SSB4 Counter a Counter
In SSB4, is it possible to counter the hit resulting from an opponent's counter? For instance, say that Samus and Ike are on the same team and the game settings prevent players on the same team from hurting each other. Say Ike is face-to-face with a Marth on the other team and Samus fires her power ball from behind Ike. If Marth counters the energy ball, his counter will hit Ike since they are standing close together. If Ike counters right before Marth's counter activates, would he counter Marth's counter hit and not take any damage, or do both counters hit?
Best Answer
Yes, but some counters make you invulnerable during their duration. In your scenario, Ike and Marth would hit each other, but neither would take damage.
A counter like the one Shulk has, would allow you to counter the opponent's counter and also hurt him, because Shulk pauses before he hits the opponent. This allows the opponent to get out of his invincibility first.

Marth's Counter deals up to 7% damage, regardless of the attack. Marth's Counter has a faster start-up time and lasts slightly longer than Roy's Counter, which makes Marth's Counter more effective but less damaging. In Super Smash Bros.

Answer 2
The counter window of most characters is pretty small. That is to say activating a counter by being hit by a counter is very difficult. It is in no way impossible, though.
However, many characters experience a period of invincibility before/during their counter. I know from experience it is not impossible to deal damage in a scenario similar to the one above, but the timing must be spot on. Because the invincibility only lasts a split second, you can still deal damage without taking it, but you almost are required to slow time to do so.
