Rolento is travelling the world to seek allies to further strengthen his cause. In particular, Rolento is searching for an old rival named Cody in the hopes that he may help him build his own utopia.
Pros
Cons
One of the most mobile characters in the game with super jump and a variety of rolls/leaps
Back roll offers a way to instantly reposition quickly
Wall jump and super jump make escaping corners easy
Super jump lets him start air pressure from much further away and can be used to setup cross-ups or escape situations
Rekkas offer good combo damage in many situations
s. LP cannot be ducked and is plus on block, which can create very oppressive pressure for him. c. MK can also be confirmed from counter-hit.
Great normals on the ground with c. FP, s. FP and slide
Jump jab is an incredibly quick and long range air to air
A very effective air grab due to his super jump arc
Far s. FP is a great pre-emptive anti-air from closer up
Level 3 tripwire super is safe on block
Good meter build post custom
One of the best alpha counters in the game (V-ISM) that lets him potentially setup customs off it
No meterless reversal
Lacks any way to combo into his supers
Has a fat standing hurtbox that makes him easy to cross-up
Rekkas are very unsafe on block
Grounded anti-airs are somewhat spacing-specific. b. FP is a key anti-air normal that's only available on V-ISM. s. MP isn't what it was in A2.
Pogo (d. MK in the air) has a weird punishable bounce that prevents it from being the god jump-in/mobility tool it is in A2 or CvS2.
Ground starter customs are very difficult and only do mediocre damage due to high scaling from rekkas
Super jump input overlapping makes crouch cancelling harder
Being hit during a super jump always counts as a counter-hit and puts you into juggle state
Technically has an infinite, but is basically TAS-only

In V-ISM after the bounce you are not restricted to using the spike rod only as a follow up regular air normals can be used unlike A-ISM, while X-ISM has no bounce and trajectory can be controlled like in SFA2.
Rolento slides forward while spinning his rod in front of him for multiple hits. Repeating the motion a second and third time will perform two more rod-spinning attacks. The stronger the Punch button used, the faster and farther Rolento slides.

The strength of the attack determines the angle of the knife: Light Attack: almost straight down, Medium Attack: 45º diagonal angle, Hard Attack: a more horizental angle

Rolento tugs a wire that rises along the ground in front of him. If it hits his opponent, Rolento will leap to the middle of the screen, and string the wire over a hook held by one of his soldiers, then yank the wire up to hang the opponent. This super is bugged vs Cody as he cannot block it.

Miscellaneous
Idle, Crouching, Airborne:
The Basics
Which Ism?
V-ISM, his vcs do very little damage due to the disgusting damage scaling on his rekka and are difficult to pull off but they mainly are just there to keep your opponent honest, his alpha counter is probably the best in the game an will punish most medium strength attacks and you gain access to his close st. fierce which gives you another anti air option which is good in the zangief matchup.
A-ISM:
No reliable way to combo into his supers. Not worth using over V-ISM.
V-ISM:
Easily his best ISM. Can activate from a variety of situations, as long as the player has the execution to get enough damage.
Makes jumping around with him a lot safer.
X-ISM:
Forced super jump is more of an annoyance than anything. Gains a much better pogo (no punishable bounce) and can be very annoying, but generally gets blown up by reaction activates.
