The patient warrior who waits until their opponent commits to an attack will be rewarded with a good opportunity to smack the other guy, hard. This is the principle behind counter attacks in games and other types of fiction. Often, in exchange for the cost in tactical opportunities (and need for good timing), these attacks will be significantly more powerful than normal attacks, sometimes to the point of being a One-Hit Kill.
See also Action Commands and Cross Counter. Some counter attacks require the user to not care about surviving the attack being countered. However some attacks, like the Unblockable Attack, can't be countered, only evaded. May lead to Death or Glory Attack if used to (try and) stop a particularly strong move. May also result in Awesome, but Impractical if the timing is too strict. Characters built around this may become Difficult, but Awesome.
Fighting Games in general will always have some form of this trope. Attacking during a move's startup will cause a counter hit, dealing extra damage and potentially enabling some combos that otherwise wouldn't be possible, while attacking after someone misses a move (or when you block it, if it takes long enough to recover) is known as a "punish".
Compare Attack Reflector, which usually reflects the attack itself back at the enemy, rather than the attack being blocked before the defender launches their own while their guard is down.

In the fourth game, there is a Geo Effect called Forever Counter that raises the number of counter attacks so high that if two characters get into a counter war while affected by it, only one them is going to come out alive if they aren't both invincible.

Batman: Arkham Asylum: The combat system is based upon Attack and Counter-Attack, rather than the more traditional Fast and Strong attack buttons. Some of Batman's counters are wince worthy, like grabbing a thug's leg in mid kick, then giving them a kick of your own straight to the groin.

Littlewood: The in-game Card Battle Game has cards able to "reflect" damage, which means that damage that should have gone to the opponent goes back to the dealer. There are a few catches, however. One is that the reflecting card needs to be of the element that beats that of the attacking card in the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors system. The second is that the player needs to have accumulated enough arcana to play the card and those with reflective abilities require two rounds of weak or entirely skipped moves to be playable. The third is that the cards with reflective abilities are also among the bigger damage dealers and the reflected damage may be smaller than what the card would have dealt if used offensively.

Samurai Shodown: Yagyu Jubei as depicted in the games. Starting from the second game onward becomes especially dangerous with the Yagyu Shingan-to, a powerful Counter Attack maneuver where he parries and traps an opponent's weapon with his wakizashi, leaving the target open to an immediate strike from his katana.

Happens automatically for certain classes in Disgaea. Some classes can perform a counter-counter, and some can counter that, and so on. This can go on for minutes at a time.
In the second game, Fist weapons add on 2 extra counters and have a higher counter chance, and the Item World can add extra counters to a weapon. The Nekomata class dealt more damage when they countered. There are also Geo Blocks that give extra counters.
The third game ups the ante with the addition of multiple counterattack related abilities, the most potent of them being Lion Stance, which adds the damage taken from the countered hit to the counter. Coupling this with the Nekomata's ability to counter special attacks can result in some truly ridiculous amounts of damage (In a game where damage is already ridiculous by conventional standards).
In the fourth game, there is a Geo Effect called Forever Counter that raises the number of counter attacks so high that if two characters get into a counter war while affected by it, only one them is going to come out alive if they aren't both invincible.

The Rising of the Shield Hero: This is the only way Naofumi has to deal damage to his foes, justified because his weapon is a shield that prevents him from using any other weapon and his offensive stats are extremely low. It would take several minutes of striking starting level mooks if he wanted to kill by his own hand.

In Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, every class learns a unique counter skill, though not all of them are actual attacks. The Mercenary’s Counterattack is a basic weapon attack against an adjacent attacker, the Knight’s Thorns counter is less powerful but can hit the attacker from any range, the Wizard’s Magic counters enemy spells by casting a non-elemental spell of equal power back at them, and so on.

Kingdom Hearts II also has "Counterguard", which is more forgiving in its timing. It is also technically usable without the Guard ability (attacking at the right moment can yield the same effect), just much more unreliable/risky. Another move, "Retaliating Slash," allows Sora to strike back after a strong attack knocks him off balance.

This forms the basis of Ryunosuke Tsukue's fighting style in The Sword of Doom, most easily seen in his fight with Bunnojo. Both the cruel nature of the style and its reactionary nature are implied to be caused by or a cause of Ryunosuke's evil but listless personality.

Fire Emblem:
Much like the Jeanne d'Arc example above, the games have automatic counterattacks as long as the attacked unit has a weapon with the proper range. What's more, if the defending unit's speed is high enough, it will attack twice. If the attacking unit's speed is high enough, then it will counterattack after the defending unit does. Most of the damage you deal will probably be from counterattacks.
In addition, in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn your units can learn Counter skill, which has a chance to automatically hit an opponent for 50% of damage he inflicted.
In Awakening, it becomes much more powerful — now it reflects full damage and is guaranteed to activate, as long as the battlers are adjacent to each other.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Creating and exploiting openings in order to counterattack monsters form the basis of the game's combat system.
By parrying with Link's shield just as an enemy attacks, the player will briefly stun enemies and potentially knock their weapon out of their hands, leaving them wide open to a counterstrike.
By jumping backwards or sideways just as an enemy attacks, Link will briefly enter Bullet Time, dodge to blow, and dart in to quickly deal a maximum of two combo attacks against the enemy. This allows Link to deal a great deal of damage with no chance of the blow being countered, dodged, or blocked, but requires waiting for the enemy to strike first to activate.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: In addition to bringing back all previous fighters with this move, the game introduces new characters capable of performing this move:
King K.Rool uses his gold-plated gut as a counter similar to that of the Fire Emblem characters (including Chrom, who also debuts in this game and is an Echo Fighter to Roy).
Princess Daisy, being an Echo Fighter of Princess Peach, borrows her counter move (and once again it's used by simply pressing B, instead of holding Down beforehand).
Incineroar has a variation of a Counter called Revenge, where it still takes damaged (albeit reduced) but it powers up Incineroar's next attack.
DLC Character Joker has a variant of counter called Rebel's Guard where he takes reduced damage to fill up his Rebellion Gauge; when deactivated, Joker can deal minor damage to the opponent if he took a hit; and filling up the Rebellion Gauge allows him to summon Arsene, who will replace Rebel's Guard with Tetrakarn (a more traditional counter), and Makarakarn (a reflector).
Sephiroth's Scintilla creates a reflective barrier in front of him that blocks hits, but the attack comes out even if it doesn't block anything and deals more damage if it does.
Sora's Counterattack staggers opponents it counters and doesn't redirect projectiles.

The most common form of this in the Tales Series is the Pow Revenge skill, which provides a chance for the user to automatically toss a Pow Hammer at the assailant whenever they get hit.
Perhaps the best known villainous user of this in the series is Barbatos Goetia, whose fighting style in his first appearance revolves heavily around counterattacks that are performed in response to certain common actions, such as using magic, standing behind him, and running away from him. The one counterattack he retains in all of his appearances is performed in response to item usage, and is generally potent enough to discourage one from using items at all.
He also has a more mundane counterattack that's performed shortly after being struck in Tales of Destiny 2. Your characters can counter this counter with the Guard Strike ability, which in turn triggers another counter from him, which can result in silliness like this.
In addition to Pow Revenge, Tales of Vesperia has the Guardial Artes skill, which allows multiple characters to use artes immediately after guarding an attack. There's also Raven with his Counter Arrow skill, and Rita with her Counter Spell skill, both of which can be used whenever they stagger from a hit.

Darksiders:
The novel The Abomination Vault mentions one of the titular Grand Abominations is Mortis, a buckler built around this concept. Not only would the buckler completely negate an attack successfully blocked by it, it would then unleash a burst of "profane energies" that would seek out someone close to the attacker from their memories (be they friend, loved one, or even just comrade-in-arms) and kill them horribly. Fully awakened, this Counterattack could hit a target across a planet. In Darksiders II, Mortis "just" unleashes powerful blasts of energies when used successfully to block an attack or with a sufficient combo that home in on targets, though this can be explained in-lore by the fact by this point in canon Mortis is "almost dead" and only has a fraction of the power it once did.
In the first game, War blocks the attack at the last moment it will stop the damage and stagger the smaller opponents; if the player keeps holding the block button, War will unleash Devil's Cross which is a massive criss-cross slash that will damage enemies in a considerable radius.

