'''Male Wire Frame''' (謎のザコ敵軍団, Mysterious Small Fry Enemy Corps), is an [[unplayable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and only playable via [[hacking]]. He is unvoiced and a [[clone]] of {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}.

When playable, as is the case with most [[Multi-Man Melee]]-style characters, Male Wire Frame is worse than all of the viable roster. With a lack of [[special moves]], his recovery is poor and his neutral is thoroughly limited. Additionally, his floaty physics and 15 native frames of [[landing lag]] make mounting an offense difficult, the latter forcing him to land in unorthodox ways, such as [[wavelanding]] or [[l-cancel]]ling aerials. His large size also causes many of his moves to miss against shorter characters while making him more vulnerable defensively. His moves also have near-universally lower knockback than Captain Falcon's, rendering some unsafe on hit at lower percents. However, his moves generally have much larger hitboxes, and faster frame data; this applies particularly to his [[forward smash]], which has improvements that make it a burst option and consistent whiff punish. He also has a much higher jump, which gives him unique [[recovery]] options and ways to push his advantage state. These unique traits come together to make his playstyle significantly different from Captain Falcon or {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}. Thus, if legal, while he may not be in contention for the worst character in the game, he would be firmly in the lower spectrum of the tier list.

In the event of winning in [[VS Mode]] or [[Special Smash]], without additional modifications, Male Wire Frame crashes the game upon the [[results screen]] being reached, due to lacking a winning animation. Losing allows the game to progress, where the game erroneously calls him {{SSBM|Sheik}}. 

==Codes==
Male Wire Frame can be played as using the following Action Replay codes and choosing any character on the [[Character select screen]]. Alternatively, he can be enabled with [[Debug mode]].

==Attributes==
Male Wire Frame is a brawler of average speed but possesses the highest [[double jump]] of the ''Melee'' cast, which gives him unique [[edge guard]]ing and ceiling-based [[KO]] opportunities. Some of the traits that make {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} successful remain: His [[up aerial]] has a large [[hitbox]] and can perform a Tipman Spike, his throws can set up for [[chain grab]] mixups against fast fallers like {{SSBM|Falco}}, and his [[up tilt]] has a wide-reaching hitbox that can score [[KO]]s at around 130%. However, the similarities end there.

Male Wire Frame's large hitboxes make him excellent at platform pressure, with his up tilt, up aerial, and up smash all having large, long-lasting hitboxes that cover entire platforms easily. They also, generally, make him better at poking the opponent and keeping them away from centre-stage. His long [[roll]]s also give him some more effective defensive grounded movement, which can be useful against jump-ins and position Male Wire Frame for a counterattack. Thus, Male Wire Frame can employ strong bait-and-punish tactics in his [[neutral game]]. He also profits from having a [[down throw]] similar to {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s, giving him a very easy chain grab at lower [[percentage]]s and racking up damage quickly.

Male Wire Frame's physics can be described as the polar opposite of Captain Falcon's. Whereas Captain Falcon is fast on the ground, Male Wire Frame is slow. Whereas Captain Falcon is a [[fast faller]], Male Wire Frame is extremely floaty. This makes Male Wire Frame's combo game somewhat more limited (though uniquely different and strong) until higher percents, with his extremely high [[double jump]] and abnormally slow [[fall speed]] (even when [[fast fall]]ing) making it hard for him to chase an opponent he launched down to follow up. Coupled with his weaker moves, Male Wire Frame is goaded into playing a significantly different playstyle to Captain Falcon, centered around making use of his larger reach to poke the opponent and eventually edgeguard them, often using his up tilt to land the stock. He can't close out stocks easily outside of this, as most of his moves are very weak and struggle to launch characters off-stage even at 100%; ergo, [[crouch cancel]]ling is his kryptonite.

