Good game lads.

Does everyone rank up in East only? You tend to go negative in South if you end up in 4th so it feels like you lose more rank getting in 4th than getting 1st in South.

>But if there are 8 drawable tiles (4 for kans and 4 for north replacements), then there's only 6 for dora indicators, with only three of those being in the top row. So do the tiles from the back of the live wall become the new dora indicators?
No, because there is always 14 tiles, the last tile of the live wall turns into dead wall. So assuming no one calls kita, and someone calls Kan, the bottom tile of the last column would become dead wall. When you call a second kan, the top tile also becomes deadwall, now giving you breathing room for the third kan. If you DO call the third Kan, the bottom tile of the last column of the live wall becomes dead wall, meaning that you'll just baaaaaaarely have enough room that when you call the 4th kan, the top part of the last column of the live wall will become dead wall just in time to be flipped over for a new dora-indicator.

The only time this would become a problem is if someone got 4 kans, in tenpai for Suukantsu, then someone else called a kan and nobody else played any Kita. THEN you'd have to either abort early, or you'd have to flip a live tile.

I can't even remember all the hands

Honestly aside from tea girl and PONNYA they're all pretty boring. It's like they tried to make them more interesting by making them more cliche, but they just ended up being caricatures. I guess genius girl and alcoholic are okay.

You will after some time.

Some other variants may use the flowers tiles, not sure about their rules though.

There's a different between Epic and Tencent and a fucking online mahjong lobby made by an indie gacha studio.

I don't get the different kind of hands. Does getting certain triplets get you more points? When does the game end?

Hang nyaggers.

Mahjong Soul is the hot new thing that's got Yea Forums in a mahjong-fueled frenzy, since the barrier to entry has been made as low as possible.

>Some other variants may use the flowers tiles, not sure about their rules though.
IIRC flowers are basically just free kans. You draw them, slot them off to the side, do a rinshan, and get bonus fu at the end for having a flower.

Here's a beginner's guide, and I'm posting a picture of the Yaku. I hope this helps user.

don't you have some twitter thread to go shit up?

Attached: 1.gif (640x480, 132K)

It's something you have to memorize. Each type of hand gives you some nimber of yaku and you need at least 1 to win.

Certain hands are harder to make and hence give more yaku.

Maybe you can try to win with some of the lower ones first to get a feel of what it's like.

>Does getting certain triplets get you more points?
Yes. Triplets of "honor" tiles can be worth points on their own, while triplets of "number" tiles are only ever worth points if you have more triplets (either your whole hand is all triplets, or you have 3 triplets of the same number, or something like that).

When I say "triplet" I mean 3-of-a-kind, incidentally.

>When does the game end?
Depends on the type of match you're playing. It's either at the end of south 4 or east 4, or when someone's score goes negative.

>first game in Silver
>get absolutely destroyed

You got it. You can also get bonus han depending on the ruleset. Apparently the flowers have a seat order to them too. I remember 1 han (they call it faan) was for having no flowers as well, because most rulesets actually COMPEL you to announce them and draw a replacement.

Why did all the Westerners stop playing already. It is so much harder to win now.

It's been talked about a bunch of times, IIRC you get 2x on first purchase of each tier but don't take my word for it.

Should I keep my hand closed as in aim for richi or pon and chi whenever I can? Sorry I am new and brainless. I have played against easy bots 16 times and won just once. Cant construct a single all simples yaku or richii before someone wins.

Finally out of bronze, goddamn it took me way longer than it should've.

Attached: baiman.jpg (1464x822, 271K)

is correct, take my word for it

I see, thanks. That's basically what I meant. The tiles from the live wall that get added to the dead wall now become potential dora indicators. It threw me off because in normal 4 player mahjong the dead wall has all the tiles it needs for kan dora right away, and the ones you add from back of the live wall just always stay face down and aren't used.

Pon and Chi only when you have a plan or reason to do so, a Yaku you're working towards (or already have).

