      I like to think it’s just the same logic as that old stick vs 1,000 US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.

      Anyway it’s not like paper beats rock has a whole lot of reasoning behind it

        This is why I prefer Ninja-Hunter-Bear

        Ninja beats hunter

        Hunter beats bear

        Bear beats ninja

        There’s full body actions that go with it, but this is text.

        I’ve never heard of it either. I’m no swordsman. But Mulan is definitely throwing Stick.

          okay sure, but that wins you the round if you picked paper and I picked rock? That’s paper beating rock. That it does this by “covering” the rock doesn’t really clear anything up
