Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament | Stephen & Friends

[@Thebrooky12]

"As soon as I flipped the table because I lost, the bananas started following" Sounds like the start of a Broken Picturephone book.

[@jasonnguyen8825]

that sounds like it’s a couple entries in already

[@valhawk]

I'm glad Stephen has embraced his plantsona with his piece.

[@introvertedcosplayer]

Yes!! I also love that this was probably recorded before that disk only episode.

[@sfeng73]

I'm adding this to the list of "videos I did not expect to see yet would expect to see on Stephenplays". It's a list that has Pop-O-Matic trouble on it as well, which to this day I'm not sure if it's entertaining or saddening to see Stephen relive childhood memories of solo Hungry Hungry Hippos.

[@Caprizant]

Memorable Moment, 8:24 to 9:27 - That's what Chaz thought.

[@mr.nerd3.142]

Always bet on rock!

[@YourPalRal]

Alex's victory is a metaphor for attaining victory after hitting rock bottom.

[@Pyronaut_]

11:16 I actually let out a cheer here because I was fully expecting another Rock tie

[@NokioftheStars]

Everyone on Stephen and Friends, simultaneously: "Good 'ol rock, nothing beats that."

[@silverkyre]

"Nothing beats Rock" They were correct, the Rock won The only piece that couldn't die of course he won

[@LunaRayArclight]

This was may more exciting than what I thought it would be

[@ivanfreck1577]

I've said it once and I'll say it again: You can never count out loser's bracket Alex.

[@phiretuck]

Glad to see Mother 3 content come to the channel!

[@CalaCrisp88]

*lump of coal kills tree* "Is this commentary on climate change?"

[@Warclam]

Proof that anything can become exciting, with the addition of a double elimination bracket.

[@TitaniaBird]

I see we've entered the "Random Tabletop Simulator Weirdness" era of Stephen & Friends.

[@StarMiners0416]

- Oh it's Rock, Paper, Scissors! - *sees the Korean 가위 바위 보* - NAH, THIS IS... SCISSORS, PAPER, ROCK (For those curious, 가위 = Scissors (Gah-wi), 바위 = Paper (Bah-wi), 보 = Rock (Boh). This is a shorter version of the full tune, which is "안 내면 진다 가위 바위 보", or "You lose [진다] if you don't do it [안 내면], Rock Paper Scissors [가위 바위 보]".)

[@ahlpym]

12:33 No, there's a 56% chance that someone will play rock (if we assume each choice is random).

[@nishka_w]

Has anyone ever played the splits version of RPS? You stand toe to toe with your opponent. Each time someone loses, they have to take a step back with the foot not connected to the opponent. The RPS continues until someone cannot maintain their split and falls over. I actually pulled a muscle in my leg quite badly doing this in the 2nd grade and had to go to the hospital, so wouldn't recommend if you're not flexible....

[@Pyronaut_]

Funny thing I remembered when Stephen brought up that only the girls were left in the winner’s bracket. I read part of a RPS Study before. If I remember right one thing they found was that men were on average more likely to lead off with rock than the other two options. While I think women had a closer to even spread but slightly favored paper.

[@Pyronaut_]

I know it was accidental but I really like the bold strategy Emmy seemed to occasionally consider of playing all 3 options at the same time XD

[@sharoncummens5023]

Adding "whims of fate/ life will change" in background was good. Really adds to the atmosphere.

[@Arion661]

I want an encore of this. Also Emmy's strat was top tier, man

[@DevNode27]

Truly amazing that they managed to get twenty minutes' worth of good content out of a Rock Paper Scissors tournament

[@twitchyswitchy433]

“ Norhing can beat rock!” Paper: NANI?!?!

[@flanysong6872]

I love that its korean rock paper scissors (or "scissors rock paper")

[@aparks1437]

12:00 *shows paper first, then scissors* .. funny because mal and hailey are both into arts and crafts

[@lyric939]

Woah, it says scissor, rock, paper on the backs in Korean

[@Pyronaut_]

This video was so much more hype than I was honestly expecting. I’m too tired and want to sleep right now, but I’m tempted to go back through this and compile and put all the matches into a spreadsheet to extract data tomorrow.

[@QuadraCh]

So when’s rock, paper and scissors e-sports league?

[@bc2014]

I admit I actually installed an app on my phone last week which is tournament rock paper scissors with prizes for the winner. I am doing very poorly.

[@Nickster891]

9:08 the moment when stephen forgets that PAPER BEATS ROCK XD

[@hallaloth3112]

Okay, so seriouy now.. .First Bowling. . . Then Golf. . . than Pong. . .now we're watching Rock Paper Scissors tabletop? I swear you're trolling and just trying to find the most bizarre games in tabletop to see if we'll watch them (and yes, we are. ..and its AMAZING).

[@elleyshark6180]

Dont forget Trouble!

[@Jesscaaaa0]

Why was this one of the best videos ever lol. Gosh i love you ALL!

[@nanowasabi4421]

I approve of the Octopath Traveler music.

[@JasonRogue]

You've got my attention, never ever seen this before.

[@okamibattleblock1301]

Now THIS is content!!

[@FiveTrenchcoats]

Ah yes. The only tabletop game more luck-based than 1k Blank White Cards: rock paper scissors. And it is somehow still entertaining content.

[@spriddlez]

Why is this so legitimately entertaining =O

[@BlameThande]

Video game rock paper scissors, what an unusual and unexpected concept ... I would say, if I didn't grow up playing Alex Kidd on the Master System :p

[@SuperTeeter64]

This is the true game of 2020. Thank you Stephen & Friends.

[@morgancrabtree6248]

I know of another version of rock paper scissors. It's called bear hunter princess. Hunter you make a finger gun bear you put hands up like claws and for princess you put your fingers on your forehead in the shape of a triangle. Bear beats princess, princess beats hunter, and hunter beats bear.

[@morgancrabtree6248]

I said for the princess hand gesture you put your fingers on your forehead but I meant at the top of your head and I just realized this. Also I'm too lazy to edit my original comment.

[@queenofglitch]

I think one of the Mario Parties did something like this, if you take "bear" to mean "Bowser" and "hunter" to mean "Mario".

[@morgancrabtree6248]

@@queenofglitch Huh. I don't remember seeing any rock paper scissors like stuff in mario party.

[@queenofglitch]

@@morgancrabtree6248 The memory I can see in my mind's eye, I think it's... the duel game in Bowser Land in Mario Party 2.

[@morgancrabtree6248]

@@queenofglitch That actually makes sense and I wouldn't be surprised.

[@babassoonist557]

Very bold of this anime to kill of one of its main characters first

[@martingriff101]

8:05 Oh no I am dead for real. Man this games has got real from when I played 9:10 Nothing beats Rock??? Paper says "Am I joke to you"

[@spriddlez]

Yes... because it was a joke =P

[@martingriff101]

because why not

[@ShallBePurified]

If you ever play Yu-Gi-Oh, you know that you always should be shuffling your hand.

[@heavenchai]

you gotta do 2 out of three at least because that's where you get into mind games and psyching your opponent out, provided the players don't just let the game play itself, in which case, why even do it

[@fuschiawarrior2159]

Nice video

[@Madmushroom64]

What on earth...? 😂

[@spacetoaster7675]

If I had that many friends that would probably be super fun.

[@unnameablename]

But why though

[@kaytiewinter7889]

Can stephen and friends play among us?

[@MisterAppleEsq]

They're going to!
