Blade Counter
|
Blade Counter (カウンター, Counter) is one of three down special moves for the Mii Swordfighter. ContentsOverview[edit]True to its name, it is a counterattack. The Mii Swordfighter will lean back and hold its sword in reverse grip upon activating, and if hit with an attack while in this pose, retaliate with a slash of the weapon. The move does 1.25x the damage of the attack that hits the Swordfighter, with a minimum of 8% damage. When the move is initiated, a jagged red line appears upon countering an attack, resembling the one that appears during Little Mac's Slip Counter. In Ultimate, the counterattack has been altered: the retaliating slash is now an upwards lifting slash that sends opponents vertically. This gives it consistent KO potential regardless of the Swordfighter's positioning, and allows the Swordfighter to land follow-up attacks after countering weak hits. However, this makes the move significantly worse for KOing opponents near the side blast lines. Uniquely, the Swordfighter is shown "parrying" during Blade Counter with a twirl of their sword, which triggers an "off-balance" animation for the opponent (actually their grab release animation) and cancels their attack animation before the counterattack hits.