Finally a Mahjong game for retards like me who are terrible at reading moon runes.

yeah I got gloded, that describes it well

I'm tired of these fucking hags pulling early riichis out of their ass

Pinfu is your friend. It's 'easier' to play with a closed hand; calling tiles requires a certain know-how in terms of when to commit. Of course you can be a retard who just pons a honor and then calls every single time he can, ending up with an epic 2 han hand. The advantage of playing closed is you can just fold if you see somebody pon a dora or riichii and your hand is cheap and far from being completed. Work on your tile efficiency for the time being.

dumb nyagger.

Is there a way to disable timer against bots?

60s is more than enough time, just practice

That doesn't work on chinks. It does work on gooks though.

Play this instead if you're just practicing:

AI only, no time limit

Also keep in mind that the dora indicator being so far back is to offset the tiles about to be taken from players calling kita, which is very, very rare that they don't. It's free han, after all. It is unlikely someone will ever get suukantsu, and it's even MORE unlikely they'll get suukantsu in a round where nobody calls for a kita.

Most likely are benefactors. You can tell

Just look up some videos on youtube.

Don't worry, there are people who knows how to play the game. You'll have a good time.

If you can put up with my shitty accent, I made a 15 minute video on how to get started with it.
youtu.be/PpgcQ3A3PVE

Try the guide here to get started:

Japanese rules use 136 tiles (1-9 in three suits plus seven honors, all times four). Chinese rules add 8 "flower tiles" that give bonus points if you draw them but don't otherwise interact with the game (like the red threes in Canasta).

My fucking dick.

It has gembutsu hilighting against people who have riichi'd.

Playing defensive and throwing safe tiles.

Easier with a closed hand since you have more options.

Some people said the current leader looks like Pooh Bear, and apparently he really hates that. The whole situation is hilarious.

I wish I was making this up but it's literally memes. Memes that are saying that the Prime Minister looks like Winnie the Pooh.

Unf those pixelated tiles are sexy

It means that you abandon the objective of completing a hand, and instead concentrate on discarding "safe" tiles that can't be ronned by the "dangerous" player.

Most of the old console mahjong games are like that. They give you the bad habit of just going for the win though, regardless of the score.

I see, so if I were to get in to it and buy a real set I could just not play with the flower tiles if I use Japanese rules?

Because of furiten rule you know which tiles you opponents can't win off. If you discard only those they can't ron you. Keep in mind that EVERY tile discarded after somebody riichiis is safe against that riichii, because passing up a ron in riichii puts you in permanent furiten. Try to pay attention to people's discards and don't fall for the trap of falling into folding against riichii only to deal into a more expensive non-riichii hand elsewhere.

Yeah, Chinese mahjong sets work just fine with Japanese rules. You won't have the option of adding red fives (that you would have with a Japanese set), but that's not too much of a loss. I personally think Japanese mahjong sets are more aesthetic though.

What are the different ways a game can end? There's the obvious one of dealer not winning/being in tenpai at end of south 4. Also if someone goes negative the game ends. But I just had a game end after I won as dealer in south 4, ronning the leader to become the leader with 33200 points and 4th place had 13600.

Was an exciting game too, i was at 8000 points at beginning of south round.

Dealer winning last round as the 1st place.

I think I get the game, but I don't at the same time? Help a brainlet out? Do you basically place certain tiles down until you match a set or a pile?

The All Simple Yaku is a blessing for a brainlet like me

A list of yaku for beginners should be sorted by prevalence, starting with and emphasizing the Big Four (i.e. riichi, tan'yao, yakuhai, pinfu). If you don't know the Big Four, you don't know Japanese mahjong.

It's the Japanese version of the game you colossal dumpass

So when you get gifts from a chest, are you supposed to sell them for dust, or gift them to the girls?

I made this a couple days ago. Didn't really seem to get much response though. I agree that most yaku lists don't really give beginners anything to latch on to, they are just a huge confusing infodump and don't really give a proper progression for learning, so in the end they're still not sure what they should do most of the time. I'm not a graphic designer or anything so someone could probably do better than me.

I did want to add some other little references, like a guide for the manzu numbers, but there really isn't any space left.

Yours looks great for people in the "I have no fucking idea what any of the yaku are and I can't memorize all these at once" phase, I'll hang onto it for teaching people as well

A good way to understand Yaku beyond playing the game is to try and make them in a Mahjong Calculator.

