Quote:That's the trick of it. You don't know. A counter attack works when you correctly predict that an attack was coming and submit a counter of sorts. I'm pretty sure almost nobody uses them nowadays but it definitely can be fun when people do. Your counter can be more effective and brutal the more accurate you are in predicting the variables of who/when/where... but you should also be able to use a more vague counter to just kind of escape an attack if you weren't able to predict the specifics. At least this is how I remember it working. For example if you KNOW I'm going to attack you during your match, you can probably counter me pretty good and leave me laying. If, however, you just think you might get attacked at some point by some random person and all you want to do is have a strategy of trying to escape, there's a chance it would work even though it's vague, since you aren't dealing damage back to them. There's also a chance you could start getting attacked by them but make your escape (vague counter) before they finished whatever their attack segment was. If you're thinking "well I might have to send one in every week then"... yup, you're right. You'd have to. Countering something is a big deal, and you'd definitely need to submit them regularly to have them just happen to be in place when a surprise attack comes your way.

Can staff let me know if this still works this way for counters?
