Just want to make sure this is legal.
A player performs an action to move his personality into the current battlefield where I have no units. Can I play The Moto Feint to move my personality in and then play Cut Them Off on the opponent's personality?

Short answer: Yes, it is.

Long answer: But you can't do it that quickly.
The Moto Feint reacts to an enemy Personality moving. And of course, your opponent gets the first opportunity to react to his own guy moving (if he has any) and then you can play TMF. And then, you both can take any more Reactions to further effects that happen within and during the original action that moved your opponent's guy (like YOUR guy moving, for instance).
Now, Cut Them Off doesn't trigger until your opponent's action finishes resolving (ends). Then, you can play it.