Mabinogi:
The Counterattack skill, which takes an incoming melee attack and sends part of itnote The exact percentage of the attack that gets returned depends on the defender's Counterattack skill rank. right back, with the defender's attack added to it. Extremely useful against certain bosses.
And in the prequel, Vindictus, it is a key skill for Fiona, requiring a smash immediately after guarding against a non-smash attack to deliver a vicious attack against the enemy that attacked her (as well as everything else within range!). The skill eats shields for breakfast, though, meaning that a good Campfire skill (which regenerates the quality of your armor and shield after sitting at it) is essential for her.

One of the main gimmicks behind Guilty Gear's Baiken is the unique ability to cancel her blockstun with a number of special moves while using no meter. Should the opponent keep attempting to attack her too much, she can choose to counter by either teleporting behind the opponent, stabbing them in the middle of their attack, or leaping behind them and slashing their head.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance also has several variations: Counter, which works against all physical attacks whether they hit or not; Bonecrusher (commonly considered the most useful), which deals 50% more damage than Counter but requires that the attack hits and Strike Back which lets you evade and counter but only against basic attacks. There is also a version for spells too (called "return magic") which hits the enemy with the spell they just used on you, but only if you have the mana. And against enemies like the flans which are healed by the element they use, this can backfire badly.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, as with Heritage to the Future, has a number of counters.
Part 2 Joseph Joestar has a counter attack where he strikes a pose and, if struck, predicts his opponent's next line of dialogue, thus demoralizing and debuffing them. He has a line for every single member of the roster.
Josuke Higashikata has a similar counter move. If struck while posing in his attack, his opponent will make fun of his pompadour, hitting his Berserk Button and granting him a temporary attack buff.
Esidisi has a counter where being hit will result in him crying desperately for a few seconds... and then snap back to normal. This allows him to stay calm and relieve stress (increases his Heart Heat gauge) while simultaneously creeping out the opponent (decreasing their gauge).
Diavolo, in particular, bases his entire fighting style around countering the opponent; he goes so far as to have both of his Heat Moves built on this trope (his Heart Heat lets him automatically Stylish Evade any regular attack while it's running, and his Great Heat has him pose, retaliating to getting hit with an extremely powerful attack).

In addition to Pow Revenge, Tales of Vesperia has the Guardial Artes skill, which allows multiple characters to use artes immediately after guarding an attack. There's also Raven with his Counter Arrow skill, and Rita with her Counter Spell skill, both of which can be used whenever they stagger from a hit.

In Final Fantasy Legend II, using the "Counter" and "Revenge Sword" items ("Cross Counter" and "Grudge Sword" in Japanese) would allow the character using it to immediately attack any enemy that attacked him/her/it during the turn. Several monsters also have specialized counter abilities.

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale: Effectively every melee-focused combatant is given a counter, besides Kratos, Raiden and Dante mentioned above (in Dante's case, they use his parry maneuver from the reboot instead of the Royal Guard). Other examples include Nariko, Heihachi and strangely Sly Cooper (perhaps to make up for his lack of a block mechanic).

Assassin's Creed uses counterattacks to make up most of its fencing system. Altaïr only shoves away foes when countering a grapple, but countering foes' weapon strikes are instantly fatal. This is the best way to depopulate the city guards of the Holy Land given the kindness of the guardsmen in generously waiting their turns to attack you one at a time.

In Final Fantasy VII, certain materia, when equipped, enable counter-attacks. The Counter Attack materia does as it says: every time the character is struck with a physical attack, s/he has a 10%-50% chance (depending on the level of the materia) to hit the attacker right back with a physical attack. If the enemy's physical attack is part of a multi-hit combo, s/he can potentially counter each blow. Additionally, multiple Counter Attack materia can be equipped onto a single character, allowing him/her to counter every physical blow multiple times.There was also Counter materia you could link to another materia, so you'd counter with a specific spell or command. If used right, multiple pairs of Counter Command + Mime can have you counter attack with a Limit Break equal to how many pairs you have equipped! Even up to 8 OmniSlashes can be done in a single turn this way. Though the materias in question are one of a kind and you need a lot of Level Grinding to get multiple copies of them.
Possibly unique variant in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children; in the penultimate battle between Kadaj and Cloud, Kadaj (as the battle music goes into the middle eight) leaps at Cloud, and Cloud uses the Limit Break Finishing Touch to hit him in mid-leap, which sends Kadaj flying across the the battlefield, prompting Kadaj to have his "reunion"...

Final Fantasy XVI: Precision-dodging an attack allows Clive to follow up with a counterattack. Additionally, various eikonic abilities are counterattacks.
Phoenix: Heatwave by default sends out a flaming slash. If this slash hits an enemy's projectile, it blocks that projectile and Heatwave Counter is triggered, sending out even more slashes and reducing the ability's cooldown.
Garuda: Rook's Gambit has Clive jump back and then deliver an attack. If the jump makes him evade an enemy attack, then the follow-up attack is stronger and cooldown is reduced.
Titan: Titanic Block is a shield that blocks attacks. Precision-blocking an attack allows Clive to counterattack up to three times. There's also Raging Fists, a series of punches. If the first hit blocks an enemy attack, Raging Fists does more damage and has lower cooldown.

Some abilities in World of Warcraft work as counters, although most of them require the caster to block, dodge or parry the attack first. The Parry mechanic also works like this. It prevents the attack from hitting, and causes the person who parried make their next attack faster, in a clear representation of a parry-riposte.

Sentinels of the Multiverse:
A few characters have counter attacks that trigger when they get hit by a target. However, these are not optional: If a hero hits themselves and they have their counter in play, it triggers and they hit themselves again.
A few of the villains have these, too. The lower-rated villains, like Baron Blade, have them as cards that have to be drawn first, and which the heroes can destroy. The highest rated villains, like The Chairman, have them as ingrained abilities. The Chairman has two — when he flips, he counters for heavy damage the first time he's damaged a turn, and his Dragon, The Operative, hits the heroes every time one of the minions is destroyed.

Dragon Ball FighterZ has two characters with counter moves:
Android 18 can call her brother 17 for an assist attack, but one variation of the move has him instead stand there and act as a counter-assist: if the opponent calls an assist, 17 will nullify it and blast away the assisting character.
Hit has a counter ability in place of the projectiles that most of the cast has. Additionally, he has a second ability, "Tides of Time", which makes him completely invincible for an instant.

In Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue, delivering a finishing blow using a Battle Chip properly timed to be a counterattack sounded a chime and awarded Bugfrags (a second and much more valuable form of currency) if you went on to win the battle.

Vital in the Mario & Luigi series. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team also has clothes that automatically counter attacks afterwards (with a bolt of lightning hitting the enemy afterwards to deal out said damage). It's pretty useful on the later bosses, since their attacks do a ludicrous amount of damage anyway. And on Hard Mode, where attacks do about 7 times their usual damage to the hero (letting you get even on harder enemies without moving a muscle).

Touhou Suimusou ~ Immaterial and Missing Power gives a knockback boost which can lead to (stronger) wallslams and (stronger) groundslams, a lot of juggle points, and the inability to tech when a counter on anything stronger than a poke lands. This allows for some massive aerial combo strings if you're good enough. The sequel, on the other hand, had counters launch the opponent 50 feet in the appropriate direction.
In addition, Sakuya has an attack that automatically counters melee attacks, but leaves her vulnerable to projectiles, Iku has an attack that reflects projectiles, and Youmu has both.
In the main games, deathbombing/Final Spells can be seen as this.

