Interesting idea, but , Gill’s vs Q quote says “Even in all my omnipotence, I have no idea what/who you are” or something to those lines.
If he was a heretic held up in the Illuminati community as “These are our punished sons, look at how they are shambles, puppets. Do NOT follow their sins.” He’d at least have some idea of him. Even if they didn’t fully plan it out back then in the 90s, I could see an ambiguous line like. “Oh, you’re one of the wretched. How pitiable your kind are” so that could be specific that he’s known somewhat to the Illuminati or a more general quote like he’s referring to those who fall short of his goals. They instead opted to show that Q is so mysterious that not even the game’s big boss knows who he is.
Yup, that’s what I’m referring to, the Japanese version.
I’m not sure how many there are, I recall asking for a few relating to Q to be translated and awesomely, the fine gents here answered the call (Oro’s Robo Detective K being the other translated one). Not sure how many more are floating in the past two threads. I can take a look once back at my PC.
Tbh simple answer to this is that SF3 is a 20 years ago game
I guess if G exist to “explain” Q, is a recent idea (from a different team while at It)
So that quote may be different today
Example Gill say to Ryu that he’s fighting with struggling soul or something like that, but we know in current SFV canon Ryu already passed that struggle (before meet Gill)
Or more simple examples
Urien tan skin-white hair Is now normal Urien, while metal version got black skin.
Pale blonde Urien does’nt exist anymore (good) aside as alt, not canon, color
Akuma now “evolved” into tha lion mane version, sf3 look will probably not exist anymore
Li Fen has been kidnapped and resqued by Chun Li, but by Fang/Shadaloo… Is possible this kidnapping replaced the SF3 one by Urien (will be a repetition)
There’s a mistaken assumption that the Illuminati doesn’t want G doing what he’s doing
I am saying that G is doing EXACTLY what he’s supposed to be doing.
Gill and Urien don’t need awareness of his actions. Gill is not the president nor the emperor and Urien is nothing but the head of a science division. Both are very important candidates but neither is in charge of the Illuminati. People seem to keep forgetting that the Secret Society is not ruled by Gill at this point. He’s certainly a very powerful figure in it, but he’s not the pope.
@YagamiFire
Found a interessing info for G’s theories
“The entire program lasts for all candidates until they are 22 years of age, at which point only only one of one thousand and twenty four children involved will be worthy of the title of Presidency. Presidents who show exceptional acumen are promoted to the rank of Emperor, a secret rank which is known only to few Presidents and the Council of Elders (@Shockdingo we just discussed that :D) , and is also considered the “Messiah”. All high-reigning titles last until the age of 46.”
Read the last line, in particular
If G is the current President, Illuminati rules will want him to retire (becoming just part of the Elders?) at 46yo and let one of the 22yo candidates to replaced him
46yo may be G’s age at the moment (design wise It could be)
Actually for how Illuminati control dates of births, Is likely the age gap Is perfectly calculated making that when candidates reach 22 the current President reach 46
So if candidates (Gill) reached the 22, it’s likely whoever is the current President reached 46 and it’s time for the replacement
Could be that Illuminati want (due rules) G to quietly retire, but G does’nt want give up the title of president of the world position (being #1 of illuminati make you the world’s #1), so he’s trying to keep It by an alternative road, by normal people/governments support
This could be a GIANT problem for Illuminati
The base of theyr indirect control of the world is that they can control world leaders
If a world leader, or worse THE World Leader (if G’s unification/globalization of power plan works) is somebody that perfectly know the Illuminati existence, plans, secrets, methods… well, they will lose everything.
They don’t directly own nations, armies or other forms of direct power, theyr secret world empire is 99% based on influence/control of those who have these things
If everything end up in G’s hands they have zero hopes of influence/control him
They will be in the position of play a chess game vs somebody who got a baseball bat
Illuminati: “Pawn on B3!”
G: “Baseball bat on your temple” ← Win
It is mentioned/strongly implies in SF5 by Viper that the old Guard of the Illuminati was recently systematically assassinated and Viper implicated Urien and Gill as behind the incident.
I would wager that the old SS president was part of the culling.
Urien deny Viper accusation of him being involved (and from how he speak neither Gill is behind that), saying that he does’nt care about these internal struggle and that he will eventually destroy the “new guard” if become a problem for him
He know it’s happening, but he is’nt part of it and does’nt consider it much of a treat
There’s so really interesting stuff posted recently, gonna take some time to digest, but it’s making me REALLY hope that there is more story content for S4 after these recent discussions, it’d be a wasted opportunity to not build on G while the hype is hot.
