Shulk, Palutena, Ike, Little Mac, Marth, and Lucina I think are the only ones that can. Countering can be useful, but it's really riskuy. Usually not worth it unless you have a very strong read.

Greninja and Lucario also has a counter. Some of the characters counters are better than others. Marth probably has the strongest counter, but I didn't really check.

Yeah. Greninja, Lucario and Little Mac do apply to that "risky counter" thing, since they can even SD if they time it wrong (I think Shulk and Palutena also apply but I don't quite remember how their counters worked).
Ike, Lucina and Marth don't apply though. Their counters are extremely fast, strong and "riskless" (is that even a word?). Totally OP.

I did miss Greninja and Lucario. But Marth, Ike, and Lucina are definitely not riskless. The risk isn't SDing, the risk is that if you use it at the wrong time, your opponent can easily punish you.

Counters are extremely easy to punish, especially against players rather than CPUs. In fact, because of these characters having counters, I have seen people overusing the counter and it becomes painfully easy to predict when they will use it. But my main problem comes from multi-man CPU battles (whether in Classic or just in Smash with level 9 CPUs).
