What the heck IS that?

[Giga Pichu]

in the co-op events update, what is that thing that looks like a snake behind samus in the 5th event in the 2nd picture?

It's Dark Link.

 

[Giga Pichu]

it doesnt even LOOK like him, though.

I can't tell myself. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions and saying Link, but it doesn't look like Link to me with closer inspection. The character has some kind of headband, so I'd say it's Ike, Snake, or some character we don't know about yet.

 

[Giga Pichu]

it looks almost like Arbok. ARBOK FOR BRAWL!!!! (just kidding)

It's not a snake, but I'm pretty sure it's the Snake.

To me it looks like Link with his sword raised in the air like he's posing or something. I don't really see Snake....(I think Link's sword kinda looks like a bandana which might be confusing people). However I've been wrong before so who knows XD

Its Link its kinda easy to tell that its link... doesnt look like snake at all.

Uhhhh, yeah. I was definitely looking at event 6. And upon a second glance, that's definitely Zelda anyway. My bad, yo.

The black figure in event 5 could be Link. He's the one who seems to fit best, but I don't think it's CLEARLY him. He's just the most plausible.
