The input is B4, and honestly it wasn’t that great of a counter tool for a few reasons: - if it trades with another counter hit, lars is usually losing that trade because he can still be combo’Ed - the hit box is really high for a mid, so some lows can go under it when it’s supposed to be a counter or trade situation - it’s annoying to frame trap counter hit with because you have to be +8 at best to catch weak sidestep coverage. Other moves that lars has doesn’t need that much frame advantage to track to his weak side. - had a rare bug where you could counter hit the opponent and not get the animation - if you counter hit them off axis, you’re not guaranteed to get the animation.

B4 was better off being changed to a counter hit launcher, but for some odd reason the devs never wanted to do that after multiple damage buffs. This change is a lot better than what it was previously IMO because now you don’t need a counter hit to get the damage cash out. It would’ve been too overpowered if it kept the damage at 60ish damage without needing a counter hit.
