I think I sort of experienced the same thing but I don't in my case it's the "I'm gonna lose mentality." I found myself having an odd losing streak of 14 in ranked that made me nuts. But I'm near 50/50 on the norm. Basically, I have multiple people online, mostly in my playing circle (specifically lufenia, miss korgon, and dxmds) telling me I play way too safe, timid, and defensive. I'm new to 2d fighting when it comes to playing somewhat seriously. But they were telling me that I have no killer instinct (no pun intended). Funny thing is since release, they're still telling me the same. Maybe I don't have it in me. I'm one of those lv. 59s with only a 43.2 win ptc. (28.3% in player matches). To me, I'm trying to poke with litchi, setup a CH, establish a medium range game with her, or rush with rag, hit confirm then combo (both), and then mixup on my opponents wakeup. But, I can't find out what I'm not doing.
