Yes, that's called Tsumo.

say that to me in maajan and not online and see what happens
I just took the first thing I thought of because I was in a match

Legit made an edit of the Virgin/Chad template, good shit.

Sometimes trying to win is not worth exposing yourself to loss. You have to learn to fold and not get hit by big dick hands. Basic defense is you can't be ronned with any tile the tenpai player has already discarded so if you play tiles that match their pond they 100% can't ron you.

which girls we should be using for virgin and chad then?

I just learned how to play 2 hours ago. Play nice. 98903

They'll drop the game the moment they realize they need basic knowledge of the game.

you're like the cliché of the fighting game player who you hit over and over with weak long low damage moves who gets mad and gives all his health away for free even though you weren't actually doing much.

>Now gachafags will think they're welcome here.
That's a good thing, the english servers need to get funded somehow

getting gachafags to play real games is a vital public service. baiting them in is morally good.

I wouldn't miss a non toitoi agari tile though. rip

is there any way to grind out cute girls without having to pay

if you're going to be a bitch about losing then don't que for a game

one more!

You get copper for winning in silver and higher which you can use to buy stuff that will eventually let you roll. This however takes fucking forever so don't count on it.
Also you lose copper for losing.

grind to higher skill level, unlock boxes and get dust
then you play for ten billion years

I just wanted to end it fast.

Good tips man, thank you. I'll try to keep it in mind.
Are there any good way of estimating when someone is in tenpai when they have part (or all) of their hand concealed?

I would like to be hazed more so I get punished properly and learn, but I will probably just bore you big dick japs.

I'm going out on top, boys. Remember me as a champion.

literally the first post in the thread

Probably like 30 games or something like that. I lost count after having a dozen games last less than 4 rounds since chinks love going for quick and dirty hands.

Iirc somebody said it was like 40 and 60 or 60 and 80, so tonpuusen is technically better if you can put up with it

riichi should be used in Army. Such pain in the ass game.

I'm saying I'm a retard for missing that

Great call, quit while you're ahead, that way you won't find out that the times you started with a good hand were exceptions, and that almost all the times you'll get shitty hands like 1 3 9 man, 2 7 9 pin 4 7 sou and two winds that aren't yours and some meme dragons. Riichi is torture.

No idea how this would work, actually. You don't have enough cards:
4 Suits of Ace to 9 for the numbers, then the other 3 cards could be the dragons...but you'd still be missing 4x4 cards for the winds

>always pons winds, not because they add value to his hand but to assert his dominance on other players
Seen this happen like eight times, it's fucking retarded. Nigga, that's not your wind, nor a round wind. You're not going to pull a yakuman three wind melds.

Just being adept is enough to make me ~560 among all English players.

I don't think you can de-rank, you can lose enough bronze though that you can't afford to play silver or above I guess
In that case you can use the revive tokens, seemed to be free for everybody, and dailies to earn copper to play

not sure if you can derank from expert back to adept, but you definitely can't derank from adept to novice

That's what you deserve for paying for shit.

they accumulate for 3 days

yes, you can store up to 3

What if I reach Expert and then get losing streak until I run out of copper to play? I'm limited to play with revival token? since I won't be able to play in Bronze room.

What's a revive token?

Can you play on phone ?

>rons you for 1k every round and will immediately disconnect if he gets knocked out 1st place

made me lol

If you have under 4800 copper you can claim free 4800 once per day

They have ios and gp versions coming

Phone browser worked fine for me

Token and dailies in friendly matches, I guess
Just don't lose, lol

App version soon, but you can run the web version on a phone just fine, it even turns sideways and makes discards double tap on a phone.

You could always pay.
Buy copper for $15 and you have enough for 360/258 east/south games in the absolute worst case (lose all games with the maximum loss possible, never do any daily quests).

Also...does the revival token amount increase as you go up in ranks?

yes is the same to the pc version

The game should not allow you to not be able to play because you run out of copper after buying items. It's a shit game design.

this should be OP

if you are in last place and its the final round
you can at least go for bigger hand for a come back
I mean if you were in the first place and try to stuff a comeback then sure but not the other way around

CN serv is around for months

Nah, I didn't blow all my copper on random trash like you, retard, I still have plenty left

I appreciate that you assume I know the value of any hand, thank you.

At least you got something out of it. Everything is so barebones AND complicated, wtf indeed

What about jade and throne room?

I had a feeling you were aiming for kokushi like 2 times. So this is it.

Even then, you get enough money to play multiple games each day from revival tokens and quests. That should be enough for a free game

why is your entire screen tinted green

Wait a minute, do you need to spend some copper to play this game and have to pay with real life currency if you run out of copper? I hope that's not the case, I like my free plays.

