After hearing a theory and rewatching his ending, I think Capcom wants us to think he's David (the bald CIA guy in Q's ending). IT could be a red herring, or there may be multiple ones. Either way, I hope that the writers have fun with him in his future appearances.




Who cares who Q is....hell there isn't even going to be a downfall in Shadaloo anyway...(tnx SF4) Shadaloo vs Illuminati is what I want to see.

You will never find out who/what and why Q is, that's just a part of his character. Like Ryu has never steered away from being all about the fight and Ken with his wild-streak personality.  I know I would never want to know who Q is. If he was Charlie, you would say 'oh sweet i didnt know that', and the moment's gone. If you don't demask him, Q gets to be Q all day long and completely unspoiled.



complete agree. when I used to watch WWF, Kane was awesome under his mask, but after being de-masked its meh now.


Q is mysterious and actually how you say its part of his character.

Guess we'll never know his true identity. But i'm crossing my fingers that if we ever find out, it'll be David or Joe(SF1). The only two that would make the most sense.


Anyway, aside from "who" he/she really is, the design of Q is derived from both anime and live action shows in japan(Justl like how Yun & Yang resemble Duo and Trowa from Gundam Wing).  Yeu did mention earlier that Q was based on a live action show from the 70's called Robot Detective (ロボット刑事 ,Robotto Keiji) where the main protagonists name was K. But there is more to his design than just that show. There was another show called Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still (ジャイアント・ロボ - 地球が静止する日 ,Jaianto Robo - Chikyū ga seishi suru hi) where in one of the OVAs you see a character dressed exactly like Q with the same mask, the same coat, the same hat, and he just so happens to be fighting the "Q" organization(It even says the letter Q all over the train). To see what I'm talking about, check out the youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YgYnkvYWvc and you will see what I mean at both 0:58 & 1:41. Smile There were 7 episodes created and each one took about 4 months to a year to make(creation period spanned from July 22, 1992 to January 25, 1998!). Anyway, I love all the street fighter characters and the strong influences from tv and film that they are inspired from.

Guys, I know who Q really is... Q is R.Mika! It's so obvious! Okay, but seriously, I don't think Q himself is a robot and some people say he's M.Bison, though he doesn't really fit Bison's frame or style. Some people say he's Sagat, but... the fighting style is too dissimilar and I don't think Sagat has any reason to run around in a trench coat. So, as for who Q really is, I don't know. For all we know Q is Q. Though, it could be Alex's dead friend or something, I dunno.

I like him better as a secret mid boss then Gouki.  I think SF4 should have more secret bosses.




Looking back at SF Alpha, it developed on what happened with before SF2. It included Charlie who was only mentioned and Akuma who was a mysterious boss himself. Heck, SF Alpha gave us some info on some characters backstories. But, it was non-cannon. Alpha 2 and 3 was what gave us the info about what happened leading up to SF2. So there is hope there, that the second installment will help explain a bit more things. I find it appropriate for Q himself to be a secret boss in some installment of SF4.

Thinking back on how much damage Q is can do, his difficulty to master, and the requirements of what's needed to fight him. The guy's rightfully a boss (not a full fledged one, but a potential boss). Another thing, although this isn't exactly related to Q's identity, he seems contained. Thinking about how stiffly he moves, his defensive and offensive capabilities and his lack of speed, I'd say that he's holding back. So, if Capcom were to help work on Q more, I can see the possibility of a upgraded/super-boss version of him. He doesn't have to exactly be aggressive, but thinking back on how Geese Howard had a habit of countering many of your moves, a sort of boss version of Q could be doing something similar instead of being spammy like other secret boss can be. Thinking if they brought back the parrying, I can see that, even if he's slow, he'd be a nightmare to fight since he'd use more defensive/counter moves and then he'd smash you with a hard hitting combo.

Well, that's my 2 cents on the subject

Hmmm, interesting thoughts indeed, I never really gave thought to Q (despite al his power) holding back.  He could definitely be an intersting secret boss if brought back, also it'd be a bit fresh instead of it always being Akuma.

The only reason I hope Q is not Joe from Street Fighter is Joe seriously got on my nerves KOing me left and right.


I kind of prefer Q being a mystery that we never really get a back story to. I think he'd be amazing in SSF4, but still as a mystery.
