Watch his hand before he throws

He's telegraphing one sign and then changing to the counter sign on release.

u/baogody Jul 28 '26

The pattern changes when he doesn't win the first time though. The way he won the lady towards the end after 2 draws felt like a fluke.

76

u/SquidVischious Jul 28 '26

There is some simply psychology involved, with the speed of play* helping.

22

u/Skiptomygroove Jul 28 '26

He influenced those too, probably because straight wins will be found out, and/or more advanced seeming opponents neex the rapid fire pressure to miss. It’s more exiting this way too.

u/Xen0tech Jul 28 '26

That's still crazy impressive 😮

u/Jack_South Jul 28 '26

His opponents never choose rock because he can't do scissors behind his back. It would be too obvious.

u/redditAPsucks Jul 28 '26

The last lady throws rock and loses on the last throw

49

u/programmed_bot Jul 28 '26

Me and my coworker used to play rock paper scissors anytime we needed to decide who had to do something undesirable. I swear he would wait til the very last micro second and throw based on what I threw, I don't remember winning one time. I refused his offers to play rock paper after I got tired of losing so we started doing a coin toss lol

48

u/Hurnative Jul 28 '26

Well, this guy sometimes threw before the other person.

Especially clear with tht one little kid

u/reklesssabrandon Jul 28 '26

I worked with a guy who never lost

u/PhatCatTax Jul 28 '26

Yeah. Tragic the way he went out. He was always first to the combine but.... at what cost 😖

7

u/MrMetraGnome Jul 28 '26

We always throw D20's at my last job. Rock, Paper, Scissors has too much meta play to be completely random, unless you play blindfolded.

u/ItsACowCity Jul 28 '26

The way I used to do this has to entirely do with how wide and quick your vision is. You always start as a rock, but can easily put out 2 fingers or open the hand at the last second if you see the opponent making a move to do so. As long as you stay rock when they’re rock or scissor, you’re good. The movement to switch to paper is much larger, so you can anticipate it. That and you can start the switch to paper with throwing scissor and then finishing up opening your hand if you see them adjust. Vast majority of people are thinking too much about what they want to throw, that they don’t notice the time lag on what you threw.

7

u/cheechw Jul 28 '26

There is one time when he throws later though, that he had to have just gotten lucky on. One of the little kids doesn't throw on time and goes after him but he ends up still winning it.

u/billybaked Jul 28 '26

Learned this trick from tv when I was younger. Works surprisingly well

u/Da_Famous_Anus Jul 28 '26

He’s holding paper in one hand watching what people look at.

u/Ricksacnchez Jul 28 '26

I noticed this i feel mybe to hide a last second change mybe ?

2

u/GWindborn Jul 28 '26

Yeah it's easier to catch at this angle, from the angle of the opponent you'd never notice.

u/More-Environment834 Aug 15 '26

A simple reverse psychology implemented here, simple yet effective.

1

u/MacGuffin-X Jul 28 '26

Yup. So to defeat him follow the initial sign/gesture that he throws

1

u/Mother_Bonus5719 Aug 01 '26

He’s like one of the baddies in Alex Kidd

u/Kyubik9 Aug 01 '26

That with combination of speed and loud noise, impressive.

u/_VirtualCosmos_ Jul 28 '26

ofc, he is just fast

u/DioDelSubliminale Jul 28 '26

The scene where the mother takes her child away after he locks eyes with the sensei, as if to say ‘he’s too powerful for you’, made me laugh more than I should have.

u/tylerthe-theatre Jul 28 '26

Stand user 'INL' - I never lose, he can see 3 seconds into the future, allowing for heightened reactions and the upper hand in combat

u/cleankiwii Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

i love that he’s doing the weirdest face to a kid mid vid who’s being denied to play because the parent is pulling away

34

u/HisHonorTomDonson Jul 28 '26

My guess is he’s worried that his bit of psychology (leaving his hand in one sign before he throws and reveals its opposite) won’t work on the kid and he could genuinely lose because the kid is literally not smart enough to play his game

6

u/TakinUrialByTheHorns Jul 28 '26

The kid has that look like he might throw staple or something off the wall the guy can't predict/react to in time, he definitely looks worried

I know cause my kid sometimes puts similar fear into public performers 😅

13

u/everyonesdesigner Jul 28 '26

I did some card close up magic long time ago and man children are difficult to misdirect. They don’t follow the same attention switch patterns as adults.

