I know, right? These threads are the only thing I come to on Yea Forums.

Noob here. I got 89man and 234sou, the new tile was 4sou. I discarded 9man and it told me this was really bad move, and should've discarded the 4sou. Is this true?

Wouldn't 2344sou be better than 89man?

Friendly reminder that calling for 1-2 han hands is considered a bad play 90% of the tme. It's not bad in the sense that other people dislike it or something, it's bad in the sense that you lose more than you win that way.

Well, you're sacrificing tile efficiency to complete your pair.

Which riichi theme is the one with the shamisen that transitions to the electric guitar riff? I can't find previews of either anywhere.

How do I keep track of the "round wind" in MS? I usually go for Pinfu and want to make sure I understand what "non-yaku winds" means.

Also I'm decent at the trainer now and at least understand what a two sided wait is now. What are 2 more Yaku I should memorize to take my shit to the next level?

>mahjong.guide/2017/07/22/puyos-guide-to-calling-tiles-part-1/
So much for being called a guide, just a one short page with a few obvioius facts. I would rather read osamuko's blog.

Round wind is literally whatever the round is named in the middle of the board.

e.g. East 1/2/3/4, East wind = Round wind

It's clearly there in the middle next to the round number.

Is it east round? East is the round wind. Are you the west seat? West is your wind. Basically if a triplet of it gives you yaku, it won't count for pinfu.

The wind in the middle is the round wind
the letter in front of you is your seat wind

The round wind will always be either east or south. It will say East/South followed by a number in the middle of the table. Your seat wind is the indicator next to your score. A triplet of either is worth 1 han, if your round wind is also the seat wind (i.e. being the dealer in East round) it's worth 2.

I thought it would be more efficient, since I get a quaranteed pair and a similar wait with 23sou as with 89man?

That app only measures how close you are to ready state. Whether it is good or not depends on other contexts, but technically it makes you further from tenpai. Which generally speaking is not good but may be ok situationally.

OH! Thank you that perfectly sums it up. Like I understood a triplet of either wind counts for Yaku but those same winds not counting towards Pinfu is what had me uncertain. Thank you everyone for the avalanche of replies!

I see it like this: Which is likelier in terms of probability? Getting tiles of the same suit or different suits on your draws?

So you discard the 9man

Draw 9 man
Well, ok we've got a pair, so we're throwing that out again
>Draw 6man
We're going for 1-4 sou, so we don't need those
>Draw 3sou, the worst shit imaginable

See where I'm going with this? Of course, I don't know how the rest of your hand is doing, but I'd encourage preferring runs like 2345 or 3457. Then again it also depends on what is happening in the game or whether you're going for a ron win or a tsumo win. Everything depends on everything.

>finally get into tenpai
>immediately draw a pair for the tile you discarded to get into tenpai

I wish it was fully translated.

You gain a pair but you lose a set since you now have a tile that isn't attached to anything. Some times this is the right move, some times not.

It's called the 'free sex button' for a reason.

Always repeat in your head:

IS MY RIICHI WORTH IT?
IS MY RIICHI MULTIPLE WAIT
AM I DESPERATE ENOUGH TO NEED A RIICHI?
CAN I WIN WITHOUT CALLING RIICHI?

Read the dainachiba book.
The thing you should know is basic effiency, when to riichi and how to fold.
Yaku is a given and if you dont atleast remember them you should do it before reading any guide.

And I'm sure people see this and ask themselves what the fuck I'm doing.

So why should I avoid taking tiles from the other players? I've heard it's a bad idea, but It seems like whoever takes them always wins.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

less hands you can win with
less points in general
rule of thumb don't call unless it completes a dragon/value wind trips and then after that it's safe

Open hands are usually worth less, you don't get the benefits of riichi (Ippatsu/uradora), and everyone else gets to see the tiles you've called on.

Winning with cheap hands isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you know/suspect someone else has a monster hand or you're in the lead and want to close out a game quickly.

Primary reasons are
1. It makes your hand cheap
2. It lessens tile efficiency e.g. calling a pon on a 445 then getting a 6.

Avoid it if possible, but it is a tool to use if, for example, your runs are a mess and you need to speed things up.

It's important to have a general plan of what you're calling before you just start hitting every chi/pon you get. You don't want to end up with no possible yaku. Generally, you'll be getting higher scoring hands if you leave your hand concealed. There's times to call and times not to.

Closed hands are generally worth more because they're harder to put together, so you'll get them less often.