Without access to [[special move]]s, Male Wire Frame has an abysmal [[recovery]] with few mix-ups. His floaty physics mean that while he is capable of occupying aerial space effectively, he has trouble getting back to the ground, leaving him vulnerable to [[juggling]] and making it difficult to escape disadvantageous situations. This is compounded by his native 15 frames of [[landing lag]], which is shared with his aerials when l-cancelled. Thus, he usually wants to land with an l-cancelled aerial, at least giving him a hitbox to potentially protect himself with. However, out of these aerial moves, he lacks a reliable one to actually use for this purpose, as they all lose to [[disjoint]]ed attacks. Worse still, even when grounded, he has a worse [[shield]] than Captain Falcon, being easily [[shield stab]]bed by characters like {{SSBM|Marth}}, as it fails to properly protect his lower half. As a result, while he has traits that make him more effective than characters like low-tiers like {{SSBM|Zelda}}, he arguably sits in the same rank, being among the lower end of the ''Melee'' tier list.

==Differences from {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}==
In general, Male Wire Frame is floatier and slower than Captain Falcon, and has weaker attacks. Contrasting this, he has faster attacks with larger and longer-lasting hitboxes with little variation in the moves. Many of his movement statistics are copied from {{SSBM|Mario}}.

===Aesthetics===
* {{change|Male Wire Frame is larger than Captain Falcon (Model Scaling 0.97 → 1.3), giving him better reach, but a larger hurtbox, and this can also cause some moves to miss against shorter opponents.}}
* {{change|Male Wire Frame is unvoiced.}}

* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's Vertical Jump Initial Velocity is lower (3.1 → 2.5).}}
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's Vertical Jump Maximum Velocity is slightly lower (3.1 → 3).}}
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's Horizontal Jump Maximum Velocity is slightly lower (2.1 → 2).}}

* {{change|Male Wire Frame's Terminal Velocity is lower (2.9 → 2).}}
* {{change|Male Wire Frame's Max Horizontal Aerial Velocity is lower (1.12 → 1).}}
* {{change|Male Wire Frame's Aerial Friction is higher (0.01 → 0.02).}}
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's Fast Fall Terminal Velocity is lower (3.5 → 2), which with all of his aerial changes makes it far more difficult to land.}}
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame is slightly lighter (104 → 100), making it easier for him to escape [[combo]]s but also easier to [[KO]].}}
* {{change|Male Wire Frame's [[shield break|Shield Break]] velocity is much higher (2.7 → 5), making him rocket up off-screen, but never enough for an [[SD]]. Because he is [[intangible]] throughout, this does not affect gameplay outside of running out the timer.}}
* {{change|Male Wire Frame's Ledge Jump Initial Velocity is lower (3.3 → 3).}}
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's Wall Jump Horizontal Velocity is much lower (1.4 → 0.5).}}

