Technique
Against a perfectly random opponent nothing beats throwing randomly yourself. People are not random, though - the common tendencies are to open with rock and to switch after losing, so the edge comes from noticing a pattern before your opponent notices you have.
Match format
- Choose the match length when creating the lobby.
- Rounds resolve simultaneously, so neither player can see the other’s choice first.
