Everything is Rock, Paper, Scissors

     Any game can probably be related to Rock, Paper, Scissors.  Let's take the NES classic, Mega Man, for example.



     In Mega Man, you play as a robot boy who's out to stop the evil Dr. Wily and his six Robot Masters

  
     Seems like your typical action platformer, but here's where Rock, Paper, Scissors fits in.  When Mega Man defeats a Robot Master, he gains their power.  Every robot master is weak against another one's power, and since you can choose to fight the robots in any order, the key is to figure out which Robot Master is weak to which power!


     Basically, it's a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors......with ridiculously hard platforming segments.

Fun Fact: In Japan, Mega Man is known as "Rock Man", which is a reference to the Rock, Paper, Scissors mechanic of the bosses and their powers.
