Hey fellow melee player! Nice to meet you.

Check out The King's Bird. It's a technically deep and rewarding platformer with a solid art style and tight controls. In fact, it has many mechanics that remind me a bit of melee: walljumping, wavedash-esque techniques, precise analog movement, etc. It has 80+ individual levels (with leaderboards). It's been my speedgame of choice recently; I just got my first IL (individual level) record a couple days ago. Aiming for records across the board. Lotsa fun, with many features to make life easier for speedrunners. https://www.speedrun.com/The_Kings_Bird

Also check out www.superninjaslash.com. It's yet another technically deep platformer, and one I happen to have the WR for. It's free, and it tracks your time in-client, to the hundredth of a second. Technically it has 9 individual levels, but the run is so quick once you learn the route, you'll be aiming for <1 minute completion of the game (all 9 levels). It's still easy and fun to practice one level at a time, though.
