Countering is one of the general fighting moves obtainable via releveler on the player's phone. It can be gotten as early as when the player first level's up.
Description[]
Countering can be done by blocking an enemy's attack just when it's about to hit you. When done successfully, the game will slow down as it prompts you to either press X or Y to unleash the character's Initial Anar-Chi and secondary Anar-chi respectively. Initial and secondary Anar-chi are already set by the game.
This can be a very useful move when mastered. Anar-chi used in countering requires almost no cooldown and can be used again. And it's also a way to input a 'fifth' or even 'sixth' anar-chi move since initial and secondary Anar-chi are already set in stone; you can have four different anar-chi moves already set + the two counter anar-chi initial and secondary.
Counters can be used against normal attacks, bullets, thrown objects, other counters, explosions, and other players' Anar-Chi. However, they cannot be used against grabs.