===Ground attacks===
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame does not have a Jab 3 or Rapid Jab.}}
* {{nerf|Jab 2 deals less damage (3% → 2%).}}
*{{nerf|Dash attack deals less damage (10% (clean)/7% (late) → 8%/6%).}}
*{{nerf|Dash attack launches at a higher angle (361˚ → 90˚), removing its ability to send opponents offstage to set up edgeguards, while not granting it any combo potential, or the ability to KO off the top.}}
* {{nerf|Forward tilt deals less damage (11% → 9%).}}
* {{nerf|Down tilt deals less damage (12% → 10%).}}
**{{buff|However, the reduced knockback allows it to combo for longer.}}
* {{buff|Down tilt has much more active frames (10-15 → 10-19).}}
* {{nerf|Up tilt deals less damage (13% → 12%).}}
* {{buff|Up tilt reaches much higher due to Male Wire Frame's increased size, making it hit players on platforms much more consistently.}}
* {{buff|Up tilt is interruptible much sooner (FAF: 38 → 30).}}
* {{nerf|Up tilt's hitbox sizes weren't adjusted, leaving a much bigger gap between the thigh hitbox and foot hitbox.}}
* {{nerf|Forward smash deals much less damage ({{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|21}}(up)/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}}(neutral)/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|19}}(down) → 13%/12%/12%).}}
* {{change|Forward smash's hitbox timing is different to Falcon's (18-21 → 15-19). This allows it to damage opponents sooner, however the animation was not sped up to compensate, and as such the hitboxes become active while Male Wire Frame's arm is still behind him, making it unlikely to connect with opponent's earlier anyway, and the hitbox also stops becoming active earlier, while both Falcon and MWF are still sliding forward, reducing its potential range, though this is partially offset by the hitboxes being much bigger.}}
* {{buff|Forward smash is interruptible much sooner, by 18 frames (FAF: 60 → 42).}}
* {{nerf|Up smash deals much less damage (Hit 1: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|8}}/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} → 6%, Hit 2: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}}/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}} → 8%), and is much worse at KOing as a result.}}
* {{buff|Up smash's first hit lasts a frame longer (21-22 → 21-23).}}
* {{buff|Up smash's second hit starts a frame earlier and lasts a frame longer (27-28 → 26-29).}}
* {{nerf|Down smash deals less damage (Hit 1: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|18}} → 12%, Hit 2: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} → 9%).}}
* {{buff|Down smash starts a frame earlier (19 → 18).}}
* {{buff|Down smash is interruptible much sooner (45 → 37).}}

===Aerial attacks===
* {{nerf|Male Wire Frame's hard landing lag is much higher (4 → 15), though this can be somewhat mitigated by [[wavelanding]], which replaces the landing lag with the standard 10 frames for airdodge landings.}}
* {{nerf|All of Male Wire Frame's aerials have 30 frames of landing lag (NAir: 15 → 30, FAir: 19 → 30, BAir: 18 → 30, UAir: 30 → 15, DAir: 24 → 30).}}
* {{nerf|Neutral aerial deals less damage (Hit 1: 7% → 5%, Hit 2: 6% → 5%).}}
* {{nerf|Forward aerial deals much less damage and is far less powerful (Sweetspot: 18% → 9%, Sourspot: 6% → 5%).}}
* {{buff|Forward aerial is interruptible sooner (39 → 36).}}
* {{change|Forward aerial autocancel lockout is a frame earlier, but also a frame later (7-34 → 6-35).}}
* {{change|Back aerial deals less damage, but is technically more consistent thanks to not having a late hitbox (14%/8% → 10%).}}
* {{buff|Back aerial's hitbox lingers for much longer (10-17 → 10-22).}}
* {{nerf|Back aerial has a slightly wider autocancel lockout window (7-20 → 7-21).}}
* {{change|Up aerial's clean hit deals less damage, but the late hit deals more (13%/6% → 10%/8%).}}
* {{buff|Up aerial is interruptible sooner (33 → 30).}}
*{{buff|Up aerial has a longer hitbox duration (6-13 → 6-16) due to Falcon's version containing a programming error.}}
* {{nerf|Down aerial deals less damage (16% → 12%).}}
* {{change|Down aerial's autocancel lockout window begins a frame earlier and ends a frame later (4-35 → 3-36).}}

==Grab attacks==
* {{buff|Dash grab starts a frame earlier (10 → 9).}}
*{{change|Up throw launches at a slightly higher angle.}}
*{{buff|Down throw launches at a higher angle and deals slightly less knockback, improving its combo potential, especially against DI away.}}

