A '''counterattack''' is a type of [[special move]]. Debuting in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', a counterattack will, on use, put the user into a [[shield]]-like state followed by a sizable period of [[lag]]. Should any normally blockable attack hit the user during these guard frames, the attack will be blocked (without depleting the health of their shield) and the user will automatically retaliate with an attack of their own, presumably hitting whoever was attacking unless it was a [[projectile]], or some other attack that out-ranges the counter.

Some counterattacks do more damage when they activate against a stronger attack, with [[knockback]] scaling to match the damage, while some deal a fixed amount of damage. Counterattacks usually activate fast enough that it is impossible for a melee attacker to shield the retaliating hit, although the attack itself can usually be blocked; there are a few exceptions, such as Shulk's [[Vision]] in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', which is [[unblockable]]. Counterattacks also do not trigger if the fighter is invincible, even if the opponent hits them. The animation will simply play as if they were not hit at all.

|Little Mac does a fake-out, dodging the opponent's attack, and socks them with an uppercut while dashing forward. Said dash can make Slip Counter a useful though risky horizontal recovery option. In ''Ultimate'' as of patch 13.0.0, Slip Counter has one of the highest damage multipliers at 1.5x.
