The '''Fighting Wire Frames''' ({{ja|謎のザコ敵軍団}}, ''Nazo no Zako Tekigun Dan'', also known as the '''Mysterious Small Fry Enemy Army Group''') are common enemies in various 1-player modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


==Overview==
==Overview==
The Fighting Wire Frames are, true to their name, a framework of pink lines in a humanoid shape, based on wire frame models used in the development of 3D games. Their faces feature the ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo, and a red heart-like object can be found within their chests. Fighting Wire Frames come in male and female varieties, modeled after {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} (and by association, his [[clone]] {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}) and {{SSBM|Zelda}}, whose standard attacks they borrow. They are considered to be successors to the Fighting Polygon Team and the predecessors of the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], though they have a larger role than either of them.


Generally, they are weak and light fighters, and are very easy to KO; as to compensate their lack of recoveries due to their inability to use [[special move]]s, the Fighting Wire Frames have high jumping prowess. They are also unable to charge smash attacks and their moves are much weaker versions of Captain Falcon and Zelda's attacks. Two obvious examples are Captain Falcon's [[Knee Smash]] and Zelda's [[Lightning Kick]], which do not have the power or electricity in the Wire Frame version. However, some do have distinguishing factors, such as faster frame data and/or larger hitboxes. The Fighting Wire Frames are also larger than their counterparts, and have larger native hurtboxes, with the aim of making them easier to hit in various game modes.

In {{SSBM|Adventure Mode}}, the Fighting Wire Frames are fought in a low-gravity version of {{SSBM|Battlefield}}. They fulfill the same role as the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] from [[1P Game]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', attacking the player in large groups before the player finally faces [[Giant Bowser]]. They also appear in all modes of [[Multi-Man Melee]], the first of the "Multi-Man" game modes, as well as [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]], where they do much of the same thing.  
Wire Frames have the property of being unable to be [[Star KO|Star]] or [[Screen KO]]'d. The Event Match Legendary Pokémon, however, acts as an exception.


The two "sexes" of Wire Frames behave differently; males always home towards the player's character, whereas the females tend to play a more passive role, rarely directly assaulting or attacking the player. In [[Cruel Melee]], however, all Wire Frames are extremely aggressive, and are also handicapped to be extremely powerful and harder to knock off-stage. Characters cannot survive easily among the Wire Frames because of their amplified power and aggressive [[edge-guarding]]. The power of these Wire Frames became the center of an infamous [[List of rumors#Sonic and Tails hoax|April Fool's joke]].

The two Wire Frames can be used by players through [[hacking]]. The {{SSBM|debug menu}} is one method, where they are known by the menu as '''CKIND_BOY''' and '''CKIND_GIRL'''. They can also be accessed through character modifier Gameshark Codes. When playable, the Wire Frames are considered to be extremely weak, with the Male Wire Frame being the stronger of the two by virtue of having a more coherent moveset derived from {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. Female Wire Frame is arguably the worst character in the game next to Sandbag, being a [[nerf]]ed version of {{SSBM|Zelda}}, a character already in contention for being one of the worst of the standard roster.
Wire Frames appear in all modes of [[Multi-Man Melee]], in [[Battlefield (SSBM)|Battlefield]] during Adventure mode, and in [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]].

===Male Wire Frame===
''Who built the Fighting Wire Frames and to what purpose remains a mystery. They're a simple collection of wires which house a sparse framework of bones and organs that lends them a rather disturbing appearance. They look rather big and powerful, but in reality, both their offensive and defensive abilities are subpar.

They tend to attack in gangs.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Even though Captain Falcon has the fastest dashing speed and is a much better jumper than Zelda (who is one of the worst jumpers and slowest dashers), the Female Wire Frames have the same run speed as Male Wire Frames, as both attributes are taken from {{SSBM|Mario}}.
*Even though Captain Falcon has the fastest dashing speed and is a much better jumper than Zelda (who is one of the worst jumpers and slowest dashers), the Female Wire Frames run faster and jump higher than the Male Wire Frames.
*A Male Wire Frame's name will be displayed on Pokémon Stadium as 'ZAKO otoko' and a Female's will be displayed as "ZAKO onna". "otoko" and "onna" mean Man and Woman in Japanese respectively. "ZAKO" roughly translates to "small-fry" and is also used to denote ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Fighting Alloy Team]].
*In SSBM's Sound Test, the Announcer has a voice clip that exclaims "Fighting Wire Frames" even though they are not present in Classic or All-Star mode.
**Furthermore, the Fighting Alloy Team have cores that resemble the bodies of the Fighting Wire Frames.
*A Male Wire Frame's name will be displayed on Pokemon Stadium as 'ZAKO otoko'.
*In Adventure Mode and Multi-Man Melee, the Wire Frames have the property of being unable to be [[Star KO|Star]] or [[Screen KO]]'d, likely to make KOing them quicker and more streamlined. However, this does not apply in [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]].
