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.
