Moveset swap
A moveset swap is when the file system on the disc is modified to give character models different movesets from other characters. The results from this vary. Some characters become glitchy and unusable, while the physical characteristics almost always merge between the two characters. This has also been done in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Examples
Pikaman
Pikaman, also known as Longchu or Manchu (in reference to being manlike in appearance), is a moveset swap in which Pikachu is the character model and Ganondorf's moveset is used.

Manly-Man
Manly-Man is the hybrid in which Snake is the character model and Captain Falcon is the moveset. Actual moves cannot be used as it crashes the game. The name is derived from the internet meme of Captain Falcon and Snake being "manly," so a hybrid would result in a manlier man.
Mariolimar
Mariolimar, also known as Mini-Mario and Olimario, is a moveset swap in which Mario is the character model and the moveset is Olimar's.
Roadkill
Roadkill is the name of the moveset swap in which Sonic is the character model and Fox is the moveset. The name is derived from the fact that Sonic has his eyes closed the entire time and his arm in a fixed position, making it look like a dead rodent on the street. For unknown reasons when Roadkill uses his up+special it creates an arwing.

Wolvereach
Wolvereach is the moveset swap in which Peach is the character model and Sonic is the moveset. Wolvereach is the combination of the words "wolverine" and "Peach" and is pronounced wolver-each. The reason why this name was given to this hybrid is because of the long slender nails Peach gains from it.
