The “Swap grounded side and neutral attack” swaps the grounded side and neutral attack.
For example, Bugs Bunny’s grounded neutral attack is the hammer ability.
On the other hand, his grounded side neutral attack is rapid punches.
If you enable “Swap grounded side and neutral attack”, Bugs Bunny’s grounded neutral attack will become rapid punches and his grounded side neutral attack will become the hammer ability.
In a nutshell, both abilities are swapped.
You can try enabling “Swap grounded side and neutral attack” or “Swap air side and neutral attack” to see if they fit your playstyle.
