With the SBR recommended rule set now released, we are going to see a greater standardization in the large and recognized tourneys rules. And if you are willing to abuse the new standard for having the edge in battle, know that you have the right to claim the lower controller port by challenging your opponent to a game of Rock Paper Scissor. Here are some tips chosen by Kent (from the Wired magazine) from The Official Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide:
1. Play paper first. Rookies tend to lead with rock, so paper is the safest opener. (A savvy opponent will try the same, causing a tie.) If you win, claim victory; if not, start the next throw right away, because of course it's two out of three;
2. Exploit copycats. Casual players often switch to the object that just beat them. You can encourage them to do this by shouting, "Paper wins!" when you defeat their rock. Then throw scissors on the next round;
3. Watch for doubles. People rarely throw the same hand three times in a row; if they play scissors twice, your next move is paper. Also, keep up the pace so they have less time to think and instead fall into patterns.
Now you are ready to claim the most insignificant advantage in battle that is rightfully yours.
