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.

    I second Rocket League. It’s hard to find other competitive games that scratch the itch now though. I used to be an FPS guy but the challenge they have just makes me wish I was splaying rocket league

      Thirded, and was expecting RL come up. It’s so unbelievably hard to master yet extremely simple and easy to get a leg up on competition through common sense.

      There is the smurfing problem that seems to arise for me after midnight, but I’m at a level now that smurfs either quit early, or I can torture them into leaving matches.

      There really isn’t any other game that scratches the itch. We all suck at RL, but the calling of will to suck just a bit less never dies.
