This Strategy Breaks "Rock, Paper, Scissors" 

The real MVP

Jimmy's mom has got it going on

Mmm tasty

😂

I gotta be honest though, if Derrick Henry wants to play with me at my house, I'm giving him the best controller. :)

Interesting

I used to do this exact thing. Now I just ask them what they are going to throw.

Came here just to share this same strat!

i used this strategy except i dont actually pick what im gonna say.. alot of the times, people use reverse psychology which ended up on me losing.. I tell them i pick rock, but then pick paper. Telling them that i'll pick rock immediatly imputs to their brains that they shouldn't pick scissors, hence why most people would go for rock or paper. If i pick paper, its either a draw or a win.. most of the time people pick rock because they think that it gives them the less risk. But it ended up making them lose.. I met someone doing your strategy, and whatever option they tell, i'll pick the one that beats it. Lets say they say "I'll pick rock" in advance before playing.. I'll immediatly counter with "Then i'll pick paper" This confuses them and they dont know what to do, but in the end its the same, they will either pick rock risking outsmarting you, or picking paper to have less chance of losing.. Either way whichever they pick, You'll win if you pick paper 70% of the time.

It works for me. I liked the style.

Editing is great, it's a really good explanation. The only nitpick is: ZJC sounds just as clunky to say as Zhijiang Cycle, and it's less informative.

@@chiar0scur0 thanks! And eh yeah it's just a nickname, not terribly important.

Absolutely loved the editing and research quality. One of the only well researched videos on rps on RU-vid. As always, there is always further you can go but you did pretty good.

12:35 Why not go rock here anyway? Cam "knows" to play scissors himself in round 1, so why not counteract it?

That' when you do what Cam did

that's actually one of the recommended psychological strategies that some players will use!

What if you mix the ZJC strategy and this one? Say you’re going paper first, and go paper, than lie/tell the truth on random. Not sure how to prove your own randomness in itself in terms of when you’re lying or not. Would be interesting to do an experiment on how saying you’re going to do a move changes the opponent’s chance of response. And how you should combat that. Would this be more effective than the contemporary ZJC method on its own? Sorry if i confused anyone. Sorry im a year late on this thread

of course this is for casual play

@@tahkky7838 that would work.

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed!

And I'm glad to be making fun stuff again. Thanks for sticking around!

I also prefer donut hand

Thank you!

I think so, too 😂

that would be fun to look at too, involving graph theory and everything

Thanks!

second update: I lost in regionals as in I got SMOKED hahaha

lol nice

Oooof

Glad you enjoyed!

What if all 3 are represented?

what I was thinking is you could just use a computer to randomize for you a sequence of numbers with only the digits 1,2 and 3, and memorize it, and use like, 1 for scissors, 2 for paper and 3 for rock or something. That would be harder the more numbers you need to memorize but would be a simple way to make it 50/50 for you and your opponent no matter how good they might be

@@matheuscabral9618 Well you want to get an edge rather than be 50/50. As being totally random doesn't help you prey on your opponent's lack of randomness. So a combination strategy that allows you to be random when it behooves you, while also being able to use some of the principles laid out in this video to exploit opponents who are exploitable. And to me, using what you said to find a formula of randomly deviating from the strategy laid out in this video so that it's not so easily discernible and beatable. And the most noticeable thing about the strategy in this video is that you will never repeat a move. So having that randomness dictate when you repeat a move instead of playing as the strategy recommends could be just the wrinkle!

thanks!

hope it works out!

well I do mention that in the video. you should watch it!

@@Filet64 sorry 😂😂I commented it not realising u already said it 😂

Yes, using a randomizer would make you impossible to exploit. But it also wouldn't give you any sort of competitive advantage

@@Filet64 i know, but i find it funny that a total noob can completely negate years of practice and experience from a pro by just looking at their watch :D

@@argsgsgsgnngndg9894 that's RPS!

unless the other person, too, has a watch

if its not for 3 win wins youll win

de nada!

you usually play one game? I usually do best 2 of 3

@@Filet64 I see. In soviet russia, it's hystorically is there's only one chance lol

Maybe your parents watched this video before you did?

@@Filet64 damn it i was too late

the strategy is laid out in like 3 minutes and the rest is extra!!!11!1