Shepherd's Crossing: Many stronger prey animals in the hunts use these. If a foe "aims for a reverse," they'll counter any direct dog attacks. Defeating the particularly strong Rabbit & Kit hunt earns the player Bramble Run, a very strong counterattack... only usable by rabbits, which tragically limits its usefulness.

Metal Gear:
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots introduces this for the first time in the series, letting Snake return fire if he gets knocked onto his back. There's something very satisfying about reclining comfortably while blowing messy holes in the person that put you in that position to begin with.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has one happen if the player does a well timed parry, called a Parry Counter. This does as much damage as a combo and often makes battles faster while minimizing damage you take. On the hardest difficulty, Revengeance, its power is multiplied by 10, allowing them to hit both mooks and bosses for massive damage. Certain enemies however, will either evade the counter or attempt to counter it. You can counter said counter, leading to some potentially long counter wars.

DLC Character Joker has a variant of counter called Rebel's Guard where he takes reduced damage to fill up his Rebellion Gauge; when deactivated, Joker can deal minor damage to the opponent if he took a hit; and filling up the Rebellion Gauge allows him to summon Arsene, who will replace Rebel's Guard with Tetrakarn (a more traditional counter), and Makarakarn (a reflector).

The third game ups the ante with the addition of multiple counterattack related abilities, the most potent of them being Lion Stance, which adds the damage taken from the countered hit to the counter. Coupling this with the Nekomata's ability to counter special attacks can result in some truly ridiculous amounts of damage (In a game where damage is already ridiculous by conventional standards).

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and Devil May Cry 4: While the Royal Guard style does not need perfect timing to use normally, blocking or releasing at the moment the enemy attack hits completely nullifies the damage and, in the latter case, dramatically boosts the damage dealt. This is one of the ways of pulling off the really difficult No-Damage Run and killing the hardest-difficulty bosses much faster.

Epic Battle Fantasy series:
Epic Battle Fantasy 2 features two Skill Bonuses which enable counters - "Counter" gives Matt a 50% chance to counter physical attacks with his normal attacknote Another Skill Bonus, "Counter x2", increases the chance to 100%, whilst "Magic Counter" gives Natalie a 60% chance to counter magical attacks with Lucky Starnote Unlike later games, the counter will still drain MP.
Epic Battle Fantasy 3 makes this a universal feature, giving particular weapons the ability to counter when forged to a sufficiently high level.
Epic Battle Fantasy 4 nerfs counters somewhat, making players unable to counter if they have the Defend status effect.
Epic Battle Fantasy 5 introduces the Counter-Attacking Foes Challenge, which gives foes the ability to counter when enabled.

Exalted has a whole slew of combat charms that grant one or more lightning-fast counterattacks. The stronger ones often combine the simple counterattack with a particularly nasty bonus effect.
Ready in Eight Directions Stance is particularly ridiculous, since it allows you an automatic counterattack at every attack aimed at you for 4-6 seconds. When combined with a perfect defence, attacking a Solar with this Charm active is rather like sticking your hand in a wood chipper.
The Shard Burn Legend, a love letter to Street Fighter, Tekken and Mortal Kombat, has a number of Defensive Techniques that are non-events if the enemy doesn't attack. Of note is the Tennin technique Bridge of the Resilient Cat, which allows the user to counter bullets by striking their trajectories.

Ever since Resident Evil 4, the series has had Action Commands to counter some attacks, but until 5, they were quite limited in the variety of enemies susceptible to them, what attacks they used and especially the damage they dealt –- most of the time, they only serve to leave the opponent with its guard open for a while. Resident Evil 6 expanded the counter mechanic to include nearly every attack from 95% of the enemies, and a successful counter either is a One-Hit Kill or hits for massive damage.

Fate Series
In Fate/hollow ataraxia, Bazett's Noble Phantasm, Fragarach, takes the form of a large silver dagger and is considered "the ultimate counter-attack", and instantly kills any opponent who tries to use their Noble Phantasm against her. Using it as anything but a counter-attack or against anything other than the opponent's "trump card", however, makes it little more than an irritation.
When Bazett becomes a Pseudo-Servant in Fate/Grand Order, she is host to the Celtic god Manannán mac Lir, the original owner of Fragarach who gave it to the god Lugh who in turn gave it to the Fraga family that was passed down to Bazett herself. As its original owner, Manannán is able to utilize Fragarach in a far greater variety of ways, such as being able to create multiple Fragaraches at once in a variety of forms. The counter-attack also increases in potency and viability by allowing Manannán to reliably use it even against an opponent's regular attacks, though these can't invoke the "instant kill" that would occur against an enemy's trump card.

Super Robot Wars:
The game has a Counter skill, but it works differently, seeing as the defender makes an attack anyways (as long as it can). This variation makes the unit that Counters go first.
In general, every attack done leave the attacker open for a counterattack. In fact, sending a powerful robot alone among an army of weak mooks will allow you to defeat them much faster that if you attacked them one by one. On the other hand, when facing more powerful foes, you will start to realise that if you don't finish your opponent, it would be wise to outrange them, be able to avoid their counter attack or repair the damage afterward.

There's a Perk called Ricochet that you can take after spending 10 points in Luck. The perk grants you the ability for a shot fired at you to occasionally bounce off you but hit the shooter, instantly killing him. Which is why it is a Luck based perk - it will not always trigger. Higher levels grant increasing chances of this instant kill ricochet happening. The downside - you have to be at very low health, at which point, the shot could very well finish you off instead of bouncing off you.
The Bloodied Legendary weapon effect obtained from random weapon drops grants increasing damage, the lower your health. The Rad-Powered Legendary effect grants increased damage at high radiation levels, which effectively reduce hit points anyway. And then there is the Junkie Legendary effect which grants increasing weapon damage, the more chem withdrawal effects you are experiencing.

Dynasty Warriors:
Several characters of games has a move that allows them to counter enemy attacks.
Samurai Warriors 4: Munenori Yagyu's Special Skill is a counter. He activates it by striking a pose. If he takes any damage while his counter is active, he will automatically negate the damage and deal a quickdraw counter sword slash.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future:
Chaka, Khan and Black Polnareff have one of these as specials. Furthermore if they successfully connect, they "learn" the move that they countered so if the opponent uses that move on them again and its blocked, they will flash white and the player can press a button to instantly attack back. Chaka has a super where he can automatically learn ALL of his oppoennts moves at once!

Shadow DIO also has a variant Counter Teleport move where he starts reading a book. If the player hits him during this, he instanttly warps (or rather, stops time and walks) behind you whilst his book drops to the ground with an exclamation mark showing up.

EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce has every character perform a counter-attack after receiving a normal attack within their attack range. This works for enemies and player characters alike. While this can work to the player's advantage, players can avoid receiving counter-attacks by attacking from outside the enemy's range, using a transcendental attack, or making sure to land a killing shot that turn.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
This is the main offensive method used by waterbenders. Waterbending is a primarily defensive art, but one of the principles of this element is redirecting opponents' energy and turning it against them, allowing waterbenders' defense to become their offense.
One of the few defensive moves used in firebending operates like this: lightning redirection, a technique that General Iroh invented himself specifically by studying waterbenders. Firebenders utilize this technique by allowing the energy in their own bodies to flow, causing the lightning to follow it. This allows them to guide the lightning back out in the direction of their choosing, usually back at the opponent who used it against them in the first place.

Atlas Reactor has several freelancer skills that deal indirect damage if the user is dealt direct damage, from Asana's Retribution to Rampart's Attack Reflector shield mod. In the game's mechanics, 'direct' versus 'indirect' damage determines whether an attack triggers a counter-attack skill: Indirect damage from things like Gremolitions' mines or Grey's Attack Drone do not cause these skills to trigger a retribution (thus two counter-attack skills do not cause an endless cycle of back-and-forth attacks until one side is dead).

In Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slicked Precipice Of Darkness, Episode 1, Counter Attacks result when you get 'perfect timing' on a block-trigger. Completely nullifies damage, and hits the opponent with a basic attack instead. In the X360 version, there's even an achievement for winning a battle using nothing but counter-attacks.

