The Paper move typically is one, two, three, shoot. And it's delivered like this. A lot of players deliver sloppy Paper, which I call the "Tiger Claw," where they'll release it, one, two, shoot, like this. And if a player does that, you can see the Paper coming from a mile away, cut them down to size, it's not a big deal. Again, a lot of people will deliver Paper palm-up. It's kind of almost an insulting move. It takes a little bit longer. It's a little flashier. And by throwing a Paper like this, you're insinuating that the opponent is slow enough that you can beat them with Paper that they have more time to spot. So it's kind of a cockier, more arrogant move. But the standard most people play, I'd say 90 percent of the time, is palm-down Paper.
