I sometimes prefer to lose one hour straight that think that I'm doing well in a game
At least 6 months ago I has been totally raped on KOF 98 UM and RBF2, without winning any rounds and sometimes with perfects
After that time, I'm still not better than most of them, but at least now I could get more wins everyday, pulling stuff that I could never think that I could pull, and being less afraid of fighting characters that I feel were super strong
If somebody really wants to learn a game, and really likes, a losing streak shouldn't discourage them
