[@finnfinity9711]

sounds like a joke but it's true. Because of the order of the options in the name, unexperienced players might be more likely to choose an option depending on their position in that order. In german scissors is the first one in the order, that's why noobs use it pretty often at the start of a set, since they choose the first thing that comes to their mind. Since it's the first in line it's the first thing that comes to their mind

This is hilarious, but there is a nagging fear in the back of my mind that it is being done without irony.

[@dinospumoni663]

It is being done without irony. Believe it or not there is a high skill cap to this game, based mostly on pattern recognition, self-randomization, and reading tells.

[@amerikagaijin]

@George Henry nope, my answer was 3. But that's not random, thats my favorite number. It would only appear random to someone who doesnt know me. If I was famous or you knew me some other way and I said 3 anyway you could have predicted it.

[@heavyturtle-3268]

George Henry id just like to point out, your arguing in the Rock Paper Scissors Championship comments section.

@George Henry point is you assume people you don't even know from the yt chat comment would pick 7 because its lucky. But some people have other lucky numbers like 3.

This is actually more in depth then you may realise, The point of Rock Paper Scissors is that you need to read your opponents mind, Its about looking at facial expressions, Predicting, Or calling out bluffing, This game is just like poker or even chess

[@DavidKlausa]

Perhaps. But it would take hundreds, even thousands, of trials to distinguish someone's ability to do this, beyond chance.

[@jasonbernard5468]

You're right. And luck is way less of a factor than other games. It's about as close as you can get to a pure mind game. People dismiss it but it's a mistake.

[@gaiseric9518]

The athleticism from Julie is truly unbelievable.

[@podfunk]

"I cannot believe what I'm seeing here!" ...my thoughts exactly.

[@Zephrinth]

Tbh, Julie actually threw. She could have made him think that she was going to keep throwing scissors, and threw rock in the last round. Because he’d most likely either throw rock (to counter the scissors) or throw scissors to tie. Because of that, rock was the safest option, leading to either a tied round or a win. Or, if she was feeling extra risky with a hard read, she could’ve thrown paper to counter his rock (which he was most likely to play to counter her scissors) But of all things, throwing scissors in the last round was definitely the worst play. The chances of him throwing paper after she threw so many scissors was super low, and thats the only hand she could’ve won against. Overall, big throw from Julie and I can’t believe I wasted my time typing all of this out. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[@ShikaiShinobi]

On god though

[@anonymous385]

If you watch, she throws 4 straight Scissors then switches to rock right before the last throw while I threw 3 straight paper. Of her 4 Scissors, she went 3-1 then switched to rock and lost. In that moment, I knew she likely would go back to Scissors as they were her winners. She hadn't been throwing any paper so I agree, rock was my best option. She even said in later interviews she knew I'd go rock but couldn't get herself to throw paper which was likely her best bet given I was paper heavy and it would help push a tie.

[@testbildmuc]

if you think about it, there's probably quite a lot of psychological skill involved if you want to succeed at a high level: It's about getting into your opponents skin and predicting how he thinks. You have to out-bluff peopl, kind of like poker only without math and chance. That said, this IS a pretty stupid thing to watch on TV. Also all the people drinking bud light in the background are embarassing

[@thenameis_TAI]

Oh you could just wing it like the rest of us. If you don't know what your thinking how will the opponent know. IT'S AN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN.

[@Famously5518]

Also why is the score setup like that it sooo dumb?? Like the score should be points(wins/losses) and ties

[@kuel-dude7458]

It’s an advertisement

[@benshaffer9915]

Why is it so intense

[@DavidKlausa]

I might reason that in a high-pressure situation like the last throw, the opponent is more likely to throw Rock, since it is the least effort, so Paper would often be the winning move. I feel there could be some deep psychology behind the strategy, but to reliably analyze and execute in the moment is dubious, so you may as well fall back to trying to be random.