Common in The Legend of Zelda games.
In addition to frequent use of the sword or shield to reflect enemy projectile attacks, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess have melee counters. The "Mortal Draw" in Twilight Princess is especially risky as Link must have his sword and shield put away to use it, though it's still worth using despite that. Many tough enemies are almost impossible to harm when they aren't trying to hit you, as well. Especially Darknuts.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword:
The game has a parrying ability used by shaking the nunchuck for Link to thrust his shield forward. Learning to parry attacks is worth it, since timing it right can stun enemies or knock their projectiles right back at them, and it doesn't wear down your shield's durability.
Mastering the Shield Bash's parrying ability is highly recommended to survive the final boss fight's first stage without a ton of healing and damage reduction potions; just attacking outright will take him down eventually, but you'll lose nearly all your hearts to his counter attacks in the process, while Link's counter attack strategy can prevent the boss from ever regaining the initiative until he gets serious for the second stage.

Mage Knight, in its second iteration, had a Counterattack special ability, though it was activated by the initial attack missing. It was frequently paired with the Parry ability, which gave the defender a better chance of being missed by a melee attack (and thus triggering the Counterattack).

Killer is Dead has the Dodge Burst, Counter Smash, and Counter Shot. Counter Smash works after doing a Just Guard (pressing block when a Wire flashes red) and pressing the button prompt that appears afterward (Y on 360/Triangle on PS3). The Counter Shot works by doing a Dodge Burst on gun wielding Wires. The last two counters you have to buy with your upgrade points.

DLC Character Bayonetta's down special, Witch Time, functions like a counter (Down-Special and Strength dependent on received attack), except instead of automatically dishing out damage, it instead slows down time, allowing Bayonetta to manually deal damage. Additional factors, such as enemy health percentage and if Witch Time was spammed (similar to Shulk), will affect the duration of Witch Time.

Demon's Souls: Although the timing is precise to the point where even if you time it right it may just fail outright anyway (if you're lucky it will consider it a block if you're using a shield) it's possible to pull off a counter attack by parrying an incoming weapon strike with a small shield, certain weapons, or even your own empty hand; if you immediately press the attack button afterwards your character will dish out a brutal riposte, the style of which are the most damaging physical attacks possible in the game. Even more damaging than sneak-attack backstabs. Gets ridiculous when you learn the timing to parry the BFS wielding Golden Skeletons with nothing but your open hand...

Super Mario Bros.:
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has the Superguard, an Action Command which negates all damage from an attack and damages the attacker for 1HP. It can also deflect some projectiles.
Vital in the Mario & Luigi series. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team also has clothes that automatically counter attacks afterwards (with a bolt of lightning hitting the enemy afterwards to deal out said damage). It's pretty useful on the later bosses, since their attacks do a ludicrous amount of damage anyway. And on Hard Mode, where attacks do about 7 times their usual damage to the hero (letting you get even on harder enemies without moving a muscle).

Final Fantasy IX has Counter, which gives the character a small chance to retaliate after being attacked and the support ability Eye 4 Eye increases the chances of a Counter triggering. Return Magic has the character that was hit by a magic attack cast the same spell back at the caster without spending MP to do so and it is not affected by Reflect. Return Magic also makes the Doomsday spell hit only the caster when it is used as a counterattack while the spell itself normally hits everyone in the battlefield.

In Final Fantasy VI, Cyan's second SwordTech ability, Retort, causes him to respond to the next physical attack with one of his own. This ability is the final trigger for the Psycho Cyan glitch., the short version of it being that it causes Cyan to consider his own counter attacks as an attack from the enemy, leading to an endless loop that won't end until every enemy is dead.
Retort actually responds to any physical attacks between when it's activated and when Cyan's ATB bar fills up again, allowing him to counter multiple moves if he's attacked more than once. Considering the fact that Cyan is the Mighty Glacier, this can be an effective way of getting him to hit powerfully multiple times in a single turn if the enemy keeps attacking him.
Shadow also randomly blocks certain physical attacks and counters with his dog Interceptor.

The Monk class in Final Fantasy XI has a Counter trait, which cancels an enemy attack and has you use an attack of your own. There's even an ability that boosts this counter rate, but it also removes most of your defense, so most of the time using the ability is paramount to suicide. Warriors also have a countering move, but it requires them to actually take damage before hitting back.

In Kamen Rider Kabuto, the title character's signature version of the franchise-standard Rider Kick involves turning his back to the Monster of the Week, powering up, and then landing an energy-charged roundhouse on whichever opponent was foolish enough to charge at his exposed back. Tendou himself outright calls the move a "counter kick" in the Hyper Battle DVD when Kagami imitates it during his attempt to be like Tendou, and Kamen Rider video games often turn the move into a traditional counterattack.

The Persona franchise often provides skills of this nature, even outside the natural "Reflect" abilities that demons/Personas can be imbued with. They usually have names such as "Counter" (low chance,) "Counterstrike "(medium chance,) and "High Counter" (high chance.) When these skills activate, the targeted character receives zero damage and the attacker is hit back with damage greater than what would have been inflicted, which makes them essential against physical powerhouses with high defenses.
Skills similar to these are around in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but they just make whoever has them have a random chance to counterattack whoever used a Physical skill or normal attack on them. Counter deals light damage in both games while Retaliate deals moderate damage in Nocturne and heavy damage in IV. Nocturne's heavy-damage counterattack passive skill is called Avenge. Shin Megami Tensei IV also has the Ally Counter and Ally Retaliate skills, which make the user counterattack when their allies are hit with normal attacks, Physical skills, or gun skills.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The game replaces Roy with Ike, whose counter functions in the same fashion. Marth's counter was upgraded to function similarly, but isn't as strong, due it triggering faster.

Super Smash Bros. Melee: Peach, Marth, and Roy have these, though the last of the three is most noteworthy, due to his counter's strength being based on how much damage the countered move would've dealt. There's also Mr. Game and Watch, who after catching three projectiles with his Oil Panic special can unleash their combined destructive force in a single attack. Peach is also the only character to not have her counter as a down-special.

Available to both ally and foe (the shield using ones), your counter may not always hit the attacker if there are more than one opponents (rather, it'll hit one of them at random).
The Warrior's Workbook item acquired through a sidequest grants a counter-attack ability to the Warrior class when they're holding the item.

Heroes of Might and Magic:
Counter-attacks are usually treated as normal attacks and deal the same damage. However some spells specifically increase the counter-attack damage, making it more potent than the regular attack as long as the spell is active.
Some units also have special abilities for counterattacks. Griffins especially have a history of being able to counterattack multiple times and may be given abilities like dealing more and more damage with each counterattack within the same turn.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time uses this heavily. Beware, however, since some sand creatures are capable of countering the Prince's counter. Luckily, the Prince can counter the counter of his counter, which can itself be countered, and so on and so forth. Successfully countering a sand creature knocks them down and leaves them open to be Retrieved.

Seigfried of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has an entire fighting style which consists of him transferring energy back towards his opponents by spinning. He also waits until the last moment possible to jump back, and make it appear like his opponent is hitting him, while he's really not, creates the illusion of him being invincible.

The Pokémon series is replete with examples:
The moves "Counter" and "Mirror Coat" return twice the damage incurred from physical or special attacks, respectively. "Metal Burst" can counter either type of attack (but with only a 50% increase in power), and "Bide" makes the user wait two turns before countering all the damage received during that time.
"Endeavor" reduces the opponent to the same HP as the user, while "Destiny Bond" causes the opponent to faint if the user was knocked out during the same turn.
Wynaut and Wobbuffet are built entirely around counterattacks, their repertoires consisting of the aforementioned Counter, Mirror Coat, and Destiny Bond.
The move "Sucker Punch" is unusual in that it hits hard and strikes first, but only if the opponent was readying a damage-dealing attack on the same turn. Likewise, the move "Me First" can mimic the opponent's move with stronger power, but only when the user is fast enough to act first.
Two moves, Revenge and Avalanche, will double in power if the user takes damage first. The move Payback is actually an aversion rather than an inversion: it doubles in power if the opponent moves first, regardless of whether damage was dealt.
Inverted by the move Focus Punch, which is a powerful move but always goes last and fails if countered (i.e. the user gets hit on the same turn).