People win more with called hands because they're easier, but because they're easier, they're worth less.

Also breaking up sets is a good way to end up furiten.

If you have the yaku to even go out and score decent with dora or hell complete a major hand, there is nothing wrong with it but the census is that novice players just use it to complete their shitty crap hand and then are unable to call riichi or even ron and have to rely on tsumo to go out, usually resulting in 1300 points or something.

A single mangan is worth more than 3-4 cheap open hands. If you have yakuhai (seat/round winds and dragons) it's okay to open your hand but you're probably not going to get much with it unless you have some other yaku or a shitload of dora.

So? Did you get it?

What does furiten mean?

>get btfo first round
>get into tenpai easily next 5 rounds but constantly get cucked out of winning

Fucking kill me. I drew the 8 on the last draw and threw down the 7 so I could show it off in the tie, and it went right into someones ron.

Your hand's fucked.

the tile you need to win you discarded earlier and that's not allowed

Ineligibility to win, even if your hand has yaku.

You cant win with other people's discarded tiles with your current hand, only the ones you draw from the dead wall.

literally what the fuck can i do if i have 12 tiles on faceup from ponning and chiing and cant yaku

Shit happens.
But always remember, it takes ~100 games to determine whether someone's mahjong cock is strong.

I've been practicing this game for a bit, but I still don't understand Kan. What's the benefit of calling it? Or having 4 tiles at the end instead of a triplet, if it's not part of a kan-specific yaku? I understand that a closed kan exists, but I still don't really know what it does for points. Contributes to fu maybe?

haitei/houtei/chankan/rinshan, not exactly common but you can still be a luckshitter

Attached: 1493499380434.jpg (1280x720, 70K)

Yes kans are worth 4 times as much fu as a triplet, but since fu is relatively meaningless in riichi mahjong, the main reason to call kan is because you're pretty sure you're going to win and want to try and score extra dora.

Oh man I forgot about the Kan dora. What's the limit on those? Also if I can ask without looking it up what's an Aka dora, if that's relevant? I remember hearing it once.

no you baka
learn the yaku
pinfu and tanyao are your bread and butter
at the very least just focus on the basic closed hand four groups of 3 and one pair
you can't ignore game mechanics and then complain about not winning user

>Someone could see you had a kan of the dora
>They still dealt a red 5 anyway
Whoever you killed with that hand deserved it

I'm convinced you don't know what yaku means

in real life could you pass on a ron opportunity if it was handed to you by somebody with really bad points that wouldnt benefit you to beat?

seems very risky but it seems like it would make sense if you know you're on one of the last matches and the only way to get 1st is to beat 1st place for his points you feel?

FUCK DORA LOTTERY!

Attached: 1538200446712.jpg (472x472, 12K)

There can be a maximum of 4 kans per round, so up to 4 kan dora. However if the 4 kans are called by different players then the round just ends in a null hand, all 4 have to be called by the same player to keep the round going, so realistically you'll never see more than 3 kan dora.

Aka dora means Red Dora (aka = red). Refers to the red five tiles.

>bye, man

user I've played 107 matches. I bullshitted 2 or 3 of them but I swear I've been trying the rest of the way. I know about Pinfu and Tanyao but I just haven't been able to put them together yet. The match is over before I even have half the tiles, that's why I'm rotating between different Mahjong games in the first place. Trying to find some place I can get enough turns in to actually assemble something.
Is it not this pic? That's what I've been using.

thanks a ton friendo ;]

So you haven't won a single hand yet?
Because if you've won any hands, you've gotten yaku.

The fu is worth it if it's closed honors and you're not mangan already. It's almost like having another han.

I have won one hand.

Yes but you would need at least a two sided wait since passing the first ron would put you in furiten for that tile.

You can take the temporary furiten if you want to snipe but hope the target doesn't just copy the tile you skipped

Passing on a ron only puts you in temporary furiten, unless you're in riichi. You can call ron again once you've taken another turn or the draw order is interrupted by a pon/chi/kan. Also, being in furiten makes you unable to call ron on ALL your waits.

I encourage all of you to learn the rules before giving advice.

got ronned four times in one game and havent opened the game since
still mad

Look up some basic defense strategies. Knowing how to avoid dealing in is even more important than knowing how make a good hand.

Attached: Risk table.jpg (626x548, 128K)

>or the draw order is interrupted by a pon/chi/kan
Calls don't break temporary furiten. You have to discard first. If you skip a ron on the player to your right, and they then pon from the player on your left three times in a row, you'll still be furiten until it gets back to your turn.

