I want to get better at platformers. Proper platformers, not things like Contra which I always get recommended. Looking primarily at SNES/Genesis/possibly PS1, which games have a steep yet rewarding learning curve which translates well to other games in the genre?

Pic (mostly) unrelated.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:23:20 2013 No.1211658 I think Mega Man might have you covered in that respect. Also try the Castlevania and G&G games. Bionic Commando is a stretch, but I like it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:24:49 2013 No.1211659 >>1211658 Mega Man is just as generic as Contra! You might as well posted Contra like the rest of the trolls did. Fart on you, too!

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:35:19 2013 No.1211671 >>1211668 No. I am a respectable gamer who wants PROPER platformers. Not generic suggestions from generic gamers.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:35:20 2013 No.1211672 >>1211669 >People voting Contra and not Contra Shit tastes.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:41:21 2013 No.1211676 >>1211671 I don't even fucking know what you are asking for. Why is Contra generic? Why is proper the opposite of generic? What's a non-generic gamer? Do you mean "unconventional" when you say proper or what?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:43:19 2013 No.1211680 >>1211671 How do you become a respectable gamer? I think I'm currently in generic/hipster gamer rank but I want to ascend, pls help.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 08:44:19 2013 No.1211681 I would honestly not even put Contra under platformer since platforming is secondary to shooting the fuck out of everything. Run 'n gun is what I roll with.

that guy isn't OP btw, I posted this during my work break and only just had chance to check back. What I actually meant is was that games like Contra (that are famous for being difficult therefore get suggested all the time) are hard due to the shooting aspect, not really the precision jumps or pretty much anything on the platformer side. I was looking for something more along the lines of rayman or lost levels. I wasn't saying contra's not a proper game.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 09:28:53 2013 No.1211719 >>1211716 Play Contra

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 09:54:39 2013 No.1211740 Play Super Castlevania and Dracula X.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 20 11:44:01 2013 No.1211845 >>1211606 How about Super Contra 7?

You should deploy the Miomoto trick. Each day for 1h you you play Super Mario Bros for one month. The next month you proceed through the Mario games. This ensure that you have platforming basic knowledge 101. Eat alot of fruit, especially oranges (contain alot of d vitamine). This will enhance the reaction speed.
