And that's not what I would call a counter to an ability.

A counter to an ability would be something that counters it's effects partially or fully. Flying? Something that pulls you down. Damage boost from pain? Something that hurts you painlessly. Speed boost? Something that slows or stops you.

Giving Ruby a kick to the chest however, it's just preventing her from using it.

And note: Mercury only managed to kick her, because she went towards him. Not even around him, towards him. How was he not going to hit her?
