I think Daigo was confused because he was unfamiliar with the "pound-pound-throw" method commonly used in American Rock Paper Scissors - compare it to a variation of Japanese Jan Ken Po, where they quickly pump their fist back once, then throw.
I'm sure if you dropped Daigo in America, he'd adapt and learn that region's English in 2 out of 3 "culture-shock" situations. He'll struggle in the first one but overcome it, will completely screw up the second one, then will adjust and be completely fine by the third. All speaking good English and stuff.
It is no coincidence that his link timing is impeccable in fighting games. He doesn't even need to shake the rock-paper-scissor rhythm - HE JUST KNOWS.
Haha, in Peru we play Jan Ken Po the same as the Japenese. We rock our hands twice, and the third movement we choose rock, paper, or scissors. We spell it Yankempo because of pronunciation.
Everybody in the world as in everybody in USA? Lol, go back to your rock ignorant american.
It's spelled everybody not every body, Peru isn't a jungle, 50% of it is a desert. Go study some geography boy, and make some use of your mediocre education.
This is just total sillyness. Why would a grown man go and ask Daigo to play rock papaer scissors. Of all things! I can't believe Daigo was nice enough to waste his time playing a 5 year old's game. Is that the best he can come up with. What in the world was he thinking?
Romeo starts it as American RPS, but adjusts to Daigo's Japanese Jankenpon style of play (in which they usually just throw their hand, rather than pounding it on the other palm). This is why Daigo seemed confused after the first round. But, yes, in Japan, this style of Jankenpon would be the functional equivalent of American RPS. They just play it a bit differently in Japan.
daigo did paper vs. romeo's rock in the first round didn't count, cuz romeo didn't expect to show anything on the first pound, they were both kinda confused.
They play it slightly differently in Japan. They don't pound their fist on the other palm. Usually, they say さいしょはぐ (First, rock!), then throw it on 'じゃんけんぽん. But it seems Daigo does it silently. Perhaps a part of his mindgames?
Daigo had no idea what the fuck to do
