Is there any way to "CounterAttack"?

I own all 4 Paper Mario games and I have enjoyed the counterattack in the battle scenes in the first two PM games, but I notice in Sticker Star that you can do regular defense(Pressing A when getting attacked), but why isn't there a counterattack like in the other games. I love that ability.

I know about the spiked helmet, but I mean aside from that, like in the 1st and 2nd games where you just press B at the right time to counterattack. I find that the spike helmet is kinda useless to me.

A quick reminder: In the first game, I don't believe there was a counterattack button, only the guard button. No, there is no button that acts as a counterattack, unless you get either the Spike Helmet sticker, which hurts enemies attacking from above, or perhaps the Frog Suit sticker (untested, but may let you jump on some enemies)

There is a sticker designed specificly to counter aerial attack. It's dropped by Spinies and a few other enemies.

There are several stickers that allow counter attacking, such as the Spike Helmet. As you progress through the game you will acquire stickers that allow jump counter attacks as well. Each of these stickers are used up after the Enemy's turn is over. Also, in the first and second Paper Mario games, there was no counter attack button. You are likely thinking of 'Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga' and the likes.

@CFitzzz No I remember in the second game (thousand year door) you could press B to counter attack, you took NO damage and did 1 damage to the enemy but the timing was way harder than the A button block, it might have been in the first one too but I can't remember.