I know some of those term like
Genbutsu being same tiles

but what is tanki word tile?

It's probably not a good idea to have a guide like this in the OP. It makes it seem like too much of a general and it makes the mods more likely to move it to /vg/
I like these threads too much to see it suffer that fate

we can just skip straight to discord if you want
no need to bother with vg

Genbutsu just refers to any tile that's 100% safe, not just furiten tiles.
Tanki means a pair wait, and word tiles are another term for honor tiles, so a tanki word tile means discarding a word tile where you can already see three of that tile on the table. If you can see three of an honor tile, the only possible wait anyone can have for that tile is a pair wait, so it's statistically very safe.

ron

Attached: smug.jpg (604x438, 27K)

why is there sometimes 1 mahjong greyed out that i cant discard after calling a pon?

>oh someone already discarded 3 of west wind I guess its pretty safe
>eat a rising sun

It's a rule called Kuikae
If you call pon on a tile, you can't discard a copy of that same tile on the same turn. If it's a chii, you can't discard any tiles that you could have previously used to make a complete sequence. For example if you have 345 and and you call chii on a discarded 2 to make 234, you cannot discard the 5 on the same turn.

I used all my luck on that double yakuman yesterday, the game aint throwing me a single bone today

This game is mentally exhausting.

If you can see all four of any kind of honor or terminal tile, the last copy of any other kind of honor or terminal is 100% safe. But even without that, Kokushi is so rare that the last copy of any honor tile is already 99.9% safe.

Ura dora is the bonus dora you get when you riichi under the dora 7p.

I think this was a good start for my first match against people after about 10 or so practice matches against AI. Ended at around 43k under the first guy's 47k, and he got the majority of those points off a ron'd haneman in East 2. That chink never recovered, either.

Are you playing against lesbians, by chance?

doesnt work with open hand

You can't drop in rank (atleast not in bronze). Is this a good or bad thing for the game?

i'm calling the police

Waiting on a pon with two sets of pairs is one of the worst and unlikely waits you can have.

Why?

Because you have 50% of the tiles in your possession. The likelyhood of you getting them decreases if one of them is in the ponds.

What are my options for starting with a chi 234 or have i fucked myself horribly

Ok so copper exchange in silver+ rooms is zero-sum and based on the plus/minus scores, so you need to average like a 2.33 placement order to make copper.

But there's also an entry fee for the room as well so it's gonna be even worse. Please tell me I'm missing something important here.

You will never get enough gifts from chests.

Green item is common drop, do whatever you want with them.
Blue is uncommon, try to give it to the relevant girl if we're talking about min-maxing.
Sphere is material to unlock alternative dress when your girl has reached max bond, it's not something gift-able.

An average of 2.5 would be a placement spread of 1-1-1-1, or 0-2-2-0.
2.3 is better than average, but given that this is literally currency required to play the game after a certain point, and that there's also an entry fee, it seems pretty harsh to do it this way.

You can see it's second honba and the other players are still on 25k so that guy dealt into the dealer three times in a row.

Is there a training mode in this game? Or practice against AI? I need to start on the lowest possible entry level to learn Mahjong. Is there maybe a baby mode for 5 year olds or anything?

Open a friendly room with settings of your choice and you can then add three AI to play against.
Alternatively use this:
gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html

you can create your own room and add AI.

Friendly match- make a private room and select Ai.

How easy does the AI get though? I need it as braindead as possible.

It's probably better than the chinks at bronze rooms.

You can't make them so braindead that they don't even try to win hands. You have to learn somehow.

Yeah, common is pretty worthless.
Also
Common = 200 bond point = 1 dust
Uncommon = 1000 bond point = 5 dust
Rare = 5000 bond point= can't be turned into dust.
The game need an update and event There's already a menu for tournament, which I assume will award the winner with jade.
They need to open that ASAP.

the real mahjong souls starts here

I don't see iipeikou in that hand. Just tanyao pinfu 1 dora and presumably riichi ippatsu. If the player dealt the red 5sou and the hand got ura dora on the pair it would be it would be baiman, but that hand isn't necessarily a baiman. Dealer haneman would be enough to cause a score of -14400 if the player dealing in was on 3600 points. So he only needed tanyao pinfu riichi 1 dora and then some 2 han combination of ippatsu, uradora and akadora

still haven't figured out how the fuck I'm supposed to get the rarer hands. is it just luck of the draw early game or what?

