Fatal Counter Hit

A Fatal Counter is a type of Counter Hit introduced in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift that is even more devastating than a normal Counter hit. This is because when the opponent is hit by a Fatal Counter, all attacks that follow up in that combo will have a slightly longer stun effect than usual. Like Counter Hits, Fatal Counter Hits allow to perform advanced combos that are only possible after a Counter. Each character has one or two attacks that can cause a Fatal Counter Hit.

For example, Ragna's crouching C causes a Fatal Counter Hit when he counters with it and can be followed up with his standing D > Dash Cancel multiple times, something that could not be done without a Fatal Counter Hit.

Fatal Counter combos have the potential to be far more powerful than combos performed without one.
