Wiki History Listing


V1 [b]El Fuerte[/b] ([i]"The Strong"[/i] in Spanish) is a masked Mexican [[luchador]] from the [[Street Fighter]] [[video game]] franchise by [[Capcom]].

He balances his love of wrestling and cooking very well. El Fuerte now travels the world in search of the greatest recipes. Despite his love of [[cooking]], it seems he is actually quite incompetent as a chef. Many of his moves have Mexican [[food]] themed names.

In the UDON comic series of Street Fighter, it shows that El Fuerte is a big fan of R. Mika. As a wrestler, he automatically recognized fellow wrestler, [[Zangief]], as "Tornado Rojo" (a.k.a. Red Cyclone); he then announces his title as "The Hurricane of the Gulf of [[Mexico]].". He also has a friendly rivalry with [[Thunder Hawk]], having been bested by him before the events of [[street_fighter_iv_(series)|Super Street Fighter IV]] and told to challenge him again when he got stronger. Unlike the other characters of the series, El Fuerte takes his source of inspiration from real wrestlers from Mexico, in particular [i]El Santo[/i] ("The Saint"), the most prominent masked Mexican wrestler of the past half-century, who also wore a silver mask and was famous for his exciting wrestling style.

El Fuerte is voiced by Ono Daisuke in Japanese, and J.B. Blanc in English.