The key to victory in Punch-Out!! is to dodge and counterattack. In early fights, the enemies tend to hang open for quite some time; the window rapidly closes as the game goes on. In addition, launching your own attack successfully just before the opponent does theirs deals extra damage and grants you a Star.

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the hero Link learns the Parry Attack, an Action Command in which the player lock-on targets an enemy, and presses "A" right before an enemy's attack, making Link dodge out of the way and then strike the enemy from behind or above. It's instrumental in defeating the powerful Darknut enemies, as well as the Big Bad Ganondorf.

When Bazett becomes a Pseudo-Servant in Fate/Grand Order, she is host to the Celtic god Manannán mac Lir, the original owner of Fragarach who gave it to the god Lugh who in turn gave it to the Fraga family that was passed down to Bazett herself. As its original owner, Manannán is able to utilize Fragarach in a far greater variety of ways, such as being able to create multiple Fragaraches at once in a variety of forms. The counter-attack also increases in potency and viability by allowing Manannán to reliably use it even against an opponent's regular attacks, though these can't invoke the "instant kill" that would occur against an enemy's trump card.

Final Fantasy and its many derivatives often use this trope, usually with the Monk class if there is one:
The Monk class in Final Fantasy III's DS version has the "Retaliate" ability which causes the monk to counterattack with double his normal attack damage every time he is hit with a physical attack that turn.
The DS remake of Final Fantasy IV has items that teach abilities with one being a counter ability.
The Monk job in Final Fantasy V comes with a Counter ability, which gives a (fairly high) random chance for the character to respond to any physical attack that hits them with one of their own. Giving this ability to characters in other jobs (or in the Bare or Mimic jobs, each of which automatically give the character all non-command abilities from classes they have mastered) allows this ability to be effectively combined with other useful combat abilities, such as 2-Swords.
In Final Fantasy VI, Cyan's second SwordTech ability, Retort, causes him to respond to the next physical attack with one of his own. This ability is the final trigger for the Psycho Cyan glitch., the short version of it being that it causes Cyan to consider his own counter attacks as an attack from the enemy, leading to an endless loop that won't end until every enemy is dead.
Retort actually responds to any physical attacks between when it's activated and when Cyan's ATB bar fills up again, allowing him to counter multiple moves if he's attacked more than once. Considering the fact that Cyan is the Mighty Glacier, this can be an effective way of getting him to hit powerfully multiple times in a single turn if the enemy keeps attacking him.
Shadow also randomly blocks certain physical attacks and counters with his dog Interceptor.
In Final Fantasy VII, certain materia, when equipped, enable counter-attacks. The Counter Attack materia does as it says: every time the character is struck with a physical attack, s/he has a 10%-50% chance (depending on the level of the materia) to hit the attacker right back with a physical attack. If the enemy's physical attack is part of a multi-hit combo, s/he can potentially counter each blow. Additionally, multiple Counter Attack materia can be equipped onto a single character, allowing him/her to counter every physical blow multiple times.There was also Counter materia you could link to another materia, so you'd counter with a specific spell or command. If used right, multiple pairs of Counter Command + Mime can have you counter attack with a Limit Break equal to how many pairs you have equipped! Even up to 8 OmniSlashes can be done in a single turn this way. Though the materias in question are one of a kind and you need a lot of Level Grinding to get multiple copies of them.
Possibly unique variant in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children; in the penultimate battle between Kadaj and Cloud, Kadaj (as the battle music goes into the middle eight) leaps at Cloud, and Cloud uses the Limit Break Finishing Touch to hit him in mid-leap, which sends Kadaj flying across the the battlefield, prompting Kadaj to have his "reunion"...
Final Fantasy IX has Counter, which gives the character a small chance to retaliate after being attacked and the support ability Eye 4 Eye increases the chances of a Counter triggering. Return Magic has the character that was hit by a magic attack cast the same spell back at the caster without spending MP to do so and it is not affected by Reflect. Return Magic also makes the Doomsday spell hit only the caster when it is used as a counterattack while the spell itself normally hits everyone in the battlefield.
Final Fantasy X lets characters equip weapons with various perks, including Counter (which triggers when hit with physical attacks), Evade&Counter (which triggers upon dodging physical attacks, AND increases the character's evasion rate), and Magic Counter (which triggers when hit with magic attacks, but the character counters with a physical attack).
These can be combined with Deathstrike to make fiends commit Suicide by Cop.
The Monk class in Final Fantasy XI has a Counter trait, which cancels an enemy attack and has you use an attack of your own. There's even an ability that boosts this counter rate, but it also removes most of your defense, so most of the time using the ability is paramount to suicide. Warriors also have a countering move, but it requires them to actually take damage before hitting back.
The first bosses of IV (Mist Dragon), V (Wing Raptor), VI (Whelk) and VII (Guard Scorpion). They have two phases, one of which is a defensive state that will counter with a strong attack if you hit them.
Final Fantasy XII has the Battle Harness and Genji Helm, both of which give the user a chance (based on the Speed stat) to counter melee attacks from enemies. The Genji Armor boosts the chance to counter.
Sentinels in Final Fantasy XIII have the abilities Vendetta (endure damage for a set amount of time and deliver a powerful counter afterwards), Entrench (similar, but trades a weaker counterattack for being in guard state the whole time) and can learn a passive ability which lets them auto-counter after dodging at an attack. In fact, counters are their only method of dealing damage at all.
Final Fantasy XVI: Precision-dodging an attack allows Clive to follow up with a counterattack. Additionally, various eikonic abilities are counterattacks.
Phoenix: Heatwave by default sends out a flaming slash. If this slash hits an enemy's projectile, it blocks that projectile and Heatwave Counter is triggered, sending out even more slashes and reducing the ability's cooldown.
Garuda: Rook's Gambit has Clive jump back and then deliver an attack. If the jump makes him evade an enemy attack, then the follow-up attack is stronger and cooldown is reduced.
Titan: Titanic Block is a shield that blocks attacks. Precision-blocking an attack allows Clive to counterattack up to three times. There's also Raging Fists, a series of punches. If the first hit blocks an enemy attack, Raging Fists does more damage and has lower cooldown.
In Final Fantasy Legend II, using the "Counter" and "Revenge Sword" items ("Cross Counter" and "Grudge Sword" in Japanese) would allow the character using it to immediately attack any enemy that attacked him/her/it during the turn. Several monsters also have specialized counter abilities.
Final Fantasy Tactics has a number of counter-attacks, one of the most useful being Hamedo. A guy goes to hit you, and you hit him first...hard. (Sometimes enough to kill him. You can actually survive a surprise attack while at near-death by virtue of the fact that he never actually landed his blow before you countered). Unfortunately it only works against humans and even then only physical attacks, making it of dubious usefulness at best.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance also has several variations: Counter, which works against all physical attacks whether they hit or not; Bonecrusher (commonly considered the most useful), which deals 50% more damage than Counter but requires that the attack hits and Strike Back which lets you evade and counter but only against basic attacks. There is also a version for spells too (called "return magic") which hits the enemy with the spell they just used on you, but only if you have the mana. And against enemies like the flans which are healed by the element they use, this can backfire badly.
The same applies to Final Fantasy Tactics A2, with Bonecrusher keeping its crown.
In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Exdeath's move set is built around countering and blocking, while Tidus's distinguishing feature is his reliance on Deadly Dodging. Though these two characters are built around the concept of counter-attacking, many other characters dabble in it: Warrior of Light's Shield of Light, Firion's Shield Bash, Cloud of Darkness's [Wrath] Particle Beam, Sephiroth's Scintilla, and Vaan's (switch) Sword & Shield are all block-and-counter moves, while the Cloud of Darkness, Prishe, and Vaan have a couple dodge-and-counter moves.

