Last one got archived before I could replay goddamnit
Mako really got the shit stick because it's more of a stack of experience rather than a power. Same goes for players like Touka, Funa-Q, Nodoka (basically all the computer types with glasses)
Then there's the actually skilled people with batshit insane techniques which might just work with high-skilled games like Hisa or Retard Master.
When we say lesbian magic we mean bullshit like Sakis Rinshan at will, Lesbian Wi-Fi where the one partner always doubles the score of the other, Moon Magic making everyone draw shit, whatever Toyone decides to pull, East/North Gates of Jairu Baito, Tit magic from Kasumi, guaranteed Chin-Itsu with balls from Kinue
Because of coruse I would avoid like a plague the riichi. There's no riichi so you have no idea what they need and when. Many cases the hand is closed, and they ron me, because they are assholes without riichi.
I want to pull those tights down from her legs and smell them for a long long time. Hmmm!
Tyler Reed
i only played one game yesterday and only know how to richii and make sequence/pairs also the screen makes it hard for me to see what people discarded/numbers but i will get that with time
>South 4, in first place >Player in last place is dealer >Keeps winning, catches up to a difference of only several thousand points >Hits riichi again >I accidentally deal into someone's cheap tanyao >Ends the game with me still in first place I meant to do that.
Jason Brown
Post a replay or a screenshot, nigger. I'm 99% sure you don't understand what you're talking about.
What the fuck is your problem? When the hands are all open, with 1 call each how on earth would you know some one is just 1 tile away from victory and it's exactly yours? My point is, there is no riichi so it's fucking bullshit. I understand dealing in to a riichi, and accept it, because you can know what is safe to throw away.
Gavin Perez
Can someone post the 1 sou on fire gif?
Kevin Williams
>South 4 >barely behind 1st place >open tanyao my way to victory
>someone riichi's after you do and you deal-in to their hand >they proceed to deal into your hand twice in a row Name a better feeling, lads
Ryan Hughes
welp
Jeremiah Ross
My problem is that you seem to think that you know what you're talking about, but you don't. There's plenty of voodoo about figuring out if the open hand is close to being finished, such as suddenly discarding middle tiles from what appears to be an open tanyao.
Angel Russell
Not playing this piece of shit is one
Dominic Parker
>There's plenty of voodoo about figuring out if the open hand is close to being finished, such as suddenly discarding middle tiles from what appears to be an open tanyao. Maybe if you are an autistic savant.

Same, let's try 18646 then
Jaxson Bennett
>have a wait for a haneman/baiman >"RONNYA!" >it's a ta-nyao
you could go for the triples hands which are usually worth more
or you can go for a fast all simples by calling pons. pons are easier to call than chis (sequences) as you can steal from any player. you can only call chi on the tiles from the player to your left
Do I play with the boys for a hanchan before work or do a hanchan in silver? Haven't played rank in a hot minute.
Joseph Stewart
>play with chiponchinks >or play with fellow skilled anons
The choise is obvious my man
Kevin Martin
The triggered babbies are at it again.
Zachary Barnes
No, why would you do that? You're more likely to form a sequence but if you have triplets then you have triplets. It's all probability and depends on your hand and discards present.
Jordan Campbell
I guess this game isn't for me, or any multiplayer game. I already have broken My keyboard and headphones because of this shit.
Ryan Watson
you are the worst fucking nyagger of them all, that's the second time you won with a bullshit last round Baiman bullshit
If you have no yaku besides ones like yakuhai/tanyao or even worse a mess which would end up riichi only, and you pull a tile where you could swap a ready triplet to build for pinfu wait, then yes.
Jacob Fisher
I don't get it without open tanyao this game would be boring as fuck. When I get a shit hand I'm gonna go for the easy score so I have a better chance at something worth points next round. I don't want to have to wait until the 40th draw each round for the ara ara's working on that impossible yakuman.
Caleb Smith
>Many cases the hand is closed, and they ron me >Many cases the hand is closed, and they ron me >Many cases the hand is closed, and they ron me Show replay. I don't believe it. If there are truly many cases you should be able to find at least one.