Y-yeah go get to it now, with all the nips around.

Do you pon someone on literally the first turn, when you start with already 2 Dragontiles?

>defending greedy pay to play system
you should be able to play AND buy stuff, but go ahead and keep being a corporate chuck.

If you don't have any super obvious yaku in the rest of your hand, yeah.

good ending!

Yes, I'll also hold onto a dragon for the entire game if it 2 of them haven't been dropped already since I usually wind up drawing it otherwise.

Tell me about the bonds mechanic, oh waifufags who paid. What's the increase in the hearts or whatever it is you need to fill up? Exponential?

You lose copper in 3rd and 4th place in Silver and above
You win copper in 1st and 2nd place
You get welfare copper daily if you're low enough, daily quests also proved copper that you can do in friendly games

it's a bitch ass nigga play but yes

Only if you're gonna need to call more tile to win or can make a toitoi.

Can you guys maybe like fuck off to /vg/?

my graphic card is broken

You win that stuff for free in chests anyway, retard, and it's gacha game, if you want your waifu shit, pay up like a good goy, otherwise just play mahjong

>You get welfare copper daily if you're low enough
So, you can actually use coppers for the level up stuff without worrying too much?

Mahjong is too niche to survive on /vg/ besides new games are allowed threads for weeks.

This game isn't for me

There's no way he's in tempai already!

If you can or want to win fast, sure. It's also better if you have multiple dora.
If you want naturally bigger value hand, then don't call.

After they move twitter screencaps to /qa/

The good thing about them is they almost never fold. You can make a good hand with sweat wates and they'll feed you 90% of the time.

Don't feel bad about it, lots of people from here already played on tenhou so beating them is gonna be hard at first, we were all there at the beginning. Channel your inner Akagi, watch it if you haven't, and you will win.

Should I always try to get melds of honor tiles when I can?

Which series should I get into first: FKMT or Ritz?

Thanks I'll keep trying, I've wanted to try mahjong after watching Akagi and Saki but obviously I retained nothing from those shows.

mudazumo

Are you ok with infinite ongoings in the first place? I got into mahjong thanks to fkmt's Ten manga.

Completely different stuff.
I'd say FKMT stuff is way better(not just his mahjong stuff, everything) but if you like cute girls and MAHOU mahjong Saki would be better.

Only when it’s yakuhai and you want a fast cheap hand

You won't learn this game by reading. You just need to play. A lot.

always go for riichi
never call on anyone tiles
just collecting 4 sets and a pair

Attached: hisa.webm (640x360, 2.27M)

yeah, quite often actually

What are good beginner hands to go for? I try to go for the "all simples" combo but I never get it

This, stop calling tiles if you don't know what hand you're even forming.

you just go for whatever fits your hand

get you wind/the table's wind or a dragon and spam pon chii nya

unleash your inner chink and always go for four triplets

It's hard to play when I've no idea what's going on. I get the gist of collecting sets and pairs, but then there's ways they interact with honor tiles and other things that seem arbitrary to me. For instance, why would I discard a north tile specifically? I think I had a tanyao once but I had no option to call anything, I don't even know why I won this one.

Can someone post that 4 hour youtube tutorial?

as a beginner try learning tile efficiency and best hand for this is pinfu. it's closed only so it forces you to avoid often unnecessary calls but always allows to declare riichi and stacks with many other yakus like iippeikou, tanyao, sanshoku etc.

what's a replacement dora?

I made this image to try and help new players with getting to know all the yaku. I ordered it by how common I feel each yaku is so that you can start by focusing on the easy ones then gradually expand your knowledge to the later ones. Hope someone can get some use out of it.

Is the wind your direction? Or just East?
How many dragon do you need?
What's pinfu? is it not calling pon or chi?

by remembering the scoring table, it's not that hard (though lately we're being using special app that allows to enter han and fu and shows hand value automatically)

You need THREE DRAGONS

First, make sure you have the cat, now this is the most important step.
Next Pon-Nya everything, Toi Toi up this bitch, easiest 2 hans of your life.

pinfu is closed all sequences hand that must have non-valuable pair(i.e. not dragon or current seat or round wind) and double-sided wait (like 34 waiting on 2-5)

Why are people in my games getting tsumos left and right

my nyagger

So what are open and closed hands?

try a different browser

>discard north wind
>next draw is north wind, discard it
>third draw is north wind
So this is hell

the thing with pinfu is, that it's much easier to finish your sequences than triplets and with correct discard order it's naturally building in your hand

Unironically what I do when I fall behind. Why bother being efficient with a shitty starting hand and hoping it slowly forms to a big hand which likely wont riichi no ura dora for you when you can slap that pon and steal some sweet doras or make your own using kan and if not then doom everyone else too for fun? You're already losing anyway.

