So TYM experts do all dive kicks in Mk9 autocorrect?

For Kung Lao, I believe if you are crossing up an opponent and you are directly over their head and dive kick. It whiffs and keeps moving forward.

And if you are thirty degrees (give or take) over your opponent's head and dive kick, he will turn around and hit the opponent.

I can't back this up but I always assumed it was the same mechanic that turns a player around on the ground. If you time it just right (or wrong) your attack comes out before your turn around is activated. Opponent goes opposite direction and the dive kick wiffs. Though like I said this is just my guess. Sonya's is so tight though I doubt you'd be able to pull it off even if it did follow that mechanic. Maybe CSZ can?

Cyber Sub's divekick does autocorrect. It's usually more of a hinderance than anything.
