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.

Unironically old school runescape. Playing it for years ingrained the concept of efficiency into me. Now I'm able to do well in games where mechanically I'm still shit because I'm constantly trying to use my time as efficiently as possible.