Can you imagine the other players looking at your throws and laughing

three dragons and the rest of the hand is just random combos?

I've tried this before but I get "no yaku"

Ok, thank you for explaining that. Do you mind if I ask one more thing? what's the current seat?

So I'm starting to remember a good amount of yakus, but I can never remember which ones need to be closed or can be open. I just got fucked by going for double sequence with one of them chii'd.

The wind has to be your direction, or the table's direction (usually east).
3 dragons.
Pinfu is a hand worth no points, meaning only sequences (1,2,3 etc) and one pair, the pair has to be valueless (no dragons, not your wind, not the table's wind) and you have to win on two sided wait for a sequence (e.g. you have 2,3 and then you win by getting 1 or 4, having 2,4 and then getting a 3 does not count as pinfu).

If you see no yaku it's because you've got a meld(2-3-4) you need only triplets for Toi Toi.

I've learned the hard way that if you ever open your hand in silver you're basically asking to get cucked to death.

there's several apps that let you punch in your hand and it does all the calculation for you

We have a program written by local code overlords you could find on github.

Damn pinfu in complicated, I'll try to remember that, thank you for explaining.

I'm not sure what Toi Toi is but I won't go for melds anymore

The only closed only ones you really need to concern yourself with are riichi, pinfu, 7 pairs and iipeikou + the double one

>10 fucking gifts to get attachment level to 3

What the fuck is this and why shouldn't I continue to get raped in tenhou?

If you look at this you can see the names of the hands.
Toi Toi is a hand worth 2 Hans that can be played open so you can steal from others to make it, the hand is simply to have all triplets. It's a good hand to steal because unlike melds which you can only steal from the player on your left you can steal triplets from anyone so it builds fast.

gg qts

>posting the inferior version

This has anime waifus and shittier players, so you won't get raped as much at first.

On the other hand with triplets you're waiting on a single tile with only two remaining to call, while with sequences you're waiting on potentially 2 tiles with potentially 4 each remaining to call, so it kind of evens out.

Give me your best occult techniques.

I'll be honest my head hurts trying to understand all this but I think I understand what you're saying. Next time I play I should just make all triplets and chi as much as possible?

The thing with mahjong is that you should not try to "go" for hands. You need to make hands with what you've got and knowing what you can make comes with experience. My advice is to just play more and try to learn the hands by seeing who wins with what.

friendly reminder to do the superb emote before every ron

No, he's saying that there's a particular hand where you only want triplets (pons). This is called Toi Toi (all triplets).

There are other hands where you want lots of sequences (chis). One example is Sanshoku Doujun (mixed triple sequences) where you have 3 of the same sequence in different colours.

There are other hands where you don't want to call ANYTHING (no pons OR chis). For instance, you can't declare Riichi (free sex) if you call a tile.

There are some hands where you can have BOTH (pons AND chis). Tanyao (all simples) is a good example, you can have any combination of triplets and sequences as long as every tile in your hand is a number from 2 to 8.

Mahjong starts with learning the hands you can make, just like Poker starts with learning the hands you can make. Once you know those, then you start knowing which hands you can "go for" based on the hand you start with and the current state of the game.

Your default should just be a closed hand with riichi.

ggs, that was fast

ggs fellas :* maybe you can sit at the dan table one of these days

geezus I got fucked up

What's the difference between having open and closed triplets or sequences other than showing them? Does it matter which of them is the chi/pon'd sideways one?

Can't riichi, sometimes a different yaku and often a han-loss.
There is no "menzen/closed toitoi", that shit is very a yakuman called "suuankou"

> Does it matter which of them is the chi/pon'd sideways one?
It shows whose discard you called so you can see their pond information.
Left from you, the left tile is sideways, middle from the fag in front of you and right tile being sideways means that the idiot to your right discarded it

who knows

I appreciate the flowchart but I don't know most of those terms yet.

>I don't really know how to get to riichi in the first place
just be one tile away from any four sets (triplet or straight) and a pair. Once you are, a riichi button will pop up and you can click it. You get there by discarding tiles that aren't near ones you have and building sets of three with the ones that are.

>make beginner guide
>use all terms beginners wouldn't know
idiot

Thanks, so if I have a closed triplet it's useless for toitoi?

>I don't really know how to get to riichi in the first place
When the game gives you the option to call "PON" or "CHI", just don't do that. You can declare RIICHI if you're 1 tile away from having a finished hand (that is, there's a tile you can call RON on) and you haven't called PON or CHI.

