusual for them
So clearly something happened to G and someone turned him into what is now Q. Very interesting
Could be a clone of G. Same organization but Q is one of many similar lackeys of G, not unlike Cammy and the Shadaloo Dolls.
omg. Q is G... G was a president from the past who died and l8r reconstructed or experimented on while alive
Abel Cardenas Exactly like Walt Disney and Hitler XD
That something is lazily putting him into the game without any of his charm
So many people acting like G and Q are confirmed and canonically the same guy when there’s no real evidence to prove it. Kind of annoys me, but they clearly do have some kind of connection.
Looks like G was givin the Charlie Nash treatment
Is charlie that bad?
Or shall i say nash at this point.. regardless bad or what?
He might mean the murdered and ressurected treatment. Charlie came back but didnt function completely how he used to, thanks to the modifications Urien had made to his body. If this is the case with G as well, he might;ve gotten it even worse, as Q cant even access Gs abilities from the earth.
Regner Ramos Yes what [Spawn] said, Charlie having much sluggish movement compared to his alpha days
charles chase *given
Seeing q fall on the ground after a heavy is depressing as hell now. If it does turn out g is q then something happened and he was crippled for life
A Real History i agree
that saddens me as well.
A Real History same thing happened to Holdor in Game of Thrones. It went from "Haha Holdor! 😃" to "Hold the door...😢".
Why do these writers gotta do the cool and/or fun characters like that man! I can't enjoy these characters when I know that they will get fucked later on in the story or when It's revealed that they were fucked to begin with 🙁.
Seeing how fucking awesome G is, a character with more hype and swag in his pinky toe than the entire SF cast, then knowing that he'll become lesser than a shadow of himself tears me up inside.
A Real History Nailed it.
A Real History I knew I always heard him say "abomination"
but what about G's V-Trigger II, Dangerous President?
its almost literally Q's Total Destruction.
HackerHaunter Yeah, I was waiting for that one
Exactly! This is a very simmilar move
Nice catch. Maybe Total Destruction is G/Q's last link to the Earth being used up?
PRESIDENT
POWER
if you compare G's fire like abilities to Q's DANGER super in 3S it makes it even more interesting that Q is just a very unstable shell of his former self which was G
There is zero confirmation that they’re the same person
@@FakeDavyCrockett
Heavily implied for there to be a connection but no full confirmation, yes. Just hoping 6 links their connection.
@@Motolmang yeh they definitely are connected in some way, my guess is either that G wants to turn everyone into brainwashed drones and Q was his first victim, which is what he means when he says he wants to unite the whole world as one. Either that or G and Q work for someone else with the same goal, the possible main villain of 6.
Its been pointed out before, but Q doesnt show a skeleton when he is electrocuted, so maybe he's made of solid gold, it would explain why he's so durable.
Yeah it displays a muscular system instead
And gold IS a conductor of electricity so it'd be even more painful.
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.
I like how the charge motions make Q even FEEL more lumbering and uncoordinated
Not shown here due to age, but G's V-Skill 2, G Protection, gives G a defense buff each time he uses it, persisting till a KD like his Presidentiality Gauge(and taking the hit instead of it), Lv2's animation for it additionally is clearly the Q Taunt
This video really makes me appreciate how beautiful the spritework was in sf3.
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. Now that I think about it, I think that G is to Q what Gill is to Urien. Remains to be seen if they'll ever rectify the transplantation of all his moves though.
I can only imagine G saw a Deadly Attack (Maybe a Terrorist Bombing) and it made him sad and depressed with the humanity he once saw as pure, And he became Obsessed with seeing the worst in humanity (Explaining why he shows up at crime scenes a lot) and eventually, lost his own humanity, ultamitely becoming Q.
That, or maybe he tried to Fight Gill between The events of 5 and 3, And lost horribly, Traumatizing him as Gill scarred his face.

SAME
Somebody help him up he's just trying his best. :'(
To think that G might turn into...this...just 10 years later. I don't usually get sad over games, but this is a major exception.
Q is 10 letters away from G
I love how Capcom is playing the mystery of this character, I think G and Q are probably the most interesting characters in Street Fighter history because they never reveal their full hand. If G does end up being Q in some major accident, it’s gonna be super depressing seeing this very charismatic character turn into a broken walking husk of the man he used to be, but all the more awesome!
