How to unlock the Over the Counter achievement in Spider-Man Web of Shadows - Definitive Guide
I did this in Act 2 against Kingpin's robots (the ones that do the "Highrise Heists"). Note that you need the counter upgrade purchased for this to work, then just hit RB when the guy is about to swing at you, if done right time slows for half a second, then immediately hit X. If you're on the ground when you do this you'll spit web at them (if in the red suit) and tie them up. Walk up to them on the ground, tap X to free them, and repeat (you can do the same guy many times, it's not 100 different enemies).
I found a much less time comsuming way to do this. Once you have progressed wo where the "zombie" symbiotes are walking around you should go into the street and start counter attacking. BUT, make sure that you line up your couter attack so that when the zombie body goes flying it hits other behind him. It gave me credit for these - sometimes as many as 6 with one counter attack. I used the black suit and was fully counter-attack upgraded. Have fun!

Great solution. This is the fastest way to nab this tedious achievement!

This becomes much easier after you beat Act Two. You will find symbiote's (white & slow) everywhere walking down the streets all like zombie's.. They are very easy to block (Left Button) and counter (followed by X), so just repeat until the achievement pops.
This method is best attempted using the RED suit, as the red suit only shoots web at the enemy, and does virtually no damage.
I found a very easy and fast way to do this one, In act two when you are fighting Kingpin's Robots, You'll notice that there are sometimes groups of 3-4 of the big ones hanging onto the side of a building next to a big drill (You are required to destroy 5 of them in one specific mission). They don't seem to try and attack you unless you get close. So, take out all of them except one, and run away. Come back to the building with the lone robot on it after he has settled back into his position. While climbing on the wall, inch towards him until he starts doing his blue shockwave move. You can block (RB) this move as if it were any normal attack, then counter it (X) after the camera slows down for a second or so. Spiderman should shoot a big web towards him which does little to no damage, while on the wall, he does not get ensnared, so he will run back and do his shockwave move again, rinse and repeat and you've got yourself the achievement.
Please note you need the "Counter Attack" upgrade under "Ground Attacks" to get this achievement.

You still have to buy this move, but it's one of the first. The idea is simple. See an enemy attack - hold down Rb. Time slows down? Press X and the spider will hit the enemy with a super attack. You need to do this 100 times. I got it on a mission where I had to chase Venom around the city (after a battle with Wolverine). Before that, I defeated all enemies only this way (but missed bonus targets), except for those with guns.
