Vulcano Rosso is
a mysterious Italian warrior who resides on a base located somewhere in the
Mediterranean Sea. He was a member of an organization trying to overrule
Europe, but he left the organization after his girlfriend was killed by a
traitor. Her death caused him to develop a burning desire for revenge. At some
point, he became acquainted with a bodyguard organization in Las Vegas, where
he met Jack. He has the
ability to create violent and dangerous attacks that utilize lava and volcanic
eruptions. In Italian, his name literally translates to "Red Volcano".
In Fighting EX Layer,
Rosso began his new life as the "Narcissist Detective" after
graduating from the Organization. Although initially he didn't intend on
taking a request from a certain rich princess, once he heard the target was
Jack he changed his mind.

Vulcano Rosso is a
"different" type of design that the Street Fighter series has
never seen before. Aside from looking
like he's straight out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Vulcano also
resembles Maxi from Soul Calibur -
in more ways than one. It's interesting because Namco debuted Maxi in Soul Calibur
in July 30th, 1998, while Street Fighter EX2 also came
out in 1998 (not sure which month), so it's a bit of a conspiracy.
Anyhow, V.Rosso is very unique to the Street Fighter series in terms of looks and
fighting style. As a player who enjoys many other fighting games besides Street
Fighter, Vulcano's design was refreshing. He actually has a more "KOF vibe" about
him, being as overly-flamboyant as he is.
He's got an weirdly unique play-style with some very "cool" animations, and from
what I remember, he enabled you to trick up your opponents pretty well. His flashy
clothing style is "loud"... but somehow it works. After the EX
series died, I figured we'd never see this guy again. Nice to see him return in
Fighting EX Layer!
