A '''moveset swap''' is a hack which causes a [[character]] to take on the animations and moveset of another character. This is doable in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', though both require the use of hacking devices in order to be accessed. | |||

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. | 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'' | 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'', 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. | If the character used has loose hair, a dress, or the like, it will remain stiff if the animations do not include it.

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 | 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.

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. | In addition to its infamy [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pikaman-longchu as a meme], Pikaman has attained a large fanbase amongst the community.
