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

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.
