Today we will reveal some details about this character and help you play Marco better in Metal Slug: Awakening.

Character Design

Marco's design is so classic that you can tell it's him no matter when you see a robust young man with golden short hair, white hairband, and his red tactical vest. The whole look of his hair, hairband and uniform is modeled after Snake and Bart, from Datsugoku: P.O.W.. If you have seen Sylvester Stallone from Rambo III, the hero's physique is the archetype of Marco's.

Also, it is also said that Marco Rossi is a stronger version of David Bowie.

Character Story

After graduation from the officer's school at the Academy of Special Technologies, Marco Rossi joined the Peregrine Falcons, where he later rose to lieutenant and major in several events. Due to his excellent competence in training and his skills in computer science and programming, he stood out quickly among others and distinguished himself as the leader of this force.

As one of the top soldiers in the regular Army's "Peregrine Falcons," Marco Rossi is in charge of battling the Army under General Donald Morden, who is fervently devoted to creating a new global order. In an exhilarating battle of justice, Marco Rossi and his partner Tarma Roving must save the world from turmoil and reclaim their secret super vehicle, SV-001.

Building Guide

As the first playable character in Metal Slug: Awakening, You can get a hand on Marco's skills. His skill is throwing grenades to blast enemies away from his path. And his Ultimate skill can slow the time down and allow him to shoot in high rate with the Two Machine Guns, also named Double-barrel Heavy Machine Guns.

For the most appropriate weapon for Marco Rossi, we recommend HMGs(Heavy Machine Gun), which is corresponding with his Ultimate. The quick fire rate for his skill will be triggered for more projectiles and higher damage. Before unlocking other higher-rarity carry heroes, you can use this combination of Marco and HMGs to beat the battles.
