[[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|Captain Falcon]] (and by association, his [[clone]] [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf]]) and [[Zelda (SSBM)|Zelda]], whose standard attacks they borrow.

Wire Frames are unable to use [[special move]]s, and thus are limited in their recoveries.  To compensate their lack of recoveries, Wire Frames are fought in a lower-gravity setting. Wire Frames are also unable to charge smashes and some of their moves are much weaker versions of Captain Falcon's and Zelda's attacks. Two obvious examples are Captain Falcon's [[Knee Smash]], which does not have the power or electricity in the Wire Frame version, and Zelda's [[Lightning Kick]], which also lacks electricity. Oddly enough, the Male Wire Frame throws more like Ganondorf, and thus, is very good at "[[chainthrow]]ing".
Generally, they are weak and light fighters, and are very easy to KO; as to compensate their lack of recoveries, Wire Frames have high jumping prowess; in the [[Adventure Mode]], they are also fought in a low gravity area.

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 "genders" 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.  


Wire Frames appear in all modes of [[Multi-Man Melee]], in [[Battlefield (SSBM)|Battlefield]] during Adventure mode, and in [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon]].  Generally, they are weak and light fighters.  Male Wire Frames are slightly more aggressive than Female Wire Frames; males always home towards the player's character, whereas the females throw attacks more or less randomly.  All Wire Frames have a weakness to fiery attacks.
All Wire Frames have a weakness to fiery attacks; this explains why attacks such as[[Roy (SSBM)|Roy's]] [[Blazer]] attack is so effective on them.


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|April Fool's Joke.]]


An infamous April Fool's Joke from Electronic Gaming Monthly claimed that [[List of rumors#Sonic and Tails|Sonic and Tails were fully unlockable in the game]], as long as the player could KO 20 Wire Frames in Cruel Melee.

Wire Frames are considered to be successors to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] and the predessors of the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], although they have a far larger role than them.
