:''For the technique referred to as "absorbing damage" by the Twinkle Toes [[bonus points|bonus]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], see [[tech]].''

'''Absorption''' is a property of certain moves that allows them to capture a certain kind of [[projectile]] (or just a general [[hitbox]] in rare cases), usually described as "energy-based". It then provides a benefit to the character absorbing it based on the damage output of the absorbed attack. The absorption property only applies to [[down special move]]s, though it can theoretically apply to any attack. What constitutes an absorbable attack other than being labeled as energy-based is not consistent throughout the ''Smash'' series, and has no relation with move [[type]]s or [[effect]]s. ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' allowed some, but not all [[explosive]] attacks to be absorbable when they were not in previous games.

Only four characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series have moves that can absorb attacks, namely [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], [[Mii Gunner]], and [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. Ness and Lucas' absorbing special move is [[PSI Magnet]], Mr. Game & Watch's is [[Oil Panic]], and the Mii Gunner's is [[Absorbing Vortex]]. PSI Magnet and Absorbing Vortex heal the user based on the absorbed attack's power, while Oil Panic stores the strength of up to three projectiles for unleashing a single attack later. Absorption is not to be confused with [[Villager]] and [[Isabelle]]'s [[neutral special]], [[Pocket]], or any other form of collecting items.

In [[The Subspace Emissary]] in  ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', [[Floow]]s are also capable of absorbing attacks, though they do not appear to do anything with the absorbed energy. In [[Smash Run]] in {{for3ds}}, [[Chandelure]] appears to be capable of absorbing [[flame]] and [[darkness]] attacks to power up its own attacks, but absorbs all attacks with these effects, including non-projectile attacks.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' from version [[1.1.3]] onward, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', absorbed attacks from allies in [[team battle]]s with [[team attack]] turned on have their damage reduced by half. For example, Ness' PSI Magnet, which increases the damage of absorbed projectiles by 1.6× in both games, decreases it instead by 0.8× for teammates' projectiles. This hinders the effectiveness of moves with absorption properties in [[doubles]], as they were initially quite potent in earlier games/versions when combined with strong projectiles (such as [[Samus]]' fully charged [[Charge Shot]], which could bring Oil Panic's attack close to [[one-hit KO]] potential).

==List of absorbable attacks==
===By fighters===
For playable characters, if an attack has only one hitbox, the Part of the Move section is defined as the "Entire move" for this list. For example, in ''Smash 4'', for certain bomb attacks the explosion is the only hitbox, so if the explosion is absorbable it is listed as "Entire move" for this list. If a move has multiple parts that are all able to be absorbed, it is noted as the entire move.

==Trivia==
*Every ''Super Smash Bros.'' game prior to ''Ultimate'' introduces one character with an absorption move: Ness in ''Super Smash Bros.'', Mr. Game & Watch in ''Melee'', Lucas in ''Brawl'', and Mii Gunner in ''Smash 4''.
*If the [[Shadow]] [[Assist Trophy]] freezes a character performing an attack with an absorbing hitbox, said hitbox will remain active until being unfrozen and trigger if hit. This often creates an unintended side effect of the attack being able to absorb much more attacks than typical and for far longer.
*[[Hero]] has the most absorbable attacks out of any playable fighter in the entire {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, with a total of 10.
