Someone about that counter seems a little odd....

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Did anyone else notice in the trailer that when he activated his counter against Samus, he still took the attack and suffered knockback, but then followed up with the actual attack? What do you think this means the counter will be like?

 

[Spinosaurus]

You mean like this?

CROSS COUNTER

I suppose Spinosaurus summarized it much better than I could have...

I am sure it will still function like a counter, it is just different to promote diversity.

That does make sense, I suppose.
Also, the actual punch looks REALLY awkward. It's like an uppercut while leaning back. It just looks funny.

It does look strange, now that you mention it.

With as much of this amine that I keep seeing referenced in the past couple of days, I may need to start watching it. It looks pretty cool~

I think its visually trying to emulate the "Dodge > Uppercut" thing from the Punch Out games. Maybe Mac takes damage as a form of balance.

Looked more like a dodge and then a punch to me.

Hajime No Ippo is amazing.

Looked more like a dodge and then a punch to me.

What? No seriously what do you mean?

Little Mac's counter looked more like he dodged the attack and then struck back. At least, it did to me.

Ok. It sounded like you said that he didn't retaliate with the counter. And that somehow hurt Samus. lol

Yeah it did look like that to me also at one point.

I can't really tell...
It looks like he's reeling back, and the going into the awkward upper.