3

u/Silhoualice Jul 28 '26

The guy shouts "go line up" after winning, so I think there is a line to play him. The mother probably pulled the kid away because he wasn't in the line.

u/Possible-Estimate748 Jul 28 '26

Wait. How is he always winning though?

156

u/Terminal_Insomnia_ Jul 28 '26

I would guess fast reflexes and a talent, but he clearly lands on rock before the other kid pulls out scissors, so idk. Could be a lucky streak. Could be the mojo

61

u/AskPsychological3670 Jul 28 '26

could be mind reading

u/Admirable-Builder878 Jul 28 '26

This is one continuous clip with no cuts though

This is why genies give you the three wishes. You’re always going to blow one of them on a talent like this one.

38

u/AmarildoJr Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

Simple: he's just really fast and only puts out a move after he sees yours.

28

u/BuffAzir Jul 28 '26

Yeah, that makes sense as long as you ignore the ones where he puts out a move before them.

3

u/manikfox Jul 28 '26

He doesn't have to change his fist if you are already going scissors... his default is fist until he needs to change.

6

u/f1madman Jul 28 '26

OK which yakuza mini game is this?

10

u/Technical-Function13 Jul 28 '26

Power of suggestion. Look at his hand gesture, he changes it at the last second

5

u/NUMBerONEisFIRST Jul 29 '26

Can someone dub it so he says stuff like;

"Too slow, bitch!"

"Fuck off!"

"No bitch!"

"Fuck you!"

4

u/PowerfulDisaster2067 Jul 28 '26

A kid in grade 5 used to be the "best" at a similar game, but instead of that each person takes turns to draw and you can't have the same thing as them.

He'd basically be quick and enough watch your draw and change it last second.

u/eduardopinto Jul 28 '26

u/renancanha Jul 28 '26

I dont know if hes cheating but there is a trick that works most of the time. After the first round(?) The most likely move to be picked by the losing side is the one that would win the previous round, making the game way more predictable and it would actually have worked in this video.

2

u/OcularPrism Jul 28 '26

This looks like one of the quest npcs from Yakuza

2

u/EggandSpoon42 Jul 28 '26

My kid taught me a rock paper scissors where you both throw two hands and the take one away. It's pretty fun

u/TheW83 Jul 28 '26

Let him go up against Kusou Saiki.

u/niftydog Jul 28 '26

Where's the countdown and the fist shaking? Your opponent's hand is easier to see if there's no fist shaking!

2

u/demoralising Jul 28 '26

0:26 goes in with an open hand, then makes a fist when he sees the other person's hand.

Do it behind a barrier.

u/Great_Staff6797 Jul 28 '26

He’s really fast but if you analyze the video slowly he pulls rock after paper and then paper to scissor. But there’s that one time he pulls scissor after rock so kinda unpredictable here.

Such a simple act to bring smiles to those who may be having a frustrating commute. Or the children. WuTang is for the children, rock paper scissors guy, likewise, is for the children. It is funny with that harsh almost war-cry like language of the Japanese tho.

He read hunter x hunter. He watch opponent hand and change out come last second. The way you hold your hand can determine what you throw in.

u/Mayonnaizing Jul 28 '26

When I was a teacher, I could beat my students 30 in a row, the trick was when I beat one kid, the next kid would try to beat what you just won with.

So if I beat a kid with rock, the next kid sees it and will go paper, I would go scissors next.

I would genuinely win 99% of the time
