The exact results of moveset swapping can vary; while some characters can impersonate others with relatively little trouble (most commonly [[clone]]s or semi-clones, such as [[Fox]] and [[Falco]]), a majority of combinations are extremely unstable, often crashing the game whenever an attack is inputted, or even by merely attempting to load the character.

In ''Melee'', move-swapped characters retain their body proportions and simply rotate their bones to match the new animations; for example, {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s legs would pass through platforms if he was given the moveset of someone like {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}. However, in ''Brawl'' and after, characters change body shape to match their new animations, leading to unique distortions; for example, a character with short legs such as {{SSBB|Mario}} would have his limbs stretched if given the moveset of a tall character such as {{SSBB|Snake}}.

If the character used has loose hair, a dress, or the like, it will remain stiff if the animations do not include it. This extends to all parts of a character; for example, Mario's ring fingers will remain "closed" when using {{SSBB|Yoshi}}'s three-fingered animations.
