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.

Fuck yea dude all of those are the best. The story line of Doom is scary as hell but it also helps you accept your facial deformities and come to terms with the fact that no plastic surgeon can help you

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It's a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

Nerf Arena Blast. The first FPS I ever played. Got so good and bunny hopping around.

TF1, Q3 arena - at least for multiplayer.

Counter-Strike: aim accuracy and incredible keyboard-mouse hands eye coordination. Also, being able to grind and mental simulations of possibilities to be ready against them. It is like chess but with consequences.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Carbon, Underground and Underground 2 require you to use manual gears if you want to improve. Also, those titles involve a lot of manual car equipment tuning. The precision required on keyboard is almost equivalent to the combined precision you would need for Counter-Strike with both keyboard and mouse.

Pocket Tanks: incredible amount of guesstimation with projectile classical physics, and being creative with the use of weaponry. To make it harder, I always play against CPU-10 with always selecting "Random" weapons to learn to make the most of what I have.

Mario Forever community fanmakes: Yes, that Mario Forever game from 2005 has a giant community. The community exists across USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, Vietnam, South America and elsewhere. Some of the fanmakes have levels and battles against Bowser that can last 20-30 minutes with no mistakes allowed. BLOODY FUCKING HARD. Go through the community forum via this, to dive down this deep rabbit hole: https://download.marioforever.net/mf-games-en.html If you think Mario is easy, check this out https://youtube.com/watch?v=Oqv2JBGi4EA or https://youtube.com/watch?v=lpphf_gsYaQ or https://youtube.com/watch?v=P6ZIBZtOT30

Oh neat! Is that like Kaizo Mario?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kaizo Mario would be some of the fanmakes like World of Stupidity. This rabbit hole goes way too deep. I am one of the best MF players in the world, and have been unable to complete one level to this day, which nobody else has either. One day I want to.
