Great Pikmin Fan: No Spock or lizard? speaking of which, I will put a table of what beats what in this game here:
| Unit | Beats | Beaten by | ||
| Rock | Lizard | Sissors | Paper | Spock |
| Paper | Spock | Rock | Sissors | Lizard |
| Sissors | Lizard | Paper | Rock | Spock |
| Lizard | Paper | Spock | Sissors | Rock |
| Spock | Sissors | Rock | Lizard | Paper |
Starscream: Huh. We say it in reverse order in Australia...
Mike Rosoft: When I was a child, I invented the figure "glue" that defeats each of rock, paper, and scissors; when told that it was unfair, I added "solvent" that defeats glue, but is defeated by each of rock, paper, and scissors. (Only recently did I think how fair this variant was, and reached the conclusion that it isn't broken ... but it turns the game into "glue-RPS-solvent", with the original hierarchy serving as just a tiebreaker. That's perhaps why in the "fire and water" variant described here fire can only be used once in the game.)
