(Previous numbers were accurate. I'm assuming the SSB4 team multiplier is 0.5 like the rest of the page says, but I don't have enough controllers to properly verify (staleness is getting in the way I think)) |

In ''[[Melee]]'', it is now blue instead of green. The move comes out 5 frames faster, but retains the same 30 frames of minimum absorption time and an additional 10 frames of ending lag before it can be dropped, making it a less than viable option. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[Brawl]],'' the color changes again, from blue to a more purplish color. This move recovers about 1.6x (or one and two thirds) the damage the projectile would have dealt normally, and is the fastest of Ness' PSI Magnets. In ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', Ness's Magnet [[push]]es enemies and some items (such as [[Snake]]'s [[Hand Grenade]]s) away from his body when released. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[ | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move returns to its ''Melee''-like blue coloring and is larger in size. In addition, due to certain explosions now being absorbable, it can absorb some previously troublesome items such as [[Bob-omb]]s (outside [[Sudden Death]]) and attached [[Gooey Bomb]]s. As in ''Brawl'', it heals 1.6x, but has a cap of 30% healed damage. Its end lag has been reduced in later patches of the game. | ||
In ''[[Ultimate]]'', the Magnet now features PSI graphics based on how PSI Magnet appeared in ''EarthBound''. It now also slightly damages adjacent foes upon activation, allowing it to confirm into any of Ness' aerials. Ness can use his double jump before the magnet in order to boost forward, being useful as a mixup or burst movement option. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Lucas's PSI Magnet is centered around his outstretched hand: while it does not visibly cover his whole body nor the area behind him, Lucas will instantly turn around when hit from the back. Lucas's version of this attack also has a hitbox on his hand when released, which deals 9% damage and is a moderately strong [[semi-spike]]. Though it has little use due to the delayed nature of it and its extremely small hitbox making it very difficult to land, tactical use of it can [[bait]] opponents and its horizontal knockback can prove effective in certain circumstances. Additionally, Lucas recovers more percentage than Ness when he absorbs a projectile (2.5x the damage the projectile would have dealt normally, a 56% improvement over Ness's). Its startup and ending lag are much lower than Ness's version. | Lucas's PSI Magnet is centered around his outstretched hand: while it does not visibly cover his whole body nor the area behind him, Lucas will instantly turn around when hit from the back.

In ''SSB4'', Lucas's PSI Magnet once again heals 2.5x but was nerfed to heal less from teammate's attacks, but with a cap of 30% healed damage. It also has a larger hitbox, but it only deals damage if the opponent is in the center of the magnet. It also deals slightly less damage than it did in ''Brawl''. In addition, Lucas no longer turns around when hit from behind, decreasing the move's range and overall practicality. | In ''SSB4'', Lucas's PSI Magnet once again heals 2.5x damage but was nerfed to heal less from teammate's attacks, but with a cap of 30% healed damage.

In ''Ultimate'', the move is largely unchanged like Ness' version of it, though it now features ''EarthBound'' like PSI graphics. It now heals 2x damage (ignores [[1v1 multiplier]]) but 1x in from teammates. The attack no longer halts Lucas's momentum when used airborne, much like how it worked in ''Brawl''. Its endlag has also been reduced making it safer to use. | In ''Ultimate'', the move is largely unchanged like Ness' version of it, though it now features ''EarthBound'' like PSI graphics.

==Magnet Pull== | |||
'''Magnet Pull''' is an [[advanced technique]] exclusive to {{SSBB|Lucas}} in ''Brawl'' first publicly discovered by Kink-Link5. The technique involves becoming airborne, performing either a [[wavebounce]] or a [[waveland]] with [[PK Fire]], then immediately performing PSI Magnet. If done correctly, Lucas will launch forward a great distance, effectively being a longer waveland. Magnet Pull can be useful to approach a far away opponent or allow Lucas to recover from very far off the stage.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HJ0fRq3G_o Magnet Pull tutorial]</ref> Engine-wide physics changes to ''Smash 4'' rendered this technique impossible, and it has yet to return to the series. | |||
===Reverse Magnet Pull=== | |||
Setting up a waveland with PK Fire, then immediately [[tapping]] the [[control stick]] opposite to Lucas' facing direction while activating PSI Magnet will have Lucas launch in that direction instead. This variant is more difficult to perform, requiring more precise actions, but is useful for running away and zoning, while also increasing the KO potential of PSI Magnet by it incidentally becoming a combo starter. | |||
