Brawl]]'' and only playable via [[hacking]]. He's a [[clone]] of {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}. | ||
When playable, much like many [[Multi-Man Brawl]] characters, Red Alloy is worse than a good portion of the ''Brawl'' roster. {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} already struggled with landing [[combo]]s and [[KO]]s, mainly due to ''Brawl's'' substantial mechanics changes from ''Melee'', and Red Alloy suffers from this even more due to what more is removed; Red Alloy cannot [[shield]], grab the [[ledge]], and lacks all of Captain Falcon's trademark [[special move]]s. What really hurts Red Alloy, however, is the 40 frames of [[landing lag]] across all of Red Alloy's attacks: This makes utilising [[up aerial]] extremely difficult, and with a weaker [[Knee Smash]] as insult to injury, there is very little that Red Alloy can offer. The one thing Red Alloy has over Captain Falcon is generally stronger hitboxes, such as on [[up smash]], [[down aerial]], and [[dash attack]], but this does little to make up for the extreme nerfs otherwise received to movement and endlag. | When playable, much like many [[Multi-Man Brawl]] characters, Red Alloy is worse than a good portion of the ''Brawl'' roster. {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} already struggled with landing [[combo]]s and [[KO]]s, mainly due to ''Brawl's'' substantial mechanics changes from ''Melee'', and Red Alloy suffers from this even more due to what more is removed; Red Alloy cannot [[shield]], grab the [[ledge]], and lacks all of Captain Falcon's trademark [[special move]]s.

However, whereas Male Wire Frame has unusually large hitboxes and access to techniques like [[L-canceling]], Red Alloy doesn't necessarily make up for the reduced movement, aside from [[trip]]ping less. | ||
Red Alloy's attacks are largely the same as Captain Falcon's, but with a lack of [[special move]]s, Red Alloy has an extreme lack of burst options to close distance, relying primarily on dash attack in this respect. This, coupled with worsened movement and the same lack of disjoint as Captain Falcon, makes approaching with Red Alloy extremely difficult. While | Red Alloy's attacks are largely the same as Captain Falcon's, but with a lack of [[special move]]s, Red Alloy has an extreme lack of burst options to close distance, relying primarily on dash attack in this respect. This, coupled with worsened movement and the same lack of disjoint as Captain Falcon, makes approaching with Red Alloy extremely difficult. While his aerials are somewhat improved — forward aerial doesn't have a sourspot on its early hit in exchange for some power, back aerial lasts longer, and down aerial has the [[nipple spike]] from ''Melee'' — the 40 frames of landing lag make them virtually unusable if not swinging for a stock. Ergo, Red Alloy can't approach reliably on the ground or in the air, easily being suffocated by characters like {{SSBB|King Dedede}} and {{SSBB|Falco}} in neutral, unable to [[shield]] against their overwhelming tools. However, Red Alloy can find [[stock]]s more consistently, with down aerial always landing a meteor smash and having an incredibly strong up smash, but with so many issues getting in to do meaningful damage, finding opportunities to use them is difficult. | ||

With an inability to grab the ledge and no [[Falcon Dive]], this makes his recovery extremely easy to [[gimp]], not even being able to recover if sent at even a [[Sakurai angle]]. With only average weight, it isn't hard to send Red Alloy off-stage either, especially given that being unable to [[airdodge]] also makes him incapable of [[hitstun canceling]], which makes him uniquely easy to combo. | ||

Due to Red Alloy only being playable via [[hacking]], | Due to Red Alloy only being playable via [[hacking]], he's been banned in competitive play since ''Brawl's'' release. While the accessibility of Wii modding makes it relatively easy to add the Fighting Alloys to the character select screen, and they don't crash the game unlike the [[Fighting Wire Frames]] upon winning, the entry barrier still exists. This barrier also causes logistical issues that tournament organisers have to work around, such as the potential for installing further mods to cheat, consoles not having the appropriate mods installed that can cause setup disputes, and more. Due to the [[Fighting Alloy Team]] as a whole being largely inferior versions of their base characters, especially in the case of Red Alloy, there is also little interest in changing that status quo. Ergo, the entire Fighting Alloy Team group has not seen much competitive experimentation, with no documented tournament matches. Should they ever be made legal, however, their influence on the metagame would likely be minimal. | ||
