| 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]]''. Results vary; some characters can impersonate others with no trouble (most commonly [[clone]]s or semi-clones such as [[Fox]] and [[Falco]]), while some combinations are unstable, freezing the game when some moves are used (or even as soon as the match has begun).

|
| 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.
| |
| | |
| When a moveswap is used, most standard moves retain their characteristics from their original character. For example, Yoshi can use {{SSBB|Luigi}}'s [[forward smash]] without difficulty. However, more complicated moves may result in a "hybrid" move, such as using a [[stall-then-fall]] when the original character does not have one. Special moves in particular have unpredictable effects, ranging from a surprisingly glitchless combination to a character-freezing situation (such as Mario, using [[Skull Bash]], flying sideways at a constant speed until he gets past a [[blast line]]).
| |
| | |
| As [[hitbox]]es are attached to bones based on their ID number, and characters have different numbers of bones, moveset swaps may result in hitboxes being placed in unexpected locations.

| ==Notable examples==
| |
| These moveset swaps have gained a sort of popularity or recognition. When the code for swapping movesets first made its debut, several examples were compiled together in a few YouTube videos, sparking the phenomenon. The moveset swaps featured in the videos have since become the most famous.

| ===Pikaman (Pikachu as Ganondorf)===

| |
| '''Pikaman''', also known as "Pikadorf", "Ganonchu", "Longchu", "Freakachu", or "Manchu" (due to the human-like proportions), is a moveset swap in which {{SSBB|Pikachu}} is the character model and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s moveset is used. This is perhaps the most famous moveset swap, with [[File replacement]] being used to make a moveset for the model.

| ===Manly-Man (Snake as Captain Falcon)===
| |

| |
| '''Manly-Man''''s moves cannot be used as it crashes the game. The name is derived from the popular meme that both {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBB|Snake}} are incredibly manly, so a hybrid would result in a manlier man.

| ===Mariolimar (Mario as Olimar)===

| [[File:Mini-Mario.JPG|thumb|right|Mariolimar]]
| |
| '''Mariolimar''', also known as "Mini-Mario" and "Olimario", is a moveset swap in which {{SSBB|Mario}} is the character model and the moveset is {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s. He looks squashed, and has a humorous miniature appearance.

| ===Roadkill (Sonic as Fox)===
| |
| [[File:Roadkill.JPG|thumb|right|Roadkill]]
| |
| '''Roadkill''' is the name of the moveset swap in which {{SSBB|Sonic}} is the character model and {{SSBB|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 similar to "roadkill". For unknown reasons, when Roadkill uses his up special move, it creates a golden [[Arwing]] in place of Sonic's [[Spring Jump]]. Note that other move swaps with Sonic can give him the appearence of having his eyes closed.

| ===Wolvereach (Peach as Sonic)===
| |
| [[File:Wolvereach2.JPG|thumb|right|Wolvereach]]
| |
| '''Wolvereach''', also known as "Screach/Screech" or "Nightmare Peach" is the moveset swap in which {{SSBB|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".

| ===Other famous moveset swaps===
| |
| As well as the given examples, several other moveset swaps have been seen. For example, one is of {{SSBB|Toon Link}} given {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s moveset, in which he loses most of his lower waist and down and [[walk]]s 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. {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} was given {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s, causing his arms to disappear and part of his feet to bulge. Giving Snake Donkey Kong's moves makes Snake's body look stretched. Also, if one were to give Peach [[Kirby]]'s moves, her mouth is frozen in a stretched position, not unlike the above-mentioned "Wolvereach".
