It's about keeping that balance, pride is a good thing as it motivates you to move forward, too much results in arrogance and big-headedness, causing you to disrespect players, which ends up causing needless beef with people.
Humility is good as it helps you keep your feet on the ground, but keep thinking that and you set a barrier for yourself that you'll believe you're unable to cross it.
In general it's about keeping that healthy respect for your fellow opponent...unless he/she is a complete asshole with no redeemable factor.

If I could use @Alex.J as an example, and I hope he doesn't mind (and purely because I genuinely don't know anyone else who does this) but watching him at EVO and another event that I forget the name of (fought Xeph with his Xiba, and NoFaceKiller in the GF's, I think it was NCR or something).
How he acted and played was typical of a cocky, douchey S.o.B, mocking them, taking the piss outta them. However, end of the match he turned to his opponent, shook hands with them and said GG's...that's the kind of balance one should strive for.

You just told people to be like me. How can I be offended?

ALL COMPETITORS HAVE CONVINCED THEMSELVES THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE OTHER PLAYERS. WHETHER OR NOT THEY OPENLY TELL THAT TO PEOPLE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WHEN THE ACTUAL FIGHTING OCCURS. SO I THINK HUMILITY IS A FAULTY CONCEPT. EVERYONE'S BEING COCKY TO DIFFERENT DEGREES. QUIET COMPETITORS ARE SO COCKY THEY DON'T EVEN FEEL COMPELLED TO EXPRESS IT.

THAT BEING SAID, I'D RATHER PLAY SOMEONE WHO IS OPEN TO DISCUSSION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE LOUD OR QUIET. MOST PEOPLE ARE TOO SELF-ABSORBED TO LISTEN TO DIFFERENT IDEAS AND THEY GIVE NO FUCKS ABOUT NEITHER ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES NOR ANYTHING BUT THEIR AGENDAS THEY'VE ALREADY PUT INTO MOTION.

All competitors do have that cockiness. However, I do have to disagree when you say, "All players have convinced themselves they are better than the other player."

I am a egotistical asshole- but even I recognize who my competition is. There's a few people who I've openly told "You are better than me." Or have openly said, speaking in general, "they are better than me."

Oh, as for the question via topic, they both suck. And would definitely not win 100%.

I suppose this would depend on how good you are. I know of many players that can beat me 100% of the time in certain games, and there are other games I play where if I were to meet a very good player it could boil down to a 50/50.
