In his prime, Vicario was known for his consistency, athleticism, and his quick and explosive reflexes, despite his tall stature, which made him an excellent shot-stopper. He has been described as a "ball-playing goalkeeper," in the media, due to his penchant for playing with his feet and acting as a "sweeper keeper," even though his ability with his feet was initially cited as a weakness in his game; however, he showed significant improvements in this aspect of the game during his time at Tottenham. He has cited former Inter goalkeeper, Samir Handanović, as a major influence. Due to his goalkeeping ability and his intense and fiery temperament, he has been given the nickname "Venom Vicario" by his fans, a reference to the Marvel character of the same name. In his youth, Venezia fans nicknamed him "fagiolino" ("green bean," in English), a reference to his slender physical build at the time.
