cut the 1 pins go for pinfu ipekou possible tanyao if you draw another 6

depends on the board

If you do not know exactly what kind of hand and yaku you're going for, don't call anything. Calling something commits you to a certain hand.

If you have a specific yaku in mind then you can open your hand, if you don't then you shouldn't.
90% of the time, you shouldn't.

I'll admit that I'm pretty new still, but it seems like only stuff that will get you a yaku is really worth calling, like prevailing or seat winds or dragons are easy ones.

Abandon the 6sou pair at least.

I'm going to kan every chance I get to ruin the game for everyone and no one can stop me

>try to login to the JP client
>asks me for a new username
why

I would discard a 1 pin and hope to draw a 2 or 4 later to complete the sequence and go for a iipeikou, pinfu or tanyao depending on the draws later on.
Depends.
Do you want a quick hand, even if it won't bring you much points? Probably yes.
Are you dealer? Probably yes.
Do you just want to get into tenpai to avoid the noten penalty? Probably yes.
Do you want to keep as many tiles in your hand so you can discard safer tiles? Then no.
Do you think you might draw the tiles you need later on yourself to increase your hand value or press the free sex button? Probably yes.
Don't press it if you don't know whether or not it'll bring you into furiten.

does mahjong soul have the rule where you can ron niggas when they add the tile you need to an open kan?

I keep hearing this "You have to press a button to make riichi option appear" explaination but that's just not true.
I've had riichi before due to pure luck and I didn't understand it and it just gives you the option like for everything else.
Here's a video, it just shows up exactly the way it would for a chi or tsumo or everything else.

In the meantime you have these luckshitters having the time of their life as they riichi 3 turns in repeatedly. Funny thing I was tied for second place on one of the last matches and was scored on third regardless.

Can't be the only feeling like trying to use your brain will still only get you to second / third with a minimal point difference.

You're probably just playing shit. Show a replay if you're so confident that you're playing optimally.

Is there a way to get the uncensored chink art

A lot of times yes. If you can get it you get it but don't rule out toitoi for it or anything like that.

7 pairs is really slow and not worth many points, don't actively aim for it

it's very slow. it's usually better to keep your options open if you have only 4 pairs. if you pick up a fifth then you can go for it. if you're seeing 3 pairs and thinking 7 pairs you've lost your mind.

Is this game free

no

yes if you're a plebeian

Playing mahjong is free, getting a new waifu not so free.

People are hungry for not-Janryumon you tourists wouldn't understand.

if they play bad then just play solid, don't deal in to riichi or obvious big open hands and just one decent value hand will basically guarantee second or higher.

I've played an East Game but it went all the way to South 3, what gives? Where can I learn those finer rules?

If nobody is above a set limit (probably 30k points) the rounds keep going until somebody is.

someone needs 30k or higher for game to end.

Truth to be told this is better than JRM in just about every aspect.

There's a minimum clear score so if everyone was still sub 30k the game keeps going.

sudden death rule. Insta end once someone is 30k.

Someone redpill me on this game; I see it mentioned everywhere here on Yea Forums but it doesn't look as shilly as other threads.
Why the fuck is everyone obsessed with Mahj all of the sudden, is the gameplay actually fun and are there good waifus ?

Attached: 1539780403860.gif (475x475, 57K)

I really need to hammer it in already that identical sequences is closed only and it doesn't work like 3 concealed triplets. I've made the mistake many times now, and I feel like that one yaku alone having its own rules is why this thread is full of other newcomers also making the "half-open" questions. Just in my latest game:
>Choice between ron on red dragon only, or pon and furiten wait on 1-4 Man
>Do pon because I had 12233 and got greedy
And the dumb part is I won anyway. Got tsumo off the 4 afterwards.

>shill threads consistently reaching the bump limit and lobbies filling up within a minute or two
yeah, shilling

>Why the fuck is everyone obsessed with Mahj all of the sudden
because weebs
>are there good waifus ?

yeah mahjong is fun.

We are supposed to get fat events sometimes like Chinese had on their moon New Year with lots of give aways. Now if it's true then it's perfect.

