And everyone knows that a ninja's top skill is his stealth. Noise accompaniment is a bad idea, in general. If that were the case then I'd be tempted to use the zombie every time. Braaaaaaaains, indeed. I'd be way too easy to beat. No doubt that those under the influence are going to have trouble forming the monkey gesture.

Fire beats rock, paper, and scissors, but is beaten by water. Water loses to everything except fire. The catch is you're only allowed to use Fire once in your life (you can use water as much as you like). Hence, Fire is only pulled out for crucial rock-paper-scissors decisions, which makes getting your only Fire doused by Water all the more crushing Pssh – as any good ultimate player will tell you, the only worthy additions to rock-paper-scissors are fire and water.

I always thought if you added Water, which can beat Fire, but is beaten by all of the original three, you would have a great game. It would add a lot more complexity to game play, but it would be very simple to remember - basically a circle within a circle.
