Is it fine to like... Skip DmC 1 and 2 and just get to three? I'm a KH2 player so I would like a little more speed and verticality compared to what DmC 1 has provided so far.

dmc1 has plenty of both but you got to work them out. dmc2 is not really worth playing. dmc3 is a little smoother of an onramp and it’s great in it’s own way so yeah it might be better to start there. you still gotta do a special move to get enemies in the air though
