Knockback

Knockback is what happens when a characters is pushed by something, be it an explosion, an earthquake, or a damaging move. Knockback is usually accompanied by damage, and different moves have different knockbacks. For example, a simple punch recieves damage and a very small knockback. Meanwhile, Squidward's clarinet will give a noticeable knockback. Knockbacks can lead to characters falling into pits or offscreen sometimes.