Just to confirm you can only Riichi when you need exactly one tile, so no riiching on Pinfu. Also Riichi can only be added to an existing yaku. So its basically just a way of adding on an additional han and bullying the table letting them know you are in nyanpai.
Cant you read? What the hand is for this yakuman does not matter
Sebastian Garcia
? You can reach on pinfu, tenpai is tenpai, it also gives you a chance for ippatsu, ura dora
Christopher Allen
>orasu >i am second and the difference between me and first guy is about 10k >finally got a mangan hand with 2 calls and in tempai >dealer throws riichi >first seat decides to throw away a 5 sou into my honitsu and make his hand 1 shanten Betaori is for pussies, amiright?
>when you need exactly one tile not true >so no riiching on Pinfu you just cant call it when you are waiting only on last of the pair >Riichi can only be added to an existing yaku it can be your only yaku when you have none to win the game
Ethan Edwards
Riichii is basically a yaku itself. You can riichi with anything and it's considered a hand.
Brandon Peterson
You can absolutely riichi on pinfu, but it only counts if your last wait is a ryanmen wait.
Hunter Wilson
You can riichi only a closed hand. Even if you're in a 13-sided wait. You can also riichi an otherwise no yaku hand, which is one primary reason why calling is bad.
Carter Lewis
You can riichi when you're in tenpai and your hand is closed. "Need 1 tile" means 1 more can complete your hand. How many tiles can potentially complete your hand is irrelevant.
Because no one wants to sit down for 4 rounds with the same points. After 2 rounds whoever is in the lead won't deal into big hands anyway. It's better to just play two half games with a fresh start in between.
Chase Cooper
friendly room for frens, come and have fun but watch out for the nyagger
Why not? So it would be impossible to detect by ctrl + f in the catalogue if someone was looking for it?
Gavin Jackson
-You can only riichi if you haven't called a tile from another player -If you're in tenpai (meaning a tile can complete your hand, you can call riichi -It's a 1000 point bet, meaning you have to pay 1000 points to be able to call it -Means you need at least 1000 points to be able to call riichi
Dominic Jackson
Never. I understand the fundamentals, but have no idea how to make it work. I just wing it everytime and lose. I have no Spatial Perception or mathematical skills, so understanding all those patterns and statistics/odds are no go. No idea about all the shit they talk about here, can't understand anything.
Justin Brown
This isn't a game you easily understand in 5 games, lad. Just keep playing and learning.
Cooper King
jesus christ why did you guys recommend me this digital crack
Omega brainlet with below room temperature IQ here. So this means riichi is only worth doing if you have some shitty hand that is technically "complete" with one more tile, but it's so shitty that it doesn't even have a yaku and without riichi you wouldn't even win? If you have anything decent, or even great, then you are better off discarding manually and keepint it a secret that you are in tenpai?
How the fuck do you learn how to play mahjong? It has to be one of the most confusing games I've ever seen. And there's like a hundred different variants. Do you have to be Chinese to learn?
Anthony Smith
I don't like losing without any feeling of fun, so I'm giving up.
Cameron Cruz
I don't even know how to play i am just placing random tiles and pressing the chi and pon, etc buttons
Carter Collins
Both are viable startegies. Without Riichii, you can specifically target people since you can call your ron whenever you want on whoever you want. Riichii is an extra han, plus you get to check uradora.
Blake Fisher
You can also riichi to bluff the fact that you might have a big hand and that other people should fold, obviously not gonna work against newbies. If you have good waits anyway you can riichi for the yaku, might even get ippatsu.
Tyler Jackson
It's actually easy af and it clicks more with every game you play. Is started 2 days ago and already winning matches. Someone post the pic for retards thats how I learned it
It's hell learning it, I've been trying for weeks and I have so little to show for it. There may be many variations, but riichi is the only one that matters. Case in point: fucking chinks made a riichi mahjong game, CHINKS, who came up with the original idea.
Matthew Watson
The game is literally just draw and discard with some calls. All you need to learn is some yakus and maybe some border cases, but since you play online, those don't even matter. The rest is just logic. Use your brain a little and you'll win some.