Because anyone can tell you a San Shoku is three identical sequences in each suit, but that means nothing without an example and even then you'll probably forget it.

Trying it out with an actual calculator is good to quickly make a hand and see if you understand how it works.

There aren't any. Stop being a bitch and just memorize them.

Why invent new terms if there already are widely known ones?

Junk mats are nice, but the price is a little high for what it is since it's imported. You don't really NEED one, but having an edge to build the walls against is nice and the tenbou trays are great too. They just feel nice to play on.

You can really use anything though, just buy a folding table and you're golden. I've heard you can get dedicated mahjong folding tables from chinatown shops but never looked myself

>It's atrocious because you can actually tell what numbers the tiles are without learning Kanji numbers

Because there aren't any. All the yaku themselves have english terms if you prefer to use them though.

Who are you quoting?

Some of the terms are actually just corruptions of English words in the first place, like dora = dragon. It's a mobius double riichiaround of stupid.

but yeah i mainly want something with felt because ive heard about tiles cracking and would just want them being discarded+shuffled around on a soft surface over anything else

Rolled it up too tight?

The main problem with the scoring is when you look at the point formula, Japan adds two extra han to the final score tally for literally no reason. Kan are fantastic if you want to add fu to your score, which is useful in Chinese cause your Fu is also your money. But you hit the limit with no effort in Japanese.

It's faster to say yaku than "a winning condition". Meh

Get in here you fucks

That's what I don't like, going for fu is fun but it feels shitty that after barely any han which are easy to get because dora, it just doesn't count at all. I also don't like how han don't matter after a certain point unless it's enough to break into the next score tier.

I wish it was just something fu and doubles like chinese, just so every scoring thing you do actually counts

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO

If you're talking about that user who shows up in the threads talking is chipped YMI set, his is an extremely edge case of edge case. Those YMI sets are pretty good quality, and I've been playing with mine for a long time, just dumping it out on hard wood and what not. I am genuinely shocked every time he mentions that his cracked.

Sorry dude, host here, i left you to play with chinks a fast east game

I don't know what you're asking, if they riichi at any point in the game they can't have called anything.

Those who joined this room, GG. I have to go now though. It was fun playing.

Why don't you just fullscreen your browser?

GGs.

I think the problem had something to do with the two side bars. There are several crevices in the mat now that make it hard to shuffle the tiles around.

stop playing weeb chink games if it bothers you

Is there an app for this? Want to play this at work.

drop chanta tiles and hope it isn't a tanki wait on any of it

No worries. I stuck around for a few more seconds but nobody else joined so I bailed too.

Sorry dumb question, just saying whenever you have little information to work with riichi or not

I did end up creasing the mat with one of the sharp edges of the side bars once too, but it puffed back out after a little bit.
I just make sure everything's loosely sitting in the bag when I put it away now

I still don't know what you're talking about, are you asking about how to defend against it? Remember that any tile anyone discarded after someone riichi'd is 100% safe against the guy in riichi

what if you don't have any

Winning need luck but not losing need some skill user.

If you have a good hand like this might as well just push it.

Yea and say its early game with small pools and at best you might have a suji to work with

>"Who the fuck would wait on that?"
if you have to ask yourself this question before dealing in, then they probably are waiting on it

Well the one good thing about an early riichi is safe tiles start to pile up and there are more and more copies of the safe tiles. This is why double riichis often drag out for a while and just end in a tsumo, with each new tile that goes down three more safe ones are created.

Could be worse
>get destroyed by lucky initial hands and then get cucked out of all your big hands by shitty 1-hans so you have zero chance of making a comeback

Against early riichi either you follow discard or just ignore it completly.

Anyone else play Mahjong irl?

I'm pretty lucky, I had a bunch of friends who taught me how to play with their set and from there I just loved it. I had just seen Akagi so I picked it up quite quickly. I bought my own set and a junk mat the next year and starting teach more people at a society I run at uni how to play, and they all love it as well. I've taught around 20+ people at this point.