==Moveset==
''For a gallery of Male Wire Frame's hitboxes, see [[Male Wire Frame (SSBM)/Hitboxes|here]].''
{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBM
|neutralcount=2
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=1%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutraldesc=A simple one-two punch. Jab 1 is frame 3, making it decently fast for its range, but deals next to no damage and knockback, as there isn't a Jab 3 and the Jab 2 is designed to link into one. Due to his size, this move misses shorter characters, even mid-sized ones like {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}.
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltangles=3
|ftiltupdmg=9%
|ftiltsidedmg=9%
|ftiltdowndmg=9%
|ftiltdesc=A high-reaching diagonal kick. With Male Wire Frame's larger model, it has further reach, and thus can be effective against jump-ins without [[disjoint]]s. However, also due to this height, it misses shorter characters up-close, even {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. 
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=12%
|utiltdesc=Male Wire Frame performs an axe kick, his heel coming down hard. Arguably his best move, its range is even wider than Captain Falcon's, covering platforms and the ledge extremely well. Because it can score KOs at around 130% from the ledge and can reach slightly below, it's Male Wire Frame's main method of closing out stocks. 
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=10%
|dtiltdesc=Male Wire Frame crouches down and does a sliding kick. The hitboxes last for 4 more frames compared to Captain Falcon, and combined with the different frame data on most of his moves, there is some potential combo utility. This includes follow-ups into forward smash and up aerial.
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=8% (clean), 6% (late)
|dashdesc=Shoulder tackles forward. Strongest when it comes out, weaker afterward. Fairly fast, good for knocking the foe away from the ledge to follow with an aerial attack or edgeguard, with proper mindgaming/prediction.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashangles=3
|fsmashupdmg=12%
|fsmashsidedmg=12%
|fsmashdowndmg=12%
|fsmashdesc=Reels his elbow back and thrusts it forward. Can't be charged. Uniquely actionable on frame 42, 22 less frames than Captain Falcon's. Because of how far Male Wire Frame lunges forward, coupled with this actionability, forward smash becomes an effective burst option, covering landings well. It's also one of his better options for hitting grounded opponents, having a better hitbox than his other forward-facing moves, though it still whiffs against [[crouch]]es. 
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg=6% (hit 1), 7% (hit 2)
|usmashdesc=Performs a spinning double kick. A fast and powerful move, with longer range and longer-lasting hitboxes than Captain Falcon's, making it effective for [[sharking]] under [[platform]]s. Can't be charged. The second hit sometimes has difficulty connecting, as with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s, but is slightly more consistent. 
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg=12% (front), 9% (back)
|dsmashdesc=Quickly kicks forward then backward. Small noticeable startup, but good speed and knockback, and has 1 less frame of start-up than Captain Falcon's. Can't be charged. Good for covering [[tech chase]]s, [[ledge trapping]], and can occasionally close out a stock. Can potentially be followed up from down tilt.
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=5% (hit 1), 5% (hit 2)
|nairdesc=Captain A clone of Captain Falcon's neutral aerial. While it still struggles to connect and has terrible landing lag, because of Male Wire Frame's floaty nature, it ends up being more consistent if used to [[juggle]] opponents in the air, rather than combo like Captain Falcon's. In this case, it can consistently connect into up aerial, allowing for some KO setups, especially on [[DI]] in.
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=9% (clean), 5% (late)
|fairdesc=Sticks out his knee to perform Captain Falcon's [[Knee Smash]]. Much, much weaker compared to Captain Falcon's, dealing almost no damage or knockback. Arguably useless, only being useful for sneaky [[gimp]]s.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=10%
|bairdesc=Does a quick backhand punch from behind. It lasts a long time and has little lag, making it useful as an [[edgeguarding]] tool. However, it is extremely weak compared to Captain Falcon's, so it has much less off-stage utility.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=10% (clean), 8% (late)
|uairdesc=Does a midair bicycle kick and sticks his feet out. Knockback direction depends on what angle the move hits the foe, though strong nonetheless. Also good for [[juggling]] and edgeguarding if hit near the end of the attack. Its large hitbox and Male Wire Frame's floaty nature gives it solid platform coverage. Because of Male Wire Frame's floaty nature, he can use a run-off up aerial for unique edgeguarding strings against high recoveries; it also has a Tipman Spike near the end of the move.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=12%
|dairdesc=Male Wire Frame stomps below him for a solid [[meteor smash]] and brutally high hitstun. It has minor startup and ending lag, with similar landing lag, but also maintains Captain Falcon's infamous [[nipple spike]] and combo ability. Following up with neutral aerial into up aerial makes for a decent [[combo]] that deals over 40%. Uniquely compared to Captain Falcon, the move reaches far below platforms, giving some useful defence against sharking.
|grabname=
|grabdesc=Normal grab starts on frame 6, dash grab starts on frame 9. Notably, the dash grab begins a frame sooner than Captain Falcon's.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=3%
|pummeldesc=Knees opponent in the torso region.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=9% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Punches foe forward.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=9% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Kicks foe behind. Knockback is usually hard to follow-up or combo with unless over a ledge.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=7% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Punches foe upward, and can [[chain grab]] [[fast fall]]ers like {{SSBM|Fox}} at lower percentages. At higher percentages, aerial followups are easier to land.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=7%
|dthrowdesc=Crushes foe to the floor. Works largely like {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s, giving him ample [[chain grab]] utility against even characters like {{SSBM|Sheik}}. 
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Gets up and flips while kicking.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Stands on both hands and does a spinning double kick.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=10%
|edgefdesc=Picks himself up and kicks forward.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=8%
|edgesdesc=Slowly gets up and punches in front of him.

