Say Katahide is attacking, and the opposing player defends. The attacking player uses Sneak Attack on Katahide, and the defender uses Reinforce or No Time for Games. Does Katahida get his additional action. I would say yes, because he never says "If Successful"

Whether or not their effects "do not" happen or are "negated", all actions that are taken "resolve".

So, yes, Katahide will have a vaild trigger for his Reaction even if the Defender uses Reinforce the Gates or No Time for Games on your first action.
