Counter

[Cucurbita]

I'm having a bit of difficulty timing counter.

Anyone want to explain the mechanics and how to time it well?

Well, how I do it is:
After a perfect guard, release the guard immediately and then spam the smash button.

To counter, you don't have to time it exactly with a Perfect Guard.

That said, you have to smash during the Guarding animation.

What you are most likely doing wrong is a common mistake:
You have to release guard key (i.e Spacebar) before pressing Smash key (i.e right click)

Also, it doesn't HAVE to be a perfect guard. You can counter off a normal guard.
I tend to spam the smash key after letting go of guard like most people already said.

Release guard key (i.e Spacebar) before pressing Smash key (i.e right click)

You are saying that is the mistake, and you shouldn't release?

Or you should release and follow with a smash, as you stated?

You have to release.
