Anti-Safe Support Idea

So I have recently been trying to work out a way of getting around the "make my move safe" meta while playing online. This was triggered by the Kitana example below that I was struggling to deal with online in the corner.

I have found that Kung Lao teleport will actually grab you if you call him in before you get hit. Using this in combination with the time freeze, the "kidnap cancel", and the teleport armor, lets you punish when a Kameo is bring brought in to cover for an unsafe move.

Here are a few videos showing what I mean with Kitana, Baraka and Jonny - where possible I tried to get this tech to work when REACTING, rather than doing a reversal on a read.

Now this does depend on the timing of when the Kameo is used - but as long as there is at least a 16 frame window to get the time-stop out, it works. It doesn't matter if the Kameo is Kano or Striker or whoever.
If the opponent is on point though, and the kameo is hitting within 16 frames, then this won't work.