I’m thinking that for one reason or another G loses his connection to the earth, embarrassed and ashamed of this fact he decided to hide his face and identity while on a search to regain his connection to said earth. During this time he adopts the moniker of Q
Another reminder of how gorgeous SF3's animations are even today. Aged like fine wine
A qoute from Q: "I am......an abomination"
Im sticking to my guns and saying something happens to G and ruins him, considering 5 predated 3rd Strike. Heck, even G is a secret boss character just as Q was.
Unless of course the letters are in terms of experiments of a naming system, much like 11 and 12 or how all the Dolls were named after the months in the year.
Also another thing. It is slight but you can actually see on Q's spirite if you look close when he is on th eground you can see he is blonde and has pale skin just like G.
So simple to just put the sprites over the video and yet it's so clever.
Good shit man - totally getting me Q hyped.
So Q is basiclly lifeless version of G?
I think that Q might be a twelve but I don’t want to write the worlds longest RUclips comment explaining that.
Great video, would you mind if I used a clip of it and credited you as well?
Feel free, man
Sounds great man. It should be up by tonight. Thanks again!

I like that G is bracing himself for impact/keeping his balance during his attacks while Q is throwing his everything into every motion, even taking over at times
I like to imagine that Q arrived on Earth from somewhere else, and was completely confused on how to act or be around people. He then started to learn, and he learned what people like, and he started to form his own thoughts, and just totally rose the ranks of the world to become president.
Good for him, I say.
I’m actually blown away that I never realized ANY OF THIS until now. I guess I didn’t pay attention enough. I hope we get Q/G in SF6, maybe then we can have Q getting back to his former self(?)
Great video! I hand't noticed how similar Q's taunt and G's v-skill are until now. This is some really entertainment goin' on here, good job keep it up!
The fact that the shadaloo cri description for G’s trench coat costume mentions how color 15 looks like Q implies that the two exist at the same time, which would discredit the theory that G is Q. I believe that Q is a follower of G, which would explain the similarity of their moves. 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.
On their appearance, G and Q both have blonde hair, G's energy attacks are golden, Q has golden light emanating from his eyes, and though unclear maybe the golden tattoo G has used actual gold and might explain why Q's electrocution X-ray is blocked at his skin level. That last one is a bit of a reach, but no-one else mentioned it.
Also G's 'Uncle Sam' pose during his super is somewhat similar to Q's portrait art, but Q's hand is up not forming a point.
You forgot about how the phase 2 of G's v skill 2 is literally one on one a replica of Q's taunt and it also functions like Q's taunt by increasing defense
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).
I surely hope they never touch on this again though, I wouldn’t want Capcom to mess with these characters to much, I like them because of this lack of information.
Thank you for putting up this video! This is very interesting. My mind got a lot of theories, and people in the comments had great insight as well~
You know what this means for Season 4, right? A new character.
*GQ*
I’ve thought about this video every now and then for literally years, and I just thought of something that I’d never considered before!
Most of the fan theories here are that Q is G’s body (and what’s left of G’s mind), or a clone of G’s body, or whatever.
What if Q is actually an android created to carry out or carry on G’s will? What if that’s not a mask at all? What if it’s just his bare metal robot face?
Why would he use his specific moves then? And grunting noises
And thats why Q sheds a tear sometimes. He is trapped, and hes unwillingly hurting people
I love Q’s elasticity and the kinetic motion in his animation movement. I love how his body and clothes really show the strength and effort he puts into his attacks. Unlike 5 where clothes and hair have spazz attacks and clip through the character models.
