For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

This dates me somewhat, but trials maps in UT2004 helped me develop a lot of precision and fast fingers.

It was a multiplayer FPS, but it had cool mobility like double-tap dodges, double jumps, wallkicks, and crouch jumps. And they could be combined in many ways, so there were platforming levels of varying levels of difficulty. Diagonal dodge-doublejump with a wallkick at the very end to get onto a platform that's like 4 inches square, type of thing.

Dates you? You're probably still in your mid to late teens (or worst early 20s) just like me, right? Riiiight? Not in your 30s. Nope.

I can still hear the m-m-m-m-m-monster kill kill kill....
