This is so random, but I was listening to a remix of DS3 Forever Torment
and out of nowhere remembered the awesome Henry Cavil arm load sequence from the latest Mission Impossible:
So, now I want a scene like in SF2 the animated movie where Fei Long burns off Ryu’s gloves, but with Q. I want to see him get his coat burned off, “load his arms” and start demolishing someone hah.
Back on topic and about Q, if those old weird rumours of “free characters” come about, it’d be interesting to see Q as an EX costume for G, just change the effects and emulate his super strength and wallbounce stuff. Could be a simple and interesting way to expand the story too.
WHOA WHAT?! Iiiiiiinteresting. Another hint that he’s only just outwardly altruistic? Hmm.
I dunno, I’ve been digging G as a good guy and potential good-fallen-guy, but some things make me think he’s just really good at hiding his intentions, or like Dr. Doom, sees himself as the good guy, unlike Bison who revels in his evil. The lyrics in the song, some of his lines leaning darker, his cache of secrets and the two Q’s shown in his concept art, make me feel my original theory of him having various agents could be in play. Also, speaking of his arcade ending, I dunno, the close up on his blue (normally purple) eyes make me feel something ominous. He didn’t look as hopeful and endearing as he usually does. I’m keeping part of my mind open to the possibility that he’s convinced himself he’s a good guy while not being so, or he’s got some level of psychic blocking so he screwed over Menat, and Rose has to be there directly to analyze him herself. I’m not sure.
This is what’s had me over the moon. Him having that card and having them canonize it is very exciting and speaks to his future importance. I really wanna see where he goes, whether it’ll be always as G or as Q, or even as the “Father of Q”. One thing I mentioned previously is that in his card, he doesn’t have the guardian Dog, so I’m wondering if something happens to him and darkens his path out of desperation, or if Q is his guardian dog and appearing around all those crimescenes to find his mentor/master, G. Could be an interesting theory; Q is clumsy due to rushing to make himself powerful enough to fight to save G, his movements are inspired by G due to his love of him, but something went wrong or incomplete thus Q’s degraded movements.
Agreed, he’s something so different than the usual fighting game baddie (if he is indeed bad). He’s a breath of fresh air overall.
edit:
Hmm, his special skills are speed reading and mental calculation. Could be nothing, but his cunning nature and potential deception make me think this is something important. I dunno how telepathy works in SF, but if it’s like you need to connect to the astral plane, enter his mind and try to probe his recesses, he may be aware of a mental invasion and slide around all his thoughts and goals and only present the face-value stuff of uniting the world and such to a distracting level that you can’t peer further.
Now, I feel that Rose, after encountering him and knowing him more could, but him having a mental guard for first and inexperienced foes could make sense. Or even in Dhalsim’s case, G could just be so nuts, that he may miss minor tells and is not interested in doing a prolonged mental scan as if he was a Bison-like figure.