>falling in rank
>no real progression in this game if you can't get out of beginner rooms

I really wish this game was better, playing ranked just makes me want to die.

i'd say it's fun and the tutorial actually teaches you the very basics pretty well
waifus are okay, but it's definitely more mahjong than gacha, they're really expensive
also onee-chan > dumb cat

Same thing happends to me constantly.
Don't despair user.

There's actually a lot of mahjong players around here. Some of us were waiting for the English version of this game to come out, I guess since it's in English it got some extra attention.

Grinding rank is a raw numbers game, you'll eventually be where you should be with enough games but on the moment to moment you can get good and bad streaks.

Just think of it as being too easy if it were open and remember it that way.

the better you are the less variance will be a factor getting out of beginner rooms but if you put enough volume in you will get ot eventually regardless of your skill level. just keep at it user.

I've played Mahj on and off for the past couple of years, mostly as a way to kill time on my phone, but I guess I'll take this game a bit more seriously since apparently there's waifus, a rank system and some variety to it.

>waifus
>s
You people disgust me.

There is 9 sou in your discard.

Furiten doesn't mean you've got no yaku. Furiten means the tile you can win off is in your discards. You have a legal hand with 4m so you might as well keep it here, especially since 9s looks safe.

You already threw away a 9 you can't win with 9

Kaiji season 3 when?

Furiten is when you discard a tile that would have been a winning tile. You already discarded a 9s which you could win with now, hence furiten.

You can still win with that tile while you're in Furiten. You just have to draw it naturally, you can't Ron an opponent

You discarded the 9bamboo earlier, it's in your pond right now.
That means the tile you wait for to win can't be a 9bamboo, that's what furiten means.
That's how the game works, you read the ponds to see what tiles are safe. The enemy can discard 9bamboo tiles cause they know you can't be waiting for that.

If you're in furiten you can win by tsumo though.

Fuck that, akagi season 2 when?

You discarded a 9s 2 turns ago

Furiten and no yaku are different states. That's furiten because you already discarded a 9 sou, forbidding you from calling ron on them. You can still win with it but only tsumo.
There's only one of them left anyway, and keeping the 4 is a half-flush on top.

The fuck is this attack def shit. I thought this was mahjong. Not an rpg.

You can get gifts from chests in silver rank or above, which you sell for dust. Use dust for rolls.

The exchange rate is shit. Don't expect to roll anything.

It's just flavor, it doesn't actually do anything.

Different servers are different websites. English is the one most here play on. Though I believe the matchmaking is shared with China or the Chinks mass migrated to the English one, and at higher ranks with Japan as well based on what some anons have said.

Just numbers based on the hands you've played

Server is dependent on which website you signed up on. Friendly match has crossplay on all servers.

Ranked has crossplay between us and CN, JP is separate until gold and higher.

And that would be this one?

It's only a play style profile based on past performance, so you can check how your opponents usually do. For example someone with low ATK, high SPD is much more likely going to go for quick trash, so don't bother trying for complex hands or exhaust draws.

I think it's just stats based on how you play, it's just fun to look at to be honest.

Yes, that's the right one.

It's not, however it tends to be something you have to decide from the start. From there, it's calculating the odds of drawing dupes vs not. Not only that, but it tends to be a low score hand unless you get some dora and it's an unreliable riichi if you wait on a non honor or terminal.

There's been like 6 versions of it and they're all already out. Unless they've just announced a 7th that I'm not aware of

If you had discarded Chun instead of 7m, you'd have
123m, 234m, 99m (pair) completed
And the remaining incomplete 3-5-7m and 5-6p
Your wait would be more flexible (4m, 6m, 4p, 7p) with no useless tile instead of what you had in the screenshot (4m, 4p, 7p) and Chun as a useless tile.
It's a basic efficiency.

I hate that they took Saki's cheat mechanic from "she's really good at getting an exact score amount" to "LMAO RINSHAN". I think the entire manga is way more interesting if Saki's role in the captain's seat is maintaining the lead that the rest of her team creates rather than spamming ridiculous kan nonsense.

