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. This is mostly done for amusement, as almost all of the hybrids are glitched in some way.
Examples
Pikaman
Pikaman, also known as "Pikadorf", "Ganonchu", "Longchu", "Freakachu", 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's moves cannot be used as it crashes the game. The name is derived from the fact that both Captain Falcon and Snake are incredibly 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. He is sometimes referred as Mini-Mario due to his squashed, tiny appearance.
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 Move it creates an golden Arwing for the trampoline.
Wolvereach
Wolvereach, a.k.a. "Screach/Screech" or "Nightmare Peach" 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-reach. The reason why this name was given to this hybrid is because of the long "claws" Peach gains from it
Other Moveset Swaps
As well as the given examples, several other moveset swaps have been seen. For example, one is of Toon Link given Metaknight's moveset, in which he loses most of his lower waist and down and walks around on two feet loosely connected to his upper waist. In another swap, Mario is given Luigi's moveset, making his nose smaller and face shriveled up. Mr.Game and Watch was given R.O.B.'s moveset making him look like a robot.
