Pikaman (also known as Longchu, Pikadorf, Manchu, Ganonchu and Freakachu, among other similar names) is a freakishly disproportionate Pikachu with long, slender limbs, making it seem humanoid in appearance.
Pikaman is the end result of swapping Pikachu and Ganondorf's movesets in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is the most well-known moveset swap, mainly because it was the first to be shown on the Internet, but also because it's the most distinguishable and unique of all the moveset swaps. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, though swapping Ganondorf's model with Pikachu's once again produces Pikaman, the end result features Pikachu stuck in its screen K.O. animation protruding from the front of Pikaman's body because Ganondorf has no such feature of his own.
In M.U.G.E.N, Pikaman has been created by Ria Corst. While elements of both Ganondorf and Pikachu are present in its attacks, it relies heavily on close-range, grapple-based attacks. Its sprites are entirely custom, though the facial expression never changes from Pikaman's blank smile, not even when hit or K.O.'d, which is a reference to Pikaman not changing facial expressions in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Ria Corst's Pikaman has been edited by ryun, altering its button layout and expanding its moveset significantly.
Ria Corst's version

This creepy-looking humanoid Pikachu is quite the powerhouse, having an array of different moves that can be used to start powerful juggle combos or simply dish out massive amounts of damage on their own, though the unconventional button layout takes a while to get used to. Kick it into Overdrive to make juggling the opponent a breeze and then finish them off with a mighty Warlock Punch, providing you've got a maxed-out powerbar.
