El Fuerte is a hyper, easily excitable fighter who constantly thinks out loud about new recipes even during a fight. He frequently seeks inspiration from other fighters he meets because of their various origins across the globe, much to the annoyance of some, but to the amusement of others. His cooking has mixed results. In the games, he frequently whips up unusual combinations after becoming overexcited from all the ingredients he gathered while abroad. His cooking ideas are controversial.
