That's something I picked up with, of all things, Goemon games; and that playing style solidified when trying to do Ninja Gaiden proper. My theory with platformers ever since has been thus: I am shit and incompetent. If you give me a million hours to measure this jump, I will still fuck it up. Best get it over with.
It's not about gittin' gud, anon. It's about becoming one with the flow of the level. Embracing the layers of parallax until you move between them to reach your goal. Seek the highest form of platform mastery and enlightenment. Expand your dong.