Can't believe I missed so many of these
Speculation? more like confirmation
A lot of comments are saying that G can now not control his body, but I'd say he just doesn't know how to yet. When Q gets electrified, his muscular system shows up, meaning that Gill probably experimented on him after being fed up with him trying to have the world be free and unified. This artificial new muscle around his organs, bones, etc. Might have gotten rid of his powers, or he simply lost all of his political power thus weakening his actual powers to the point its not worth trying to use. However, he gains incredible strength as his super art can slam opponents down into the ground so hard that they bounce up into the sky. In addition, he gains incredible defensive capabilities, as his taunt makes him take less damage, compared to his past self gaining presidential power thus increasing his energy powers. Q is also said to be one of the most powerful characters ever, as he only looks for the strongest to fight, in 3rd strike, to fight him in story mode you have to win 6 perfect matches. There's also a deleted scene from 3rd strike where he is being interviewed.
damn in some q aznimations we can see blonde hair or golden skin
Javi A secas nice observations
Kevin Franks thanks, I think it just may be blonde hair though. Maybe I'm seeing stuff that it's not there. But then again g is a blonde guy.
Timestamp? I dont see it
David Curry crouching heavy kick, around 0:28. Slow mo it
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
I hope they cook something with this story line in six
this gave me an idea - "bones" in 3d modelling programs should really have some sort of cartilage wiggle room where the bones connect to each other for character animation.
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
Even G's crouching animation is degraded in Q- He can't even get his one knee up without (presumably) tipping over, so he has to keep himself seated on both knees.
My hunch for Deadly Double Combination is that while G evenly distributes the blows to complete the combo, Q puts way too much into the second hit and just sends the opponent flying
I wonder if the mystery behind Q will be solved in SF6. Will they reintroduce Q, G or a new character to do so, or will they leave Q's existence a mystery forever? We'll just have to wait and see.
I did see someone with a hat and trench coat in one of the trailers that slips out of sight in the open world
Maybe Q will return as a hidden boss like he was in third strike and they’ll add him later
G is Fluid and stylish
While Q seems undead poorly mimicking G’s attacks
This is a dope comparison
If you look closely at Q sprites you can see tidy bits of blonde hair below his mask, at the back of his head. If this is not a confirmation that they are the same characters, I don't know what is.
Just remember:
G is 7th letter
Q is 17th letter
nice work to put everything together
My headcanon is Q is an imperfect clone of G
This feels right. I hope everyone see this.
Great find! I knew there were similarities. I just didn't know where. I'm subbing. Thank you.
If G is indeed Q, what turned him from President of Earth, to an Abomination?
Q looks like some kind of robot remotely simulating G's move, that's my theory
We now have the taunt animation from VS2. maybe a update video?
Here is something to thing about,
Maybe G and Q are part of some organization, with all of the members being named after a letter in the alphabet, and the trench coat and metal mask being their main outfit, which explains why G has a similar costume to Q in his character story in sfv.This could also explain Q’s ending where there were a string of unsolved murders, and this organization was sending these members to do them.
I thought Q was a robot created in Gs image. I’m pretty sure in 3rd strike their are multiple Qs, because he had been spotted in multiple places at once. It makes sense to me, assuming G actually becomes a very powerful character and becomes “president of the earth” like he already claims he is, he might have a robot army that fights (or at least tries to fight) just like him. In the future where Q comes from, G might be the actual president of the earth and takes over everything, creating a robot army in the process.
I feel like its nice that Q is sort of getting a story and he’s finally getting meaning. But its also sad that he fails doing his moves
There's something just a little bit sinister about G. His costume is absurd, his speeches are absurd, and he's this friendly, pushy, gregarious buffoon, but his moves have this deceptively brutal quality to them; relaxed and smugly casual, but then briefly and sharply intense, like someone who's aware of their strength and is assured they have the advantage, but then who puts extra force into their blows just to add insult to injury, to make the enemy's defeat total. It reminds me of Thanos. No stance, then suddenly beatdown.
So I think G was, at some stage in the timeline, malicious: A willing participant in the Illuminati's plans. His elemental powers also line up with those of Illuminati elites like Urien, Gill, and Kolin, rather than the Stretch Armstrong antics of G-Project experiments like Eleven, Twelve, and Necro.
All that said, he's such a friendly, pushy, gregarious buffoon right now that I'm not sure if this president of Earth schtick is actually an Illuminati thing or not; it's like a weird parody of a plan they might have. Maybe whatever eventually turns him into Q has actually already started happening; like he WAS going to be the charismatic puppet ruler who unites Earth's nations for the shadow government to control from behind, but his powers or his brainwashing or something is already degrading his mind, and he's gone off the rails and stealing costumes off of animatronic Lincolns and using his crazy Illuminati elemental powers right in front of cameras for the world to see.