I just got off a game today actually, I play it every Saturday with my friends and it's a lot of fun, it's really nice to feel tiles and slam them down on the table. Plus things like making the wall and flipping the dora tile correctly can't be taught online.

I'll always remember the moment I finished a game of Mahjong, went upstairs and put on a random episode of Akagi and I was so overjoyed that I fucking UNDERSTOOD what was happening.

You can say "Uno!" instead of Riichi, if you want.

Your only option is 50 item donations to exchange the shit for 1 single gacha roll at 5% of getting a character. So no, you really can't unless you're willing to play hundreds of hours for one roll.

Fu also gets rounded up in japanese which makes the smaller sources of fu totally useless. You could easily revise Japanese rules to omit fu altogether.

Also in Chinese mahjong, hands are worth fewer points due to the lack of the baseline 2 han, but the scoring limits are also much lower, so in practice a 5han hand still always reaches the points limit (or 4 han 40 fu, 3 han 70 fu). Typically 500 basic points is the limit and there aren't even any higher limits like haneman/baiman/yakuman. Even yakuman hands are no more valuable than a 5han hand.

But the thing which makes scores go absolutely crazy in Japanese mahjong is dora. The one standard dora is fine but add in kan dora, akadora and uradora and things start getting really nutty.

this game got me so fucking tired and frustrated and depressed today
I had several, several, several extremely gigantic big dick hands on riichi, but almost all of them got destroyed by shitty 1-han or 2-han hands made by other niggers, and most of them would only have a chance to win by going for a good hand, not a fast hand
it was frustrating enough to make me want to quit mahjong forever because I don't think I'll ever be able to build such beautiful hands again
it made me realize that in today's meta fast hands are everything that matters (I read that somewhere), the big dick hands will never happen unless you riichi them very very early on because of 1-han niggers
fuck this game so much, would it get better at high ladder games or worse?

But I always go for big dick hands and often get it.
sometimes I fail, but それは麻雀だ.

3/4

hell yeah not 6-tiled ponds

also, to add to this
it makes me wish there was an alternate game mode where east wind tiles and dragon tiles don't count for a yaku
the only yaku allowed for open hands in my mahjong would be:
>player's own wind
>triplet or quadruplet of dora
>no terminals
and whatever tile patterns that require over 100 IQ and thus are not within the reach of niggers

Sorry but get good

Isn't riichi just "reach" phoneticized in japanese?
It's on katakana after all

If fast hands were all that mattered it would be the only thing you see pros ever do. The real reason why everyone here is getting so unbelievably assblasted over cheap fast hands is because they purposefully ignore tile efficiency to chase big hands, and rightfully get burned for it. You have to wait for the big hands to come to you, if you try to brute force them you will fail and be at the mercy of chiipon fastfags forever.

If you play against good players they'll purposely try to win as quickly as possible if they think you have a big dick hand.

>baseline 2 han
what?

Sounds like chinese mahjong desu, it has far more stringent rules on win conditions and most people play no tanyao with hand value minimum requirements for calling ron.

I still haven't found a good balance. Feels like every time I go for something that isn't a tanyao or pinfu I regret it but on the other hand it's nearly impossible to make a comeback off cheap hands. One nigger getting a stupid hell wait ron on you can cost the match.

>triplet/quad of dora is yaku

That's actually not a great hand to go for thirteen orphans, with double S,N,and Red dragon, you would've been better going for all honors or at the very least a half flush.

Statistically, a starting hand with 9 unique honors/terminals aiming to complete Thirteen
orphans will only succeed ~5% of the time (only about 5% even go for it to begin with, the majority will accept the redraw).

At 10 unique starting honor/terminals, the success rate goes up to ~13%; and at 11 unique honor/terminals, it goes up to ~35% which is actually statistically higher than an average hand.

Basically, go for it only if you have 11 starting unique honor/terminals and 10 ONLY if you absolutely need the points, or are so far ahead it doesn't matter.

Need another nyagger to take down a yakuman wielding onee-san.

