Absorbing Vortex (アブソーバー, Absorber) is one of three down special moves for the Mii Gunner.

Overview

When used, the Gunner can absorb energy-based projectiles, similarly to PSI Magnet. Using this move after a jump pushes the Mii Gunner upward slightly, increasing recovery distance.

Much like Lucas and Ness' PSI Magnet, upon absorbing a projectile, tapping the control stick or control pad (depending on controller) in a direction will cause the Mii Gunner to roll in that direction, sidestep, or jump without having to release the attack first.

The move received several buffs in the transition to Ultimate. Its healing multiplier has been increased while its endlag has been decreased, and it now produces a weak hitbox upon startup, thus making it safer to use.

Instructional quote

  Move List   Creates a barrier that pulls in enemy projectiles and weak explosions to heal damage.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:

1. Echo Reflector 2. Bomb Drop 3. Absorbing Vortex
 
"Reflects enemy projectiles, sending them back even stronger than they were before." "A thrown bomb that rolls a short distance on the ground." "Sucks in enemy projectiles, forming a barrier that also heals your damage."