==In [[competitive play]]==
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. However, Male Wire Frame has seen experimentation by a notable players in {{Sm|Abate}}, with a combo video<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9tTN2c7tg&ab_channel=srabate Abate's Male Wire Frame combo video]</ref> and an exhibition match at {{Trn|The Shape of Melee to Come 5}} called "Abate's Wireframe Challenge"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1GTh-i7fK4&ab_channel=PGHSmash Abate's Wireframe Challenge]</ref>. Outside of Abate, videos attempting to build his metagame have amassed thousands of views on [[YouTube]]; notably, a video by Big Yellow earned over 200,000<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrtelB8prlA&pp=ygUVYWJhdGUgbWFsZSB3aXJlIGZyYW1l Big Yellow video]</ref>. Despite this experimentation and advancements in modding, Male Wire Frame has not been made legal, possibly due to {{SSBM|Giga Bowser}}'s potentially metagame-warping nature should he be allowed alongside the other unplayable characters. Ergo, while Male Wire Frame's metagame impact would likely be minimal, he has not been legalised in tournament play, and has not seen even a single documented bracket match.

==In 1-P Mode==
===In [[Multi-Man Melee]]===
[[File:SSBM Multi Man.png|thumb|200px|Male Wire Frame in 100-Man Melee.]]
Male Wire Frame, as part of the Fighting Wire Frame duo, is a central fixture in Multi-Man Melee, with them attacking the player in gangs. He appears in all modes, including [[Cruel Melee]], where they are extremely threatening. In these modes, Male Wire Frame usually has a handicap, changing his statistics dramatically.

However, Male Wire Frame has seen experimentation by a notable players in {{Sm|Abate}}, with a combo video<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9tTN2c7tg&ab_channel=srabate Abate's Male Wire Frame combo video]</ref> and an exhibition match at {{Trn|The Shape of Melee to Come 5}} called "Abate's Wireframe Challenge"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1GTh-i7fK4&ab_channel=PGHSmash Abate's Wireframe Challenge]</ref>. Outside of Abate, videos attempting to build his metagame have amassed thousands of views on [[YouTube]]; notably, a video by Big Yellow earned over 200,000<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrtelB8prlA&pp=ygUVYWJhdGUgbWFsZSB3aXJlIGZyYW1l Big Yellow video]</ref>. Despite this experimentation and advancements in modding, Male Wire Frame has not been made legal, possibly due to {{SSBM|Giga Bowser}}'s potentially metagame-warping nature should he be allowed alongside the other unplayable characters. Ergo, while Male Wire Frame's metagame impact would likely be minimal, he has not been legalised in tournament play, and has not seen even a single documented bracket match.

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.

 |desc=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.
