PSI Magnet

Lucas catching Charizard's Flamethrower attack.

PSI Magnet (Japanese: サイマグネット, Saimagunneto) is a special attack that is performed by Ness and Lucas. It is done by pressing Down and B, and it absorbs certain projectile attacks (mostly energy type). Upon absorption, the attack replenishes Ness's health equal to double to the damage that attack would deal. Ness cannot be healed to a percent lower than zero, though. Interestingly, while Ness's PSI Magnet is formed centered around his body, Lucas' is formed centered around the finger of his outstretched hand, and thus the magnet doesn't fully cover the area behind him. Whether this means that Lucas will be vulnerable to attacks from behind has yet to be seen. It should be noted that a similar attack in Melee, Mr. Game & Watch's Oil Panic, allows the player to turn around while holding the absorber in place.

Also, the attack can be put to incredible use on the Corneria stage in Melee. Simna ibn Sind was the first to use the technique of using the PSI Magnet to absorb the lasers of the ship, restoring most of the player's health.
