Due to Male Wire Frame only being playable via [[hacking]], he has been banned in competitive play since ''Melee's'' release. This is primarily due to accessibility issues; loading the game modded takes time, money, and logistics that tournament organisers have to work around. Furthermore, the win screen causes the game to [[crash]] without additional modifications, which would cause more time to be spent loading a match and delay events.

Male Wire Frame's first documented tournament appearance was in Winners Round 1 of [https://www.start.gg/tournament/man-on-a-ledge-528/event/melee-singles/set/76976987 Man on a Ledge #528], played by {{Sm|Gumball}}.<ref>[https://x.com/JonnyGumball/status/1812103859696717925 Proof Tweet]</ref> Outside of this appearance, Male Wire Frame has seen zero representation.

Despite experimentation and advancements in ''Melee'' modding, Male Wire Frame has not been made legal. This is possibly due to a potential slippery slope in allowing {{SSBM|Giga Bowser}}, a severely metagame-warping character, alongside the other unplayable characters. In other words, while Male Wire Frame's metagame impact would likely be minimal, the consequences of other unplayable characters being made legal could be too severe to justify.
Despite this experimentation and advancements in ''Melee'' modding, Male Wire Frame has not been made legal. This is possibly due to a potential slippery slope in allowing {{SSBM|Giga Bowser}}, a severely metagame-warping character, alongside the other unplayable characters. Ergo, while Male Wire Frame's metagame impact would likely be minimal, the impact from others could be too large to justify. Ergo, Male Wire Frame has not been legalised in standard tournament play, and has not seen even a single documented bracket match.
