Lol how is that not the definition of streaky? Streaky is just that, streaks of good and bad rather than it being randomly interspersed throughout. So you have a streak of fails, then you have a streak of a few skill ups.
That IS the definition of streaky. The issue is that p99's RNG is disproportionately streaky when you look at the average % for different things to occur.

If something has a 50/50 chance of happening, then it will tend to not have streaks of 5+ very often. They'll happen, but you'll be able to predict quite accurately how often a streak of any given length will happen.

On p99, something that has a 50/50 chance of happening has streaks of whatever length too consistently for the RNG to actually be even close to actually random.