Cameron Butler
Even in friendlies against anons, I just deal into every hand that reaches tenpai. Today's just not my day I think.
Michael Harris
>Use your brain a little What if you don't have a brain? Internet rotted mine away.
Kevin Jones
Mahjong has many rules at the start but they're not very complex. You'll get it with enough experience.
>Only succeed at all simples Why are the rest so impossible? Nothing ever comes even close to completion. Draw 40 and you are halfway done with a yaku.
Juan Turner
They are not very complex, but there are simply too many of them. The sheer number of and figuring out how and when they work together them makes it really hard for new players to get into it.
Xavier Stewart
If the 13 tiles in hand and your 18 discards can only do tanyao all the time, I'm rather questioning your observation and analytical skills.
Justin King
will we see mass exodus from catbros to onee san once they uncensor?
Wait until you find out what kan, pon, chii, and riichi is, and you have become a full-fledged nyagger.
Colton Edwards
Putting it in the description line moves it closer to being qualified as a general. The mods moved a thread to VG once because of it. Ctrl+f can find threads with the word in the original post just fine.
Adam Hill
not completely true If two guys throw your winning tile in the same round and you decline the first one, you are furiten on the second one until it's your turn again. That's why it's a good defensive idea to mirror the discards of someone before you btw.
Nolan Peterson
There are more yaku in the game than tanyao, pinfu, yakuhai and toitoi, my friend. Once you get your grasp around the game you will find that open chanta, sanshoku or itsu are easy to make. Open tanyao just forces the easiest way around and promotes low valued, dora chasing hands.
Noah Jackson
It doesn't help when all starting hands are scrambeled mess and 1 or 2 different honor tiles, which everyone tosses out immidiately so you ahve no chance of yakuing out of them. Everything boils down to all simples, everytime.
Big brain plays, use your bad luck in friendly matches and then go play ranked with the accumulated good luck
Aiden Adams
There is nothing that screams "bad player" more than crying about open tanyao and 1000 han ronners. If you are so much better than them, beat them and move on to the elite club. If you can't even do that, then maybe you should learn to deal with them.
Wyatt Richardson
>not hitting them with that after "Tsumo~ Goumenasai" for the extra tilt Whats wrong with you?
Ethan James
The Sorry emote is WAY better for that.
Dominic Smith
Well I know I ain't gonna roll for chars if they uncover her titties. And her alternative costume is trash so no reason to spend money there either.
Eli Butler
I feel like I just drew everything everyone else needed. I could've even won the last hand, but I needed a mangan or higher to drag this into west round, so I went with toitoi.
exactly, get creative people like are fit to play shit like dice, if you have open tanyao enabled every shitbrain can just win everything all the time based on luck. Once you grow up and know all the yaku it's fucking boring, you want to have the time to go big dick and you accept some draws for it.
Mason Wright
why the fuck have there been so many goddamn mahjong threads on Yea Forums lately also how the fuck do you play mahjong every time I get stuck trying to do that shit in a yakuza game I just click tiles until I run out of sticks still less confusing than shogi though
Nolan Foster
Reminder to learn to fold and let sometimes other players win. It can help you advance the rounds and secure 1st.
Aiden Gomez
Contrary to popular opinion All simples and Pinfu are not practical to go for every time. Pinfu especially.
The Yaku that will lead you to victory is Yaku that will open your hand (PLAY FASTER) while netting you decent Han. ToiToi, Junchan, and Chanta are all great to memorize because they allow you to work with terminal tiles in you starting hand instead of trying to dumping them and getting upset when you inevitably draw more.
I'm just bored of it. They easily play into my big dick hands at least once per south round and I would still win dealing into them purposefully for the rest of the game.
Lincoln Hill
A free full english online mahjong client just released, guess it got a lot of people interested in playing.
Nicholas Gray
>MMMOOOMMM, I WANT TO USE MY YAKUMAN. MOOMMMM, MAKE THEM STOP. Every time, lmao. There's a reason they're worth a shit ton of point, because they should be HARD to make. Removing any sort of pressure makes them less fulfilling, you faggot.
Jonathan Robinson
That's what makes mahjong occult af. The tile you draw on riichi turn is ippatsu. Don't waver because of your desires.