I hate it
I recently played an old mahjong computer game that used an older version of Japanese rules which used the Chinese scoring formula for the most part and it was a fucking blast, every little thing you do stacks up and contributes to your score

I wish modern riichi had sort of a blend of the two, maybe a different doubling formula so dora didn't make it go nuts but still have everything directly mathed out so every han and fu actually affects your score

Attached: 1551743881112.png (842x630, 35K)

The problem with anything that ruins fast open hands is that literally every game just turns into a cointoss riichifest where you're just trying to be first to riichi. Fast open hands are rarely worth as much as riichi hands, so their existence creates a risk-reward thing. Calling reduces your defensive capabilities, makes it easier to tell what kind of hand you have, and usually lowers your hand's value, but it speeds you up. The fact that your huge riichi hand got cucked by a fast hand is GOOD for the game's balance.

I agree that dora can get out of hand fast though. Maybe if dora only counted once for each category. So you can only get 1 han for dora, 1 for akadora, and 1 for uradora. It's not a huge difference, but it means that one lucky flip doesn't octuple the value of your hand.

Well a 13% chance of winning a fucking yakuman is pretty good. I'd say you only go for the 5% if you really need the points, but I'd go for it at 13% most of the time unless I was already 20k points in the lead.

I was even spamming the knife gesture. Did he think I was bluffing?

Tanyao and pinfu don't have to be cheap, this is part of the reason the Riichi mechanic exists and why it is so fundamental to the game. Any hand has the potential of becoming at least a haneman if it remains closed.
1 han Riichi
1 han Tsumo
1 han Ippatsu
1 han Tanyao/Pinfu
? han Uradora
This doesn't even take into account other easily acquired yaku such as dora, red dora, or less commonly encountered luck based yaku such as Haitei/Houtei or Rinshan. Are you gonna get all of these? Most likely not, but you will probably at least get some of them and there is always the CHANCE of getting a lot of them which is important because besides the Tanyao/Pinfu, they are completely detached from the actual composition of your hand.

Open tanyao exists not to win games but to shut down dangerous hands when it's a better option than going into full betaori.

The first game i played against was AI and i got 7pairs for the first time in my life so i naturally assumed that the game was making me win. turns out i was just lucky as fuck and i wasted that luck on some shitty AI game.

Now playing against real people i never get the hand again. There is no fucking god.

Typically when you get 7pairs it's because you started with a hand with a bunch of things like 778 133 2red 1green, that sort of thing, and you kept drawing the complementary tile with no reason not to keep in and improve your wait (because 7788 is WAY stronger than 778). And suddenly you realize you've drawn 5 pairs without completing any of your waits and you'd be like 4shanten if you DID complete one, so you ride the wave and end up in tenpai.

7 pairs by itself is not a particularly rare or valuable hand, that's why it's only worth 2 han.

gg, shame about that dude leaving

Score calculation in riichi mahjong is Fu * 2^(2+Han). The 2 in the (2+Han) part gives the implication of 2 "base" han that are included in the score of every winning hand. In chinese mahjong the calculation is just Fu * 2^Han.

Am I being baited?
That's not what any of the japanese games call it, it's katakana for riichi

"autist", I neither needed nor wanted your welfare disconnect you tea-sippy emotefagging son of a bitch.
I only dealt that dora like a brainlet because my tablet fucked up and I had to fingerbang one or the other in a hurry.
When I see you again, I will make you spam all kinds of negative emotes.

was anyone able to get me a login for this? I was the user who wanted to play but didn't want to make an email for it. Someone said they would start a gofundme to get someone to make a login for me.

Say, how many yakuman have you done until now?

They've always looked like balls to me.

GGs, gotta run #83460.

/jp/ is slow because they are filthy crossboarders themselves, posting on reddit and discord and what not without even changing the names. So much for elitism.

It has random anime pictures in it of course Yea Forums plays it

My heart belongs to Chiwa Saito.

They're not random you can freely choose between two of them

That was too fast as fuck, one more then

I can't join friendlies on /jp/, I can on here if I'm fast enough.
That's the reason I'm doing this on Yea Forums until the jannies get mad and demand these threads move to /jp/.

Can someone explain the counter on the top left? Why does it say x2 besides the riichi stick, there was only 1 person in riichi.

Lelfover riichi stick from last round.

