'''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.


'''Absorption''' is the process of using a particular [[down special move]] to "capture" an "'''energy-based'''" [[projectile]] (or just a general [[hitbox]] in rare cases). It then provides a benefit to the character absorbing it based on the damage output of the absorbed 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]]'' added some [[explosive]]-type attacks that were not able to be absorbed in previous games, yet did not include all of them.
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.


Only four characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series have special moves that can absorb specific attacks, namely [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], [[Mii Gunner]] and [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. Ness and Lucas' absorbing special move is the [[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 the likes of [[Villager]]'s [[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 [[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 ''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).


As of version [[List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.3 changelog|1.1.3]] in ''Smash 4'', absorbed attack power from fellow teammates during [[Team Battle]]s with [[Friendly Fire]] turned on is halved.

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.

An example are certain bomb attacks in ''Smash 4''; the explosion is indeed what is absorbable, but it is the only hitbox of the move and hence is not listed as "Explosion".

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Every ''Super Smash Bros.'' game debuts one character with an absorption move: Ness in ''Super Smash Bros.'', Mr. Game & Watch in ''Melee'', Lucas in ''Brawl'', and Mii Gunner in ''SSB4''.
*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.

Ness absorbing Charizard's Flamethrower in Brawl.
Mr. Game & Watch absorbing Bowser's Fire Breath and counter-attacking in Brawl.
"Energy-based attack" redirects here. For the attack type, see Energy.
For the technique referred to as "absorbing damage" by the Twinkle Toes 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 moves, 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 types or effects. 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, Floows are also capable of absorbing attacks, though they do not appear to do anything with the absorbed energy. In Smash Run in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, 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 battles 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[edit]

By fighters[edit]

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[edit]

  • 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 Super Smash Bros. series, with a total of 10.