With the right timing, Kratos could counterattack in the God of War games. The first required a certain level of the Blades of Chaos, while the second required the Golden Fleece to be obtained. The ability to counter is given to you from the beginning since Kratos keeps the Golden Fleece from the last game.

Bastion, the Kid has the ability to counter enemy attacks with the the shield. However, to counter attacks and not merely deflect them, the shield must be drawn the moment before the attack lands. If the timing is right, the attack will be reflected back to the attacker for massive damage.

Battle Tendency: After Caesar traps Wamuu with his Bubble Lenses, the Pillar Man tries to save himself with his Wind Suit. In order to stop that, Caesar leaps at him to finish him off, but this unfortunately creates a shadow that let Wamuu counterattack with a point-blank Divine Sandstorm.
Diamond is Unbreakable: Toyohiro's Super Fly can absorb the power of any attacks done into the pylon and redirect the energy back. When Josuke and Okyuasu tried to pummel one of the supports down, Super Fly responded by unleashing flurry of punches where they attacked.

In Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun and Blue Moon, this was changed to be more intuitive — any properly timed chip counterattack can award a Counter Hit regardless of whether or not it was the finishing blow, but chips which darken the screen are not eligible. The reward was also changed; a Counter Hit briefly paralyzes the enemy or enemies, makes your next chip attack do double damage (which is a lot more valuable than doubling the attack that scored the Counter Hit itself, since the attacks you want doubled are often hard to counter with or not even eligible), and bosses don't get the usual Mercy Invincibility after a Counter Hit. However, the double damage doesn't stack with multiple Counter Hits on multiple enemies, and you lose it if you get hit before your next chip attack, plus Bugfrags became Random Drops and therefore harder to obtain.

Prince of Persia:
The most common fighting tactic in Prince of Persia is to wait for the opponent to attack, then defend and counter the attack. One of the enemies actually utilizes this tactic himself, and will not attack until the prince attacks him first.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time uses this heavily. Beware, however, since some sand creatures are capable of countering the Prince's counter. Luckily, the Prince can counter the counter of his counter, which can itself be countered, and so on and so forth. Successfully countering a sand creature knocks them down and leaves them open to be Retrieved.
Also used in the sequels Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. The effects of successfully countering an opponent change because of the Free Form Fighting system, but they will always give the Prince an advantage.
Timing a block correctly in Prince of Persia (2008) leaves an enemy open to attack.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is supposed to encourage taking the initiative and attacking first, as the developers felt that the effectiveness of counter kills led to time-consuming encounters due to this encouraging defensive play especially since you could now block with the Hidden Blade equipped. Part of the changes to the combat system is Executions, which allow Ezio to chain One Hit Kills after killing an enemy normally. In practice, a counter is still a perfectly legitimate means of getting that first kill. Also, aggressive countering — staying on the attack and tapping the block button to counter the wiseguy trying to interfere - as opposed to defensive countering — holding the block and waiting for enemies to strike — is now the way to go.

The Onimusha series lives by this trope. Central to the combat system is the 'Issen' technique, which requires the player to hit the attack button at the precise instant before an enemy attack would connect with you, thus resulting on a one-hit kill of the opponent. When pulled off correctly, it was possible to wipe out an entire room of enemies in under 2 seconds. However Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams simplifies it so that a simple strike from the magic attack button can start off an Issen chain (though doing it the classic way nets you more souls).

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U:
Both versions add Greninja who uses Substitute, replacing himself with a doll or Ninja Log to take the damage, and attacking the enemy when he reappears.
Lucina has Marth's counter (being a Moveset Clone). Little Mac has a similar counter attack and so does Palutena.
Shulk's Counterattack comes in the form of his Monado giving him a vision of the impending attack as a callback to his origin game; this has a very generous window to activate it, but decreases if it is spammed.
Mii Swordfighters can have a Fire Emblem style counter attack for their down special.
DLC character Corrin has a Counter as well, working similarly to Marth's but adding a Making a Splash effect.
DLC Character Bayonetta's down special, Witch Time, functions like a counter (Down-Special and Strength dependent on received attack), except instead of automatically dishing out damage, it instead slows down time, allowing Bayonetta to manually deal damage. Additional factors, such as enemy health percentage and if Witch Time was spammed (similar to Shulk), will affect the duration of Witch Time.

In Team Fortress 2, the Pyro can essencially do this by reflecting projectiles with the airblasts produced by his default flamethrower. This can be particularly devastating against a critbuffed Soldier, but also works on Demomen, Snipers with the Huntsman, another Pyro's flaregun and even sentry rockets, but it's harder to pull off.

The Monk job in Final Fantasy V comes with a Counter ability, which gives a (fairly high) random chance for the character to respond to any physical attack that hits them with one of their own. Giving this ability to characters in other jobs (or in the Bare or Mimic jobs, each of which automatically give the character all non-command abilities from classes they have mastered) allows this ability to be effectively combined with other useful combat abilities, such as 2-Swords.

Final Fantasy X lets characters equip weapons with various perks, including Counter (which triggers when hit with physical attacks), Evade&Counter (which triggers upon dodging physical attacks, AND increases the character's evasion rate), and Magic Counter (which triggers when hit with magic attacks, but the character counters with a physical attack).
These can be combined with Deathstrike to make fiends commit Suicide by Cop.

Bonfire has two kinds:
Nadia's Riposte ability lets her dodge the next attack (except for Area of Effect) and follow it with a powerful counter, making it an incredibly good skill for both offense and defense. Beware, though — Grim Slayers can use it too!
Mournfolk Guards' Earshot ability lets them counter any attack, even if not directed at them, and doesn't expire until their next turn comes around. While not terribly strong, it can wear you down if you use an Attack! Attack! Attack! strategy.

Skills similar to these are around in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but they just make whoever has them have a random chance to counterattack whoever used a Physical skill or normal attack on them. Counter deals light damage in both games while Retaliate deals moderate damage in Nocturne and heavy damage in IV. Nocturne's heavy-damage counterattack passive skill is called Avenge. Shin Megami Tensei IV also has the Ally Counter and Ally Retaliate skills, which make the user counterattack when their allies are hit with normal attacks, Physical skills, or gun skills.

One of the things that make Shiro Yoshimo so badass in the tabletop version of The Dresden Files is the Riposte stunt in his character writeup, which on a successful defense roll in melee allows him to sacrifice his next action in order to automatically hit the attacker back as though his defense roll had been a successful attack instead — which, given his high skill and especially in conjunction with the damage bonus and supernatural protection-neutralizing powers of Fidelacchius, can potentially end a fight right there or at least seriously skew it in his favor. It's worth noting that while most Fate games feature some stunt like this, those versions are usually more freely usable (i.e., don't require giving up one's entire next action) but also less powerful (often just hitting the attacker back for some small token amount of damage, although that's still automatic); this particular implementation seems to be largely unique to Dresden Files in particular.

Half the moveset of SNK characters Ryuhaku Todoh and Geese Howard revolve around this. "PREDICTABOWL!"
Also Ryuhaku's heiress and daughter Kasumi. Makes sense since they both practice Aikido, a martial art based heavily on redirecting the attacks that you receive.
Appropriately, Rock Howard also inherits his father's counter attacks (which he calls "Crack Counters"). Instead of slamming his opponent down, though, Rock performs Terry's Crack Shoot as his response.

Final Fantasy Tactics has a number of counter-attacks, one of the most useful being Hamedo. A guy goes to hit you, and you hit him first...hard. (Sometimes enough to kill him. You can actually survive a surprise attack while at near-death by virtue of the fact that he never actually landed his blow before you countered). Unfortunately it only works against humans and even then only physical attacks, making it of dubious usefulness at best.

In Infinite Dendrogram, the main protagonist's entire offensive ability relies on counter attacks, as his weapon will keep track of all the damage that he has sustained and then return it two-fold upon releasing the accumulated build-up. This allows him to punch above his weight, as it also ignores the enemy's defense.