>busted 56 times
damn....how do you deal with that feel?

No, toitoi triplets can be open or closed
He was just saying it's something else that's worth a lot more if they're all closed

Closed triplets can be used for toi toi. Anything closed is ALWAYS equal to or better than the same thing but open.

feels pretty bad, ngl

Woah, a thread on Yea Forums about fucking videogames woah what the fuck delete this thread NOW!

When I was about 13 my mum introduced me to the chinese version of the game, but I didn't understand it and we never played again. I rediscovered it a couple of years ago through Yakuza, but I always just dismissed it as overly complex. When Yakuza 0 came out on PC I decided to try to give it another try, started looking up beginner's guides and stuff. Then I watched Akagi and that made me more motivated to learn properly and I started to play that flash game to practice. It's been like maybe 9 months and it feels like half of what I do now revolves around mahjong somehow.

You can't open (Chii, or Poned) your hand for a lot of Yaku. NEVER OPEN YOUR HAND UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If you keep it closed you can get a Yaku by being in tenpai and closed.

It's illegal because you have no fucking yaku, which you'd know if you went through the tutorial that quite clearly says "Do this if you don't know how to play you fuckwit". And it'd be before, during, and after you discard.

just never call anything and hit the richii button when it comes up, you'll probably win anyway and you don't need to worry about yaku

They're thick plastic. You just shuffle them. Also, most people tend to play on a table with a game cloth of some kind, like felt.

Playing IRL is far superior. Actually handling the tiles is great and building the walls is weirdly satisfying. You can just use a calculator where you punch in your winning hand if you dont feel like calculating points.

The client is great and really beginners friendly though.
Or can someone recommend a better way to play comfy Mahjong.

Yeah in retrospect it definitely was. I was super loss-averse with money after that. It's just a shame cause it also instilled a pretty strong distaste for the game in me so it wasn't until about a decade later I picked it up again and realized how fun it could be.

I wonder if that user that was edging for yakuman did it or died. Hope he got that yakuman.

I'm so sorry catbro, you never stood a chance

If it's to win the hand, you can call it from anyone.

I'm winning, should I switch back to cat?

anyone

You can always steal your winning tile, even to complete a pair. It doesnt even count as opening your hand.

ty

There's a tile in the top right, that's the Dora indicator.
If it's a 3man, the 4man will be the Dora tile for that round. If the indicator is a 9 the Dora becomes a 1.
When you complete a hand and it has Dora tiles you get extra points.
But remember, the Dora isn't a Yaku. If your hand isn't in winning condition, all the Doras are worthless.

If someone has 4 of the same tile they can call a Kan which will reveal a new indicator. Increasing the amount of Doras for more potential points.

Dumping this autism again:

Here's how the scoring chart works in Riichi Mahjong

When you win, you look at your hand, and award points, called "Fu". It starts with
20 - For winning
+ 2 - Tsumo
+10 - Closed Ron

Then you look at your wait:
+ 2 - Anything except an open wait (You have two consecutive tiles waiting for a tile on either side, like a 34 waiting on a 2 or 5)

Then your pair:
+ 2 - If the pair had value (what they mean by this is if you had a third tile, would you have a yaku? If yes, you have a value pair)

Finally, look at your sets:
+ 2 Pon of simple tiles (2-8)
+ 4 Pon of Terminal/Word tiles
+ 8 Kan of simple tiles
+16 Kan of Terminal/Word tiles
x2 bonus per set if you did not steal any of it, not even for ron.

Add ALL of that shit up, then round up to the next 10.

Then you double that shit for every single han you have. Then the Japanese double it twice more for literally no reason, and those are your Base Points. For you math nerds, that looks like this:
Base Point = Fu x 2^(han + 2)

Everyone then pays you the BP rounded up to the next hundred. East pays and receives twice the BP before rounding. If someone has ron'd, the person who discarded bears the burden of every single player at the table.

EXAMPLE: 40 fu, 2 han = 640 BP.

Winner of the round is a Non-Dealer. The dealer pays 640x2 which is 1280, then rounded up, making it 1300. The other players pay 640 rounded up, making it 700.

BONUS ROUND: Honba (round continuation)
For every round that East wins, he stays east, and a marker is placed on the table. For every marker, each player adds in an additional 100 points to their score. This is included in the payment for the player ron'd.

Example from above, but there are two honba: Everyone pays an additional 200, or the ron'd player pays 600 extra.

This is also how Pinfu works. Pinfu means "No points", so it's 20 points, + win condition, and then all runs with an open wait and valueless pair

What if the dora is a dragon? what's the order it becomes? Also why is it not just the tile shown?
