	'''Rock paper scissors''' is a hand game of [[China\|Chinese]] and [[Japan]]ese origin. The basis is that two players at an agreed upon signal hold their playing hand out in one of three forms: fist (rock), index finger and middle finger extended (scissors), and all fingers extended (paper). Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock, so there are nine possible outcomes to a round, of which six result in a winner and three result in a tie.

	The gameplay of the ''[[3D Battle-Card Game]]'' largely follows the principles of rock paper scissors. Players choose one of three colored attacks secretly, then both players reveal their choices at the same time. If the opposing player's color matches the target color of the attack, damage is recorded and any special effects occur. Special effects include extra damage, transformation, and changing distance from an opponent. If both players pull the same colors twice, the player with a lower health scores a critical attack, which does extra damage and sometimes includes a powerful special effect.

			[[Railspike (RID)\|J-Five]] and [[Rapid Run (RID)\|J-Seven]] congratulated each other on a job well done by giving each other a thumbs-up. Mistaking this for a game of rock paper scissors, [[Midnight Express (RID)\|J-Four]] held out his hand in paper position. He got shouted down for it, but didn't learn his lesson and answered his teammates' next victory's thumbs-up with his hand held out in scissors position. The reaction was the same and again it did nothing to educate J-Four. After yet another success, he held up his pinky to J-Five and J-Seven and they gave him thumbs-up in return, which made him think he'd lost rock paper scissors. {{storylink\|The Secret of the Ruins\|Gigatron's Raid!}}
