(since we see ViIllager grab missiles, I say this is busted)

The only two moves capable of absorption are [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Oil Panic]] - PSI Magnet heals the user based on the absorbed attack's power, while Oil Panic stores the strength of up to three projectiles in order to unleash them all at once in a single attack. [[Floow]]s are also capable of absorbing attacks, though they do not appear to do anything with the absorbed energy. This means that there are only three playable characters who are able to absorb non-physical attacks; that being [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], and [[Mr. Game & Watch]].

In addition to the above, it appears that the {{SSB4|Villager}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' will be able to grab projectiles and items, store them, and throw them later. It is currently unclear whether this is a proper absorption or a delayed reflection in terms of the types of attacks it can operate on.

Ness absorbing Charizard's Flamethrower in Brawl.
Mr. Game & Watch absorbing Bowser's Fire Breath in Brawl.
For the technique referred to as "absorbing damage" by the Twinkle Toes bonus in Super Smash Bros. Melee, see tech.

Absorption is the process of using a particular special move to "catch" an opposing non-physical projectile, or a teammate's projectile if Team Attack is turned on. The absorber then provides some benefit to the user based on the absorbed attack.

The only two moves capable of absorption are PSI Magnet and Oil Panic - PSI Magnet heals the user based on the absorbed attack's power, while Oil Panic stores the strength of up to three projectiles in order to unleash them all at once in a single attack. Floows are also capable of absorbing attacks, though they do not appear to do anything with the absorbed energy. This means that there are only three playable characters who are able to absorb non-physical attacks; that being Ness, Lucas, and Mr. Game & Watch.
