While not as widespread as the [[Wombo Combo]], videos demonstrating moveset swaps became a minor internet phenomenon in the years following ''Brawl''{{'}}s release, particularly due to the heavy interest the game attained. The popularity of the videos can be attributed to the unusual, distorted appearances of most of the characters, due to the limbs and bodies of characters being contorted as to fit the models of other characters. Amongst players of the games, the unusual effects of the various attacks can also be of various interest.

Of all the moveset swaps featured on video sharing sites like [[YouTube]], the application of {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s moves to {{SSBB|Pikachu}} quickly became the most popular. '''Pikaman''' (sometimes referred to '''Pikadorf''', '''Freakachu''', '''Longchu''', and other such nicknames) attained this popularity primarily because of the distortion of the famous character of [[Pikachu]]; in addition to standing on two legs, the long, gaunt appearance of its limbs stand in stark contrast to its large body and ordinarily stubby limbs. Pikaman's origins can be traced back to a post by a now-unknown user on {{b|Brawl Central|website}}'s forums, dating back to around 2008.

In addition to its infamy [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pikaman-longchu as a meme], Pikaman has attained a large fanbase amongst the community. In addition to in-jokes about Pikaman's supposedly powerful fighting prowess, videos have also been made [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb9aHW501K0&index=5&list=PLIHpRvXPklmiT1n320YKGAVnRvvK_3Cga featuring the character in actual brawls], and [[file replacement]] hacks have also been created as to allow the character to be playable without the need for setting up a moveset hack.