Levi Smith
since when is Yea Forums into mahjong? shit never made sense to me
Evan Howard
OK then keep trashing them until you reach higher rank instead of whining here.
I've been playing it in person for years and I'm really glad there is a decent free online client for it now that I've become more of a shut-in degenerate
Jonathan Bell
This game wouldn't even survive mobile version if there's no free gibsmedat
Austin Edwards
>Contrary to popular opinion All simples and Pinfu are not practical to go for every time. I know it's not practical, but that's what the game wants. I just draw until the hand starts to resemble something useful, and it's always too late to make anything complex.
Lucas Bailey
Yakuhai require risks
Ryan Cooper
"wisdom" the unenlightened faggot says while he still thinks Mahjong is 100% luck based and advocates hurting yourself and falling victim to intermediate big dick hands.
if you go for ToiToi I'll notice at your second call and can usually betaori by playing only stuff I see already on the field (because if it wasn't there you would've called it). I can purposefully discard shit worsening your hand which you'll then either not call/need or it'll pull your hand down. There's way too many ways to play around it.
The king's way is to look at your hand, look at your score, look at which wind you are currently and play accordingly.
If you sit comfortably in 1st, you might either just shorten the game and call like crazy or, if the hand is easy to read, go out of your way to make it harder to read and betaori accordingly.
If you need points and are Oya, go crazy, sure.
But if you call, you open your hand and decrease the count of stuff you can throw away safely which worsens your Defense.
John Torres
I think his point is that, if you know all yaku and have them in mind, you can pick the fastest relative to your starting hand. If you get a shit tons of 12/79 then it's relatively faster to go for something like a chanta rather than pursuing a far, far away tanyao. Maybe.
Tyler Hughes
They are slow to "go for." Every hand is slow if you are forcing your hand to go that direction. But in plenty of games you will start of with a terminal of each suit. Knowing the hand exist in the back of your mind will save you time trying to "force" pinfu, and let you go for chanta/junchan when your hand allows. Speed is about knowing how to get into Tempai as efficiently as possible
Blake Hall
Is banning open yakuhai even a thing, ever?
Cameron Lewis
I'm not even trashing them, we NashiNashi Players are not a hivemind. Also I was 4dan on Tenhou...

When are we getting an option to allow open riichi.
Jaxson Long
Yes
Jayden Ramirez
>betaori accordingly. What the fuck is betaori?
Jason Reyes
If you're 4th dan you shouldn't have a problem reaching gold room. I'm in adept 2 after 12 south games.
Colton James
When you "Fold" Basically you exclusively start discarding absolutely safe tiles. You tear your hand apart to remain safe.
Asher White
I've actually tried getting into it since the Japanese seem to be crazy about it, but all those """"beginner""""" guides are overwhelming as fuck.
Brody Butler
Dealing safe tiles to avoid getting ronned, even if it means breaking up your hand.
Tyler Wright
Is there a better feeling Mahjong than when everything suddenly clicks and you start seeing all the possible paths and branches your hand can take depending on your discards?
It's when you step down from the way of the alphaori and play safe discards the rest of the hand with no intention of winning.
Jonathan Flores
Im playing at gold room rn and ppl are pretty much joukyun level players and sometime a wild tokujou player show up and tear me a new hole. Not silver isnt that bad senpai.
Adrian Scott
It's just pattern matching.
Cooper Baker
I was lucky that I had a bunch of friends to explain it to me and just had to grind out games to understand not being in furiten. And also Yaku.
Landon Foster
>I'm in adept 2 after 12 south games. TFW Novice 2 after 25 games.
>Four melds of 3 plus pair! >At least one yaku Start with a few simple ones at first and work your way up
Carson Ross
When you play beta as fuck and give up and discard the safest tiles.
Brody Allen
Well, my hag might have some magical sand up her vagoo. Either that, or it's because chinks can't stop dealing in. I think 10 of those games ended with somebody busting out
Nathan Barnes
I got out of novice in 8 games I think. It's pretty easy if you know what you're doing. If you've just started with mahjong, you won't see such results of course..
