Squirt (move)

Squirt is one of Sushie's default attacks in the game Paper Mario. For three FP, she will shoot a water jet at one enemy dealing some damage. The action command involves holding the button in order to fill a gauge, and the damage will be equivalent to however far the gauge is filled. However, if the player maxes out the gauge, it will lock player input and the amount the gauge is filled will start going down - effectively doing less damage. As such, the player must hold and release accordingly to keep the gauge as full as possible without letting it reach the end. This move is imbued with the water element, so some enemies will take more or less damage from the attack depending on their weakness or resistance to water.
