Of course, "no teleport to avoid cheese" would also mean no teleporting Rescue, so eh.
Shukuchi never used to be an actual teleport, its always been a dash that makes you invisible. The only major changes to it they made to how shukuchi works were making it so that it travels faster and launches you faster.
