I know that they are going to roll to roll toward me to dodge and counter, so I actually hit left/right as soon as the attack is initiated. The extra turn time actually increases the attack animation and direction just enough to ignore the i-frames from their roll (assuming that I aimed in the same direction that they dodged). As cool as that is, it doesn't work so well for say, the Pursuer's Greatsword, whose normal attack is incredibly narrow (hammer smash) and won't hit at all by doing that. =/ I guess it also depends on the moveset. I use weapons that have a horizontal sprint attack, because I want to cover as much area as possible for the desired effect listed above.
