Just this last week I've been in a weird state with osu. I've been going back and playing maps that I've beaten before in hopes of Fcing or improving on my old score. In some cases I have, but in more cases I have gotten worse.
As I replay some maps I wonder how I ever got X sized combo or FCed that map in the past. I've been changing up my pen grip, the way I hold my tapping hand, the area that I use on my tablet. They've all gotten relevtively better, but one thing stayed "wrong." The skin I've used and tailored for myself for however many months now, suddenly doesn't make sense to me. I shitmiss so frequently with it that I can't help but thing the skin is the problem.
So I tested this theory by playing some old maps with skins completely new to me. Toy's skin, zeluaR's skin and even the keemstar skin (laughed my ass off at that one) are the 3 I tried. I beat old scores, and just felt like I understood jump patterns and streams better. Just a few minutes ago I got a (shitty) FC on
Terrible accuracy for a simple 4.38* song, but it's an FC nonetheless. That's something I've been having trouble getting on maps over 500 combo as of late. I did that with zeluaR's skin and even got a higher combo with the keemstar skin than my own.
So my question is, has this ever happened to you, and if so what did you do about it? Should I drastically change my skin, or make small modifications to varying aspects of it?
Here are each skin that I used, I always felt mine was clear, atleast to me. But now I just don't get it. Toy's felt cluttered to me, but I still preformed better then with my own. zeluaR's was a bit clearer to me, but the hitsounds threw me off. The keemstar skin just made me laugh and surprised me when I felt I understood it better then my own skin.

If you notice something wrong with my skin that I'm not seeing, then please point it out. I want to keep my skin similar to how it is, but I also want to find out what's making it feel so unfamiliar this past week. Thank you.
