Counter doesn't neccessarily mean using the block button. I use both mind you. If you do slashing blow, I'll dodge and counter with thunder, connect to flare. That's 1000. If you'll do braver, I'll dodge and counter melee, another 1000. If you'll try and do any spells I'll dash right in you and another 1000. If you'll try to stay on the ground I'll force you in the air. You've got nothing as Cloud against my OK.