I'm retarded and I went too big

Gg lads. Basedidiot you never gave me anything I needed. I don't think I did more than 2 chiis

yeah? did they come through!

They're only random if you decide to throw your brain out the window and spend actual money on the game.

I'm sorry.

So I'm in the process of calling Riichi here, what's the reasoning behind the tiles I'm given to put down? Are they related to my hand at all, or am I just discarding them sideways as a timestamp for when I made the call? Sometimes I have 3~4 tiles I can put down but I'm not sure what their relevance is...

Reminder to go for riichi sticks with open tanyao etc if there are two or free floating around.

Room for retard and noob learning the rule 91703

To elaborate, if I DON'T want to call for riichi, should I just cancel the riichi, discard the "bamboo 1" tile here and play as normally?

it all went downhill from here

sent ;)

The 1sou there is the only tile you can discard that will put you in tenpai, hence it's the only one you're allowed to call riichi with.

>all these players with Chinese names

I know for sure its a 24-34 year old Chinese guys chain smoking cigs and playing Mahjong

join already you jigaboo

They're middle aged woman, in china they play this instead of candy crush and the likes

The tile is useless in your hand if you want to complete it in order to declare riichii. If you're confident you'll get Tsumo, you don't have to do a thing. By the looks of it, you'll need a 1M to complete it, but I would not recommend doing that. Man tiles are often discarded very quickly, so there's a low chance it'll be finished with that specific tile you need.

So if I didn't want to go into Riichi, I should just discard the 1sou and keep drawing normally. Got it.
(Though I didn't want to do it in that specific round anyways, the uncertainty of how NOT to call a riichi was starting to bug me.)

You are alright I just don't know the right word for cross-siters to be butthurt about.

He needs 8pin. His hand is riichi iipeikou dora 4. Honestly he could stay in damaten with a hand like that.

To add onto this chain, many of the hand names don't make sense in Japanese. While Riichi is original to the Japanese rules, it's possible it was based on a mispronunciation from a Chinese set of characters like most of the hands are.

I have seen someone discarded a full daisangen so this is nothing.

He never walked again...

heh

It's a good game that most weebs will eventually brush up against through anime or video games, or even just references to it, and this game is the first time that Riichi has been available in a particularly stylish format that's appealing and attractive to most gamers.

Oh, uh, I mean porn. Porn is why.

Guess you might be the nadeshiko.
Yeah, I realized my cheap chanta could not beat you barring a ron. And to my surprise, I found out last game that furiten is PERMANENT in MS and not just a one-hand penalty like in Tenhou. That pisses me off because I used to fish for ipeikous doing this.

on the internet no one knows you're an ojou-sama

I could feel your pain through the screen when you dropped the third one.

It's really not the anime girls, it's there being a good free web client that's in english and is easy to make lobbies in for the first time.

i know they're pros but this is really making me realize how slow i am

I need to avoid blitz games anyway. They're part of the reason I keep dropping Tenhou, because I can't do the slow hanchans anymore after a point.

I tried fighting for 3rd place, but constant Tsumos really not helped

yolo

Fuck dragons, real men win with no honors 1s or 9s. Unless it's all green, then that's acceptable.

never seen an all green in my life

I went permanent furiten too earlier, I thought it was for one round too and that also cost me at 1st place.
I don't do or like them much either but memes and also I don't have time to do South games that may have take longer than an hour right now.
It can't be helped but I know that feeling too, had a chinitsu and got ronned for 1k as soon as I went riichi with it.
ggs all

I got close to one the other day then a hag pulled a 1-han tsumo and ruined it.

You can see that in replays. It is kind of neat though when you tsumo and half your hand was tiles that somebody was waiting on.

I got it only once in Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle.

>he hasn't gotten all green

No, I didn't play because tenhou looks ugly. JRM was good though but that went to shit.

Post your tenpai theme
youtu.be/ZpwtG7UT9XA

Furiten is absolutely permanent in Tenhou, what are you talking about?

If:

>you have discarded a tile that will complete a full hand
>you are in riichi and you choose not to ron on an opponent
>you are not in riichi and it has been less than one round since you chose not to ron on opponent

Then you are in furiten
