I might be late into learning this, so if you've already heard this, just carry on.
So we all know Shulk's counter is long and slow. Unlike Marth, who's counter comes out quick and snappy, Shulk takes his time wounding up his Monado to deal the counter damage. But, as I just learned with a couple of friends, there is a way to speed up his counter attack. While performing the counter, hold the control stick/circle pad forward, or towards the person you want to counter. This will make Shulk do a dash attack into your opponent instead of jumping back and then striking. Not only does it do the same damage, but it greatly reduces your landing lag, freeing up time to perform combos out of counter.
Since I have no good recording footage, I cannot show you an example. But try it out on your own! Hopefully this improves your Shulk game.
Thanks!