80% luck, 20% skill

Hanchan 5+10s
mahjongsoul.game.yo-star.com/?room=23449

Another reason we need indicators to show direct discards outside of replays. If he'd seen you changed your wait, he might've been more cautious.

I still haven't figured out how the fuck to get ANY hand.

it's pretty much luck, yea
the whole "pinfu and tanyao are the foundations of mahjong" thing isn't just a meme, since you can pretty much always get one or the other instead of some huge meme hand

yeah i realized almost immediately after posting that i had been wrong about iipeikou. it has to be a baiman though, the score in the center of the table shows the poor bastard had 10200 at the start of the round. it has to be dora or akadora like you said, i'm just blown away because it's such an innocuous looking hand

drop honor tiles you don't need
drop terminals
get trips and sequences
win

alternatively
pon on an honour
call like a madman
try to get dora if possible
win

mahjongsoul.game.yo-star.com/?room=77897
Get in here, maggots!

Actually it can't be akadora on the 5 sou because the 5 sou is also the OP's wait, which would have made it double ron. So it has to have been uradora 3.

Just get to 2* Adept after 40 games.

There are still people who don't defend against ippatsu.
And according to the ranking, I'm already top 300.

Is this server that new?

so does the profit actually go up the higher you climb or does the higher penalty balance it out?

it's like a week old, yeah

It’s basically just charge you more to play a match
Yes you win more and you lose more
But you get access to better loot box too

Does anyone know what it means when you're looking at a replay and some tiles in the discard pile are dark/greyed-out?

Tiles that you discarded after drawing them and tiles that you discarded from your current hand.

does the grind for the box improve at all
I watched the recorded stream that was posted here and it barely moves even though the player was winning in 1st place

>There are still people who don't defend against ippatsu
When you could have a baiman but somebody breaks your ippatsu

reduce the 80% luck by 60% because you know your probably not gonna win so decide to defend

Here's a tip on how to become pro at the game.
Buy some jades with real cash.
Your starting hand will become better and you'll draw more useful tiles too nyaa.

I have heard there is a mod that lets you use your own background

Can I still win if a pull a winning title when I'm in "No Yaku"?

there a site to read mangas online? or do i have to download them from somewhere

No yaku means there are no winning tiles baka

Can you win with no yaku?

Only if your hand is closed, or if the tile you draw is the very last tile in the wall, or a replacement tile for a kan.

Time to rewatch akagi now that I actually understand mahjong

Only if you Riichi.
Riichi = +1 yaku.

I think it's time for you all to go to

Flavor of the month isn't /vg/ material.

Not sure about "winning" winning, but I did get Tenpai when I had no Yaku and 1 tile left after I kept pon and Chi due to desperation.

>check catalog
>2 smash threads
I think not

Say that to risk of rain, getting threads deleted left and right.

Pon and chi are the reason why you have no yaku. Don't call unless you have an honor triplet or you have a specific open hand you're going for.

Can someone explain furiten to me? This dude is in furiten because he discarded 1man but he apparently can still win from 4 and 7? I thought furiten meant that you had to win from tsumo no matter how many sided waits you have

>still riichi first
dare I say it.. epic

haku, something and 4pin
4 dora 1 aka dora 1 ura dora

you can still win a furiten hand by tsumo

furiten just means you can't win off another person's discard if it's a tile you discarded. So you can win off 1 man tsumo, but 4-7 ron is fine. I don't think I'm wrong on this but I welcome a correction

Winning is luck, not losing is skill.

You're wrong. Furiten for any of your waits is furiten for all of your waits.

>So you can win off 1 man tsumo, but 4-7 ron is fine
Wrong. If any of your winning tiles are in your discard, even if they'd give you no yaku or whatever, you can't ron.

Why can't you create money match rooms? I want to bully Yea Forums out of their hard earned shekels.

Attached: 1555154574125.jpg (500x500, 21K)

oops my bad, dunno where I got that idea

You can't ron a 4-7 either. The only instance you could ron on a 4-7 is in case the 1 is used for the pair and not part of any of the sequence sets used for the hand.

I don't remember that hand in particular, but in this case it might be
111-23-4-56, you discard a 1
11-234-567 wait on ONLY 4-7.

Huh, I knew I couldn't win with 9m, but I didn't know it'd put me into furiten if someone else played it. Good to know.
Still won by tsumo though luckily.

Should i even play against normal AI? Or just go for bronze retards like me?