Dude I was talking about this with my son last night. Thanks for the video great production that no one can argue against thumbs up all day👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I Hope that we find more Out about q's and g's Connection they are both very interristing to me
Can we talk about how good the animation is on that sprite
Mte, also... Q is blonde too
What if, it's not G, but instead someone else. Maybe Q was an experiment meant to imitate G's moveset but was a failure. That would explain his "I'm...an abomination..." quote and the degraded moves.
God, those 3rd strike animations are gorgeous.
Maximilian Dood should see this comparison.
Wow... I just realized that he does almost all Q's moves... that's crazy no wonder why he was so familiar...
Like I said...why Capcom decided to give us G instead of just making him Q straight off is like pissing on fans backs and saying it's raining...and then not even giving a proper story mode...
Oh well.
Thanks for the video and to the artist that did the mod/skin (hella quick!!!).
Incredible work! Thank you so much for this. Just makes me sad cause this pretty much de-confirms Q DLC in a later season :/
G = Q 😱😱😱😱
I wonder. If there's multiple Qs, and only one G from my understanding, G's goal of "uniting under one people" could be trying to turn everyone into Qs. He may be able to imprint part of himself onto people, effectively creating imperfect copies of himself. That could also explain his odd mannerisms about being one with everything, by making everyone in his likeness.
One small error; in Q's case, you CAN still combo after his SA2 (deadly double combination)
Honestly, seeing G’s animation in comparison to Q’s, it makes me love the animation for both of them even more. One is so sharp and finessed, while the other is sloppy and monstrous. It at adds even more mystery to Q. Is G really Q? If so, what happened to him to male him into such a monstrous being. How did this once boisterous man turn into a mumbling if not silent robot. And then there is the whole mystery behind G himself.
Even the themes are similar sonically with a low fi jazzy hip hop vibe.
G is gill and urien brother he's the gold element of the 3.
Rajah or G is gill? In street fighter 3,ibuki has a file she took from gill called the G.file.
The Programmer of video games or could be a file for gill experimenting on G giving G the mindset of some sorta machine but who knows the lore on G and Q is very scarce
Rajah that's also possible.
It's funny because this SF series is kinda like Star Wars when it comes to timeline. SFIV and SFV actually comes first before SFIII story wise. So that really makes it more sense that G can actually be Q.
........................
(Really?!!)
Does this mean that G is Q? CONFUSION FOR DAYS
Now that everyone is pointing it out that G is a pre-brainwashed or tortured Q, it'll be boring if it ends up being that. In that case I rather it be a guy with 26 split personalities.
Jesus fucking christ
The fact that the game is prior to 3 already shows that this theory proceeds, because the game itself was released without a decent story and there was no explanation for almost anything there just arcade endings that we don't know which is the real one. If the G is the same Q, this will only be known if Capcom confirms it.
I clicked this video by accident, glad I did though. I practice MMA/Muay Thai and I can tell you that G's b.HK is very close to correct form when throwing a thai kick. Great video!
Loved the wobbly jittery animations of Q
The general moves are similar but ultimately not the same, Q moves more like a robot than a human being while G moves like a man with grace and control.
Silent Soul Ken SSK they are related somehow we will see maybe in the next story dlc or street fighter 6
G's V Skill 2 is straight up Q's Taunt mechanic.
I just think his power over takes him and his skin becomes entirely gold and thus heavier and also why his b.HK makes him fall because he cannot support his weight shift anymore.
Hey pombear, Twist (?) is usually referred to as Corkscrew, not sure if anyone told you since you didn't see sure.
For G being Q, G talks an awful lot more.
Wasn't there a pose on g's other v-skill which resembles q's taunt more?
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.
Q looks like someone from Astor boy or jojo
I'm under the impression Skullomania, G, and Q are all the same character and that they are all the some mad lad who has mutiple personalities.
lmao
Hey that’s my theory too! Welcome to the g and q split personality theory club
Q confirmed! Now lets see how they officially do it.
Maybe Q is G with amnesia? Though his elemental nature makes you suspect he’s related to Gill and Urien.