Perhaps the best known villainous user of this in the series is Barbatos Goetia, whose fighting style in his first appearance revolves heavily around counterattacks that are performed in response to certain common actions, such as using magic, standing behind him, and running away from him. The one counterattack he retains in all of his appearances is performed in response to item usage, and is generally potent enough to discourage one from using items at all.
He also has a more mundane counterattack that's performed shortly after being struck in Tales of Destiny 2. Your characters can counter this counter with the Guard Strike ability, which in turn triggers another counter from him, which can result in silliness like this.

Assassin's Creed II: The tougher enemies (correlating to how much armor they wear) have a different animation when a counterattack isn't lethal and can even counterattack you (albeit without damage), but counters remain the best technique to kill everything. The Brutes (wielding axes or bastard swords) and Seekers (wielding polearms) cannot be countered by the longsword/mace/hammer (shared weapon slot) or the short blade, but can be countered by said axes, bastard swords, polearms, the Hidden Blade, or disarmed (as a well-timed "counter attack" with your Fists) when using your hands — at which point you can kill them with their own weapon, or just time your side step/dodge and you're be instantly behind your enemy, at which point any weapon is lethal.

In the Trails Series, beginning with The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, if an enemy attacks a playable character and misses, then the character can counterattack the enemy if they're close enough. Counteractively, if the playable character attacks the enemy and misses, the enemy can also counter.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel takes it up further with Rean Schwarzer in his Divine Knight who has a craft called "Morning Moon" where he takes an iaijutsu stance and will counterattack any enemy who attacks him.

Lancer: The HORUS Gorgon is a non-standard approach (HORUS' specialty) to the Defender role, built all around counter-attacks. Rather than actively shielding allies or standing in front tanking the shots meant for them, the Gorgon will simply hover in the vicinity seemingly doing nothing, right until an enemy takes a swing at its allies - at which point the Gorgon bursts into action and deploys its massive array of Reaction options and traits to make them thoroughly regret the attempt. From simple instantaneous counter-battery fire to virulent malware and even Brown Notes beamed directly into sensors and brains alike, the Gorgon will punish anything you try.

Hajime no Ippo:
Fragile Speedster Miyata's entire boxing strategy is based around using counterattacks to use his opponent's strength against him. Of course, with even the slightest miscalculation, his counterattack will lead to a Cross Counter that will probably not fare well for him.
Sawamura is also a very good counter puncher. Unlike Miyata, whose counters are high risk, high reward, Sawamura uses low risk, high reward counters where he attacks his opponent just as they begin their punch, and countering before it even is thrown.

The Rogue power Parry does little damage, but can (with an upgrade) be performed for no stamina cost while the Warrior power strikes for massive damage.

The Melee Counter ability in Metroid: Samus Returns, which allows Samus to whack an enemy with her arm cannon if it moves in to attack. If successfully performed, there will be a very brief moment of Hit Stop; pressing your Shoot button during the slowdown will cause Samus to automatically fire at the deflected target and inflict massive damage. On certain enemies, this can even start a cinematic that allows her the chance to inflict even more additional damage.

Mega Man Battle Network:
In Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue, delivering a finishing blow using a Battle Chip properly timed to be a counterattack sounded a chime and awarded Bugfrags (a second and much more valuable form of currency) if you went on to win the battle. If the chip can hit multiple enemies, multiple Counter Hits on multiple enemies stack.
In Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun and Blue Moon, this was changed to be more intuitive — any properly timed chip counterattack can award a Counter Hit regardless of whether or not it was the finishing blow, but chips which darken the screen are not eligible. The reward was also changed; a Counter Hit briefly paralyzes the enemy or enemies, makes your next chip attack do double damage (which is a lot more valuable than doubling the attack that scored the Counter Hit itself, since the attacks you want doubled are often hard to counter with or not even eligible), and bosses don't get the usual Mercy Invincibility after a Counter Hit. However, the double damage doesn't stack with multiple Counter Hits on multiple enemies, and you lose it if you get hit before your next chip attack, plus Bugfrags became Random Drops and therefore harder to obtain.
The various Anti chips present throughout the series will automatically trigger a counterattack against the opponent if they attempt to attack in a particular fashion after they've been used. Anti-Damage is the most basic one, allowing Mega Man to negate the damage of an attack by using a ninja substitution technique, then throwing one or three shuriken at the the assailant depending on the game.

In Phantasy Star Online 2, players can use counterattacks through a variety of ways, though most notably by wielding a katana, which is the only weapon type with a built-in counter. Most of the rest involve using specific equipment or attacks to get similar results. Some enemies can perform counterattacks of their own, but they are nowhere near as powerful as yours.

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Exdeath's move set is built around countering and blocking, while Tidus's distinguishing feature is his reliance on Deadly Dodging. Though these two characters are built around the concept of counter-attacking, many other characters dabble in it: Warrior of Light's Shield of Light, Firion's Shield Bash, Cloud of Darkness's [Wrath] Particle Beam, Sephiroth's Scintilla, and Vaan's (switch) Sword & Shield are all block-and-counter moves, while the Cloud of Darkness, Prishe, and Vaan have a couple dodge-and-counter moves.

Diamond is Unbreakable: Toyohiro's Super Fly can absorb the power of any attacks done into the pylon and redirect the energy back. When Josuke and Okyuasu tried to pummel one of the supports down, Super Fly responded by unleashing flurry of punches where they attacked. Toyohiro can also take advantage of this by scratching at the steel beams to create Pinball Projectiles that bounce around the structure like billiard balls.

Jeanne d'Arc:
All physical attacks are automatically countered, provided the attacker is in weapon range of the original target. The only exception is with the Archer class, which can't counter anything at all.
Additionally, there are the Skill Stones Counter and Counter II, which enable the target to preempt the foe's attack and cancel it with one of their own (as long as they're both within weapons' range, again). Attacking a character equipped with Counter II, even with special techniques, is usually an exercise in futility.

Street Fighter IV: Some of the Ultra moves must be pulled out when your character is attacked by their opponent, otherwise they won't work. (If they're blocked, also, you'll be open for a counterattack.) When they conntect, however? Total beatdown. The most obvious examples are Fei Long's Gekirinken and Cammy's Cammy Quick Combination.

ULTRAKILL: This is the sole purpose of The Feedbacker arm, your first arm and the one you might be using the most. It allows V1 to fully recover their health (up to the highest Hard Damage limit at least) and stamina while dishing out the hurt by parrying enemy attacks. The Shotgun is capable of parrying melee attacks as well, and while the timing and aiming may be a bit stricter, along with being unable to parry ranged attacks, the Shotgun's parries hit much harder than the Feedbacker's parries.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon actually manages to incorporate this into aerial combat. If the player is being chased in a Dogfight Maneuver, then with the right positioning they can execute a counter-maneuver to loop behind their assailant and begin a DFM against them. Enemies can do the exact same thing, mind... but players with twitch reflexes and a bit of luck can perform a counter-counter-maneuver, which slows time and puts the enemy right in the middle of your cannon sights for a good couple of seconds, more than long enough to tear apart anything not a boss. Fortunately, that trick is exclusive to the player.

In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Domon devises new attacks specifically to counter the Finishing Moves of the Five-Man Band; the God Shadow creates afterimages which catch Chibodee's Machine Gun Punch and the God Slash Typhoon cuts down George's Rose Hurricane.

Dead Rising and the other games in the series have a few moves that can be unlocked to counter a grab by a zombie. The first game, for example, has the Judo Throw, which involves Frank tossing the zombie over his head and ripping off its right arm!

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has one happen if the player does a well timed parry, called a Parry Counter. This does as much damage as a combo and often makes battles faster while minimizing damage you take. On the hardest difficulty, Revengeance, its power is multiplied by 10, allowing them to hit both mooks and bosses for massive damage. Certain enemies however, will either evade the counter or attempt to counter it. You can counter said counter, leading to some potentially long counter wars.

