Abyss Impact (アビスインパクト) is a counter rush attack used by Super Android 13.
Overview
After being unaffected by the opponent's punches, Super Android 13 grabs the opponent by their arms and slams them into the ground. Then, he puts his hand over the stunned opponent and blasts them with a red energy blast, point-blank, inflicting a great amount of damage.
Android 13 withstands Vegeta's assault at the start of the Abyss Impact
Android 13 uses this attack to defeat Vegeta in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! When Android 13 transforms into his Super form, Vegeta transforms into his Super Saiyan form and attempts to attack the Android. However, Vegeta's assault of punches are completely ineffective and Android 13 attacks Vegeta with the Abyss Impact (the S.S. Deadly Hammer rush's grab and energy blast), smashing the Saiyan Prince into the ground and blasting him towards Krillin.
Depending on the different FUNimation dub versions, Android 13's words to Vegeta are different when performing the technique: Android 13 sadistically says "Going down, anyone?" in the edited version, while he says "This is for 15's death!" in the uncut version.

Super Android 13 uses Abyss Impact in Raging Blast 2
Abyss Impact was named in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 as one of Super Android 13's Super Attacks, a counter. Just like in the movie, while Abyss Impact is activated, no matter which opponent this attack is used against, their punches prove ineffective when attacking Super Android 13.
