Ah, okay.
Green is the one that you usually use your counters for though. You're going for the kill, you read the burst and counter, etc. There's still old fashioned burst baiting though.
As for wake up gold bursts, if they're going to counter it, that means they probably saw it coming. If they see it coming, they don't have to use a counter. They can do j.2C and avoid the burst, then hit you on the way down while you're helpless. That's something that I don't pull off often though.
