Absorption is SpongeBob's down special.

Overview[edit | edit source]

SpongeBob absorbs a hit, cutting back damage dealt to him while dealing 0.8x back, making it a weak counter but allows SpongeBob to take less damage. Opponents who attack obtain increased endlag for said move, allowing SpongeBob to perform a counterattack.

Repeated use of Absorption within a minute weakens the amount of damage absorbed and the endlag added. Using other moves will allow the timer to reset.