Just play bronze and learn, who cares if you lose a bit unless you're a statswhore.
Besides, the AI goes so fast you'll barely have time to think, and it's more fun to play against real players even if they're chinks.

you may as well go for bronze and start learning how to deal with chinks that open their hands at the start of every game

Is it ever worth it to pursue kokushi? The temptation to go for it is strong with 9-10 tiles, but it never works out.

the only time you should ever go for it is when you have 12 tiles

I panic in later rounds and have missed my good position numerous times, so I am trying to devise plans for sure draw in later rounds, this was just one of my attempts

It was only a temporary furiten. You can't win from someone's discard just after someone else discarded your winning tile. The furiten will be removed after you draw a tile.

11 tiles in your opening hand? Go for it.
10 tiles? Only if you're desperate.
Otherwise, always call kyuushu kyuuhai.

Don't listen to those lucklets.
If you have 9 then be a real cat and go for it.

Attached: MahjongSoul Kokushi Musou.png (1670x943, 1.16M)

honestly, in earlier rounds i don't see a problem to at least try to go for kokushi with first couple of draws even if you have 8 or 9 tiles. the thing is, even if somebody declares riichi you have tons of tiles to defend. but yeah, in later rounds it's probably wiser to kyuushu kyuuhai

When you fail your chiitoitsu, how do you rebuild your hand?

Is kokushi really babby's first yakuman? I have never gotten in in 100+ matches (mostly IRL). Almost got it one time but the final 2 never showed up.

I actually think it's really smart how they do it. The characters do say the actual yakus, so unless you have it muted it's fine and it actually helps newbies understand what they got.

Also since it's made in a way that I barely have 4-5 seconds to look at the hand so I don't even bother most of the times. In Tenhou you first looked at the hand, then you read the yakus, then you confirm. In Mahsoul it's pretty much I DID THESE YAKUS NOW PRESS FUCKING CONFIRM ALREADY I WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER OPEN TANYAO so what I think sticks is the character talking instead of reading them.

The current state of mahjong video games is depressing to say the least.

Wait, so it doesn't have an app? I thought it was a mobile game.

how do i decide the server? i don even know what server i am on but i play tons of china/japs

Just did a match where every single draw was a 1, 9 or a dragon/wind even though I only needed 1~3 tiles for Tanyao, spent every round discarding them one after another after another and lost everytime. It's what I expected though.

if you're using the link on the top then you're playing in the EN server which let's you see CN players from bronze up and then JP from gold up

two more bitches needed

Well, sometimes shit happens.

No.
Besides a working interface, the game is horribly barebones. Even the gacha aspect of it feels incomplete.

>defend sometimes
>top 200
wtf. what is this playerbase.

So Kamicha called pon on my riichi and dealt my winning tile, why no ippatsu?

Calls interrupt ippatsu

because he called

newfag here
noice for different reasons:

Tenhou (no tourneys for shitters),
SegaMJ (no stable hanchan play),
Majs*ul (no tourneys yet),
Maujong! (bot game is da best but is separated client from their online play WHY),
Tengokuhai (ugly waifus, superb 1vs1 gambling mode)

>check rank
>I'm in top 150
>click top rank players one by one
>most of them are mahjong freaks with no friend games

Wow it's my first time getting catcalled, does that mean I can finally abandon my virginity?

Is it also free?

are there people playing on a discord or teamspeak?
kinda wanna play while "trash"talking

That leaderboard is eng ver only so nope.

Is there an easier AI setting than "easy?" I can't get a single hand in against them.

You have to use in-game currency for ranked match, but casual free matches are free. Pretty fun to play while laying on the bed.

Is kamicha left or right?

A lot of English players are from Mahjong discord.

*higher rank English players I mean

probably yes, since there's an official discord and all

Why does it feel like the special animations are all fucked up
feels like they play a bit later than when you expect them tobe

...

MJ has hanchans for 3P. Also, the best mobile client (except the menus) by far.

I've heard Tanyao is the easiest thing for beginners to do, but I can't get it to work under any circumstances. I don't have the clairvoyance or luck to guess when I'm going to be given 1's and 9's on every consecutive draw or I would've tried to actually do something with them.

It has 4p hanchans too but they come out in weirdest goddam time of the day patterns. Probably a cartel deal with tenhou desu

Interested since I always wanted to learn the game. This is getting an mobile app release, right?

Are there at least some kind of basic play guides in the game itself?

Lets go! 60sec newbie room, east only!

I wish there was an option to change the seat winds to reflect the tiles rather than NSWE
