Hi everyone! So I just wanted some clarification and some advice to be honest. I'm an OG DMC player, new speedrunner. I was just wondering if everyone does the M3 oob skip before Artemis and if I HAVE to learn it or can I just continue glitchless? I checked a few of the runs on here and most people seem to use that strat?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my ramblings!
