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.

    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.