Early in Kinnikuman, the titular hero faces off against Jesse Maivia, master of reversing enemies' moves against them. Unfortunately for him, by relying on his move reversals so much, Jesse did not have any techniques of his own. Kinnikuman took advantage of this by doing nothing and then using Jesse's confusion as an opening to perform a move that Jesse had no way of countering.

The "Tenchi Mato" stance in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai allows the user unleash three different techniques at the same time in response to an enemy attack. However, it is explicitly stated that the user can pull this off only by using the enemy attack's energy to lessen the strain of using three techniques at once. Key word being lessen, not nullify: after performing the counter-attack, the user needs a split second to recover.

BlazBlue:
Hakumen has several moves of this sort. His standard Drive has him retaliate with various kinds of throws, Yukikaze is a Single-Stroke Battle, while Akumetsu pays awesomely transparent Homage to Shun Goku Satsu.
Makoto Nanaya's Space-Counter is a command parry rather than a drive like Hakumen's. Successful use will daze the opponent, leaving them open to a direct Impact reprisal that blows through them and sends them spinning skyward. An Extend Nerf prevents this from being used too rapidly in succession.
Bang Shishigami's drive, Burning Heart, is an interesting example. The move contains him doing a fiery punch or kick which still works on its own. However, if Bang is hit before he can do his move properly, he will not only block it, but it allows Bang to teleport certain distance, either to appear behind the opponent or to cover distance.

Feng Shui's Path of the Healthy Tiger is built upon counterattacks. The second power on the list, Tiger Stance, activates when you take damage from a martial arts attack, and Unyielding Tiger Stance, the next one down, requires only that you get attacked with a martial arts attack, and in both cases allows you to make a free martial arts attack on the opponent out of sequence. Most characters who are serious about Tiger style take the full three-schtick Tiger package which includes both major powers.

In Fate/hollow ataraxia, Bazett's Noble Phantasm, Fragarach, takes the form of a large silver dagger and is considered "the ultimate counter-attack", and instantly kills any opponent who tries to use their Noble Phantasm against her. Using it as anything but a counter-attack or against anything other than the opponent's "trump card", however, makes it little more than an irritation.

And in the prequel, Vindictus, it is a key skill for Fiona, requiring a smash immediately after guarding against a non-smash attack to deliver a vicious attack against the enemy that attacked her (as well as everything else within range!). The skill eats shields for breakfast, though, meaning that a good Campfire skill (which regenerates the quality of your armor and shield after sitting at it) is essential for her.

Kingdom Hearts:
The original Kingdom Hearts has a move literally called Counterattack. It was only usable in the quarter of a second immediately after blocking an enemy attack.
Kingdom Hearts II also has "Counterguard", which is more forgiving in its timing. It is also technically usable without the Guard ability (attacking at the right moment can yield the same effect), just much more unreliable/risky. Another move, "Retaliating Slash," allows Sora to strike back after a strong attack knocks him off balance.
Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance follow a similar model. Each character has access to a "counter" move after guarding successfully and a "payback" move when knocked off balance, each tailored to their fighting style.
Kingdom Hearts III has the same style of reprisals as the above. Additionally, the Counter Shield formchange is, as its name suggests, built around these; each successful block charges it up, and attacking once charged unleashes an extremely powerful counter move. The Frying Pan works the same way.

Assassin's Creed:
Assassin's Creed uses counterattacks to make up most of its fencing system. Altaïr only shoves away foes when countering a grapple, but countering foes' weapon strikes are instantly fatal. This is the best way to depopulate the city guards of the Holy Land given the kindness of the guardsmen in generously waiting their turns to attack you one at a time.
There are times when countering with either sword only knocks an opponent back unless it's followed up by another button press at the correct moment. The Hidden Blade will always be fatal on the counter attack, though. As for waiting for the guards... the more skilled professional soldiers will gladly let you sit back — and then guard break your weapon and beat the hell out of you.
Assassin's Creed II: The tougher enemies (correlating to how much armor they wear) have a different animation when a counterattack isn't lethal and can even counterattack you (albeit without damage), but counters remain the best technique to kill everything. The Brutes (wielding axes or bastard swords) and Seekers (wielding polearms) cannot be countered by the longsword/mace/hammer (shared weapon slot) or the short blade, but can be countered by said axes, bastard swords, polearms, the Hidden Blade, or disarmed (as a well-timed "counter attack" with your Fists) when using your hands — at which point you can kill them with their own weapon, or just time your side step/dodge and you're be instantly behind your enemy, at which point any weapon is lethal.
Assassin's Creed III: Connor, the protagonist, can counter two attacks at the same time, a la Batman: Arkham City.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is supposed to encourage taking the initiative and attacking first, as the developers felt that the effectiveness of counter kills led to time-consuming encounters due to this encouraging defensive play especially since you could now block with the Hidden Blade equipped. Part of the changes to the combat system is Executions, which allow Ezio to chain One Hit Kills after killing an enemy normally. In practice, a counter is still a perfectly legitimate means of getting that first kill. Also, aggressive countering — staying on the attack and tapping the block button to counter the wiseguy trying to interfere - as opposed to defensive countering — holding the block and waiting for enemies to strike — is now the way to go.

Super Smash Bros.: Multiple characters have a move of this nature, or some variant. They usually only have a very small window of being active, meaning the player will have to use very precise timing to successfully activate the counter.
Super Smash Bros. Melee: Peach, Marth, and Roy have these, though the last of the three is most noteworthy, due to his counter's strength being based on how much damage the countered move would've dealt. There's also Mr. Game and Watch, who after catching three projectiles with his Oil Panic special can unleash their combined destructive force in a single attack. Peach is also the only character to not have her counter as a down-special.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The game replaces Roy with Ike, whose counter functions in the same fashion. Marth's counter was upgraded to function similarly, but isn't as strong, due it triggering faster. It also adds Lucario, whose Double Team counter can become an extremely powerful KO move if he's at a high damage percentage, but is less reliable due to its physics.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U:
Both versions add Greninja who uses Substitute, replacing himself with a doll or Ninja Log to take the damage, and attacking the enemy when he reappears.
Lucina has Marth's counter (being a Moveset Clone). Little Mac has a similar counter attack and so does Palutena.
Shulk's Counterattack comes in the form of his Monado giving him a vision of the impending attack as a callback to his origin game; this has a very generous window to activate it, but decreases if it is spammed.
Mii Swordfighters can have a Fire Emblem style counter attack for their down special.
DLC character Corrin has a Counter as well, working similarly to Marth's but adding a Making a Splash effect.
DLC Character Bayonetta's down special, Witch Time, functions like a counter (Down-Special and Strength dependent on received attack), except instead of automatically dishing out damage, it instead slows down time, allowing Bayonetta to manually deal damage. Additional factors, such as enemy health percentage and if Witch Time was spammed (similar to Shulk), will affect the duration of Witch Time.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: In addition to bringing back all previous fighters with this move, the game introduces new characters capable of performing this move:
King K.Rool uses his gold-plated gut as a counter similar to that of the Fire Emblem characters (including Chrom, who also debuts in this game and is an Echo Fighter to Roy).
Princess Daisy, being an Echo Fighter of Princess Peach, borrows her counter move (and once again it's used by simply pressing B, instead of holding Down beforehand).
Incineroar has a variation of a Counter called Revenge, where it still takes damaged (albeit reduced) but it powers up Incineroar's next attack.
DLC Character Joker has a variant of counter called Rebel's Guard where he takes reduced damage to fill up his Rebellion Gauge; when deactivated, Joker can deal minor damage to the opponent if he took a hit; and filling up the Rebellion Gauge allows him to summon Arsene, who will replace Rebel's Guard with Tetrakarn (a more traditional counter), and Makarakarn (a reflector).
Sephiroth's Scintilla creates a reflective barrier in front of him that blocks hits, but the attack comes out even if it doesn't block anything and deals more damage if it does.
Sora's Counterattack staggers opponents it counters and doesn't redirect projectiles.