>ronya!

B-But muh Iipeikou

How do you grind for characters?

Unless your waifu is Cat or Nee-san. Then it's just the pain of grinding a million years for gifts.

Ah yes, I forgot that 1m was also your wait.
But you should've discarded Chun anyway since you can still aim for Iipekou if god wills it.

Why would you go for kukoshi musho when you only have a single orphan?

Gacha expensive gift $$$ small gift is worthless.

/tg/ doesn't care about mahjong, tried before.
I actually tried to organize a cross board team mahjong game on tenhou, Saki style, with all teams starting at 100k. Got some people from /u/, Yea Forums, /jp/ but /tg/'s team was basically people from Yea Forums saying 'well I might as well play for /tg/, I browse it a bit'. Game didn't happen in the end because it was hard to schedule with 20 people (or to get 20 people to begin with).

Thanks for supporting the English servers. I'm probably going to cave in soon too.

I'm so sorry, user.

Get the biker chick instead

Lemme give some tips for all you new players. You'll thank me later.

-If you care about your ranking, not being in the last place is way, way, WAY more important than winning games. Online mahjong is not about winning, but not losing.
-Tonpuusen (East only matches) are extremely luck-dependent compared to hanchans (East + South). Start playing hanchans as soon as you feel confident about knowing the rules.
-If you enjoy games with crazy yakumans, fast pacing, and almost no low scoring open hands, play Sanma (3P Mahjong). 4P mahjong is a less flashy, more strategic and more defense-oriented game.
-Open toitoi (all pons) hands are almost never worth it. Don't go for them. It feels cool to go "PON! PON! PON!" in quick succession but at the end you'll be left with a crappy wait and almost non-existent defensive options.

if you're opening your hand somewhere between 25-35% of the time you're probably at a good number. don't go super hard the other way and never open.

Try building your hands more user, 2k tanyaos won't get you nowhere. Try remembering the basic yaku.

When will I start developing an eye for long-con yakus, right now it feels like I'm just reacting to what I'm dealt every turn and sitting there building my trash hands to riichi'ing to wins that are only ever worth anything thanks sheer luck with doras or some yaku I was probably not even cognizant of when I was building my hand

I love weird quirks that develop around luck. Fifteen years of playing warhammer have already taught me that luck very much exists and some people really do have it.

Practice by yourself. Learn to recognize potential in your opening hands. Study the yaku sheet and stare at your hand until you can identify possible big hands from the shit you start with.

aaaa jesus fucking christ
connection dropped for half the game, couldn't do shit.

You're currently playing like a chinese bugman attacking constantly with calls and neglecting defense. Don't just toss out the dora midgame for example, greedy fuckers like me can wait on them for more points.

I don't think so. I don't remember head bump being in tenhou or JRM.

Nyaggers don't even know what defending is.

kek I got d/c for some reason

My second hand was a potential honitsu sanankou with seat wind and dragon. 4 pairs from the start and I drew the dragon and another pair. And then I just got NOTHING, couldn't even turn it into a chiitoitsu, nobody was discarding my wind, it was a nightmare.

I am a coward that only plays with the AI

Outskilled

If you watch the replay you'd notice people start mirroring the discards of the dangerous guy or copy the discard of a previous player, that's babby's first defense.

Fuck that was crazy. Never give up hope Anons. A good hand or two and you can go from last to first.

If somebody has three open pons of winds do NOT discard the wind he doesnt have unless you wanna get fisted by a yakuman.

new thread

There's no better feel than going from 4th in East 4 to 1st by over 10k lead in South 4

that was fast

I noticed, wanted to give you four winds for funzies but it wasn't to be.

I'm even having trouble understanding what you mean.

>You're currently playing like a chinese bugman attacking constantly with calls and neglecting defense
How do I defend then? The short tutorial is hardly comprehensive.

>Don't just toss out the dora midgame for example
Dora are the tiles at the top left? Forgot those even existed. They increase your han, right?

That was intentional.
