Hope that helps. If you noticed any errors please tell me so.

Thanks for making that guide that really helped me out and maybe other members as well. :Pleased:

tytyty so much ^_^

Thanks mega rock.exe thats wonderful!

When my friend used a cross in a battle, when he did his charge, I countered with moonblade, and I actually countered. Watch this vid:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_OM5AxW6mo . It happens around the 2:00 mark. My folder sucked at that time. I made it now an S-coded folder. Who would have thought that you can use chips when stunned? Our games WEREN'T hacked.

You can still Time Freeze Counter while paralyzed. Although countering Megaman is kind of easy.

yea countering megaman is easy you can counter every chip.. :Cry:

Thanks mega rock.exe thats wonderful!

HEY! DON´T STEAL MY WORDS!!!

Reflector work wonders vs F and GBeasts when there about to Slash.

Is it possible to counter the enemy with the cheat that you won´t have Time Freeze? e.g. Proto hits an enemy which is going to attack will you get a counter hit?

PS: 8000 Zennys ^^

The heady viruses can be countered the instant they start to move, but only if the aura is gone.

Have you actually scored a counter hit on them? Cause I haven't. I've used Vulcan on that, and that is a sure shot counter.

I'll go test it with airshot. It has the fastest reflex, and I can tell when it happens.

Vulcan shoots like 3 times a second but there are 20 frames per second.

I am a countering master. My Vulcans are instant Full Sync. I would have noticed it if it were true.

Yeah, but the counter window is that 20 frames. The airshot will hit. I'm conifdent in my reflexes.

I decided to show you up, and use supervulcan after 2 areagrabs, standing on the back panel, against a 500 HP heady virus...and you were right.

1: Don´t Double Postbuster858.
2. mr.exe, ou should close this topic. It is really usefull so it needs to see it. Replaying isn´t really nesecerry.

Why would he close it? Better forms ofountering enemies should also be listed. Maybe a recommended chip.

I should mention times.

Vulcan/AirShot is the fastest shot type attack. You can safely fire these when the enemy hits their counter point.

Cannon is a tad slower, so you will have to fire a little before the counter point begins.

Mini Bomb is the slowest type of attack. You'd best not try countering with these. But on some enemies, it is possible...

No,reflect is the fastest among all chips but it depends on how close you are between the enemy and yourself

While thats true, many enemies can pass through it. I also just found out that a well timed copydamage can counter.

True, though it'd be best used against ProtoMan. ;)

Or... You could just hack a chip to counter the enemy when it attacks... That works too.

Thanks for that! really! but I have no reflex to do them. Is there a way to make them easier?

You could counter and and go to full syncro so they turn blue when its time to counter.

Full Syncro here we come!

*sigh* What AM I going to do with you? At the very least, you'll be notified for spamming. Seriously, DarkHub, KNOCK IT OFF!

thats a good thing countering always comes in handy for god finishers

thanks for the guide,mega.rock.exe
now i can counter my enemy easily

I think honeybomber can be countered..tell me if I'm wrong but the enemy virus countered my honeybomber in the virus battler...

I check with Full Syncro and it isn't so. Unless you can make it happen again.

What's going on here?
Every virus and navi and be countered, some harder then others.

Some clearly can't. Like, if it never attacks.
I should know. Back when I wrote this, I knew everything.
