fighting games have moves called 'counters' where, if player 1 activates their counter right before player 2 hits them, player 1 takes no damage and instead damages player 2, usually for a great deal of health. the joke being that shen sucks at fighting games and cant even beat counter-spam 💯
This is why we switched our kitchen to parrytops. The hitstop when you set something down is annoying but it's a 3rd Strike parry so I never get tired of the sound.
In games there is something called a "counter" basically when you perfectly press your Guard button just before getting hit, you do a "counter" which often results in alot of damage or even instant Death to the enemy
