While the counterattack itself is flexible, the counter itself is rather limited due to its average counter frames, rather slow startup, and high ending lag. Additionally, Greninja is not [[intangible]] during the kick, hence the attack can get interrupted by quick attacks such as a jab infinite, or even backfire with Greninja hurling straight into an enemy's powerful move.

However, in ''Ultimate'', Substitute is more consistent as it slows down opponents and it now grants Greninja invincibility, making it more safe.
In ''Ultimate'', Substitute has received buffs and nerfs, but was buffed overall. An extreme problem with Substitute was its inconsistency due to a lack of intangibility and opponents often being able to dodge the attack, but was extremely powerful in return, even having a strong spike hitbox. Substitute is more consistent as it slows down opponents and it now grants Greninja invincibility while also having a larger counter window, making it more safe. However, it has higher end lag on whiff while all variants also have more lag, but lower KO power as well in return.