Juan Carter
I've gotten a lot of wins waiting on a terminal/honour because those tanyao idiots can't help but drop it right into my lap
Liam Hughes
Or you just know how to play the game.
Samuel Baker
Don't worry user I've been stuck in Adept 1 for like 30+ south games now.
Angel Cruz
>I got out of novice in 8 games I think. I think it's time to quit, mahjong clearly isn't my place.
Stop comparing yourself to people who have probably been playing this game for years.
Gabriel Wood
I'm addressing this because you are being unnecessarily hostile for no reason. I've played Mahjong for all of 6 days. No I haven't reached the point where stronger players are playing defense well. Here are my stats, I don't every hand hoping to get lucky, my style is very boring actually as you can see. I don't go for big dick hands ever.
Relax, it isn't polite to make wild assumptions about someone who is just trying to help. I'm sure there are anons like me who literally only knew about pinfu, and open tanyo and would spend half the round managing terminals and honor tiles. I know I did.
Can I unlock new characters without using real money? I wanna play as cool beer girl.
Camden Fisher
It's when you make a hand so shit it actually overflows back to good and gives you a yaku for it
Thomas King
>Last place, final round in south >Didn't deal in but had terrible hands and draws, only made one shitty ron >First place deals into a haneman >Game ends with getting put in last instead Made the round worth seeing through.
Ethan Lee
Technically yes but in practice no
William Nelson
>4 times out of 5 you should riichi. Eh, I respectfully disagree. Although this is definitely a case of whether you see the glass half full or half empty. I don't think it's advisable to riichi willy-nilly. It can easily backfire hard.
James Wilson
>drop isolated 2 pin early on >could have won with closed chinitsu based on my draws if I kept it fuck this
I'd riichi only if I need it for yaku, or it's within my first 6 discard. I would consider it in the second row depending on waits. I would consider against it if you are in the 3rd discard row.
Jonathan Howard
by calling a yakuhai you are gaining a yaku but you lose two potential safe tiles, you also forfeit some yaku you can only have without open hand and without triplets, as well as without honor tiles, losing you some potential points. There's also always the possibility to draw the third wind yourself.
>Someone pons the haku and hatsu >I have the haku which is also the fucking dora of all things >Hold on to it and castrate my pretty good hand as a result >Look up the replay later >Some other guy at least three tiles from tenpai is holding onto the haku pair Couldn't be helped, but still annoying.
James Edwards
if you play a game for 6 days and already come here spouting "wisdom" you deserve the hostility
Brayden Garcia
Every time i try to get chanta or junchan without calling it takes forever, even when if i have a full hand of appropriate tiles. Some 4 or 6 will always fuck me up and the fact that people try to discard four 1s or 2s early on. In the end you'll be lucky to manage a hell wait for 1 tile but then it would probably be a better idea to keep dangerous middle tile in your hand and simply fold instead of going all out for 2-3 hand hand.
Carter Brown
Are you the guy from yesterday's lobby who always presses the call button?
jap word for alphaori btw is "mawashi-uchi" (discard-around), meaning you draw a non-safetile and make the effort to build it into your hand, usually changing waits.
Justin Allen
what do glowing tiles mean?
Lucas Jones
Pretty sure this describes at least 70% of the thread.
Colton Allen
dora more points if you have them in your winning tiles
They're radioactive, discard them immediately or they'll contaminate the rest of your hand.
Dominic Robinson
someone who's already losing and just wants to end it or see a big hand for fun.
Michael Myers
how is decided what dora is and isn't? Always random tiles or are they always red ones
Luke Lee
slow and fast, now this is luck based and strongly depends on your starting hand. You are however right, if you force hands from the start you will be slow as shit, take it from a dude who tried to hon-itsu everything for years straight and even won some rounds with that. I see it as intermediate play (you know the yaku but decide from the start). Expert Play begins when your hand flows like water, and you make smart discards always being aware of which Yaku's probability you are raising or decreasing by that discard.
If you want to get really technical, the objectively "fastest" hand would be Chitoitsu because it's never more than 6-shanten
Zachary Diaz
All they did was come off as elitist, and professional educators understand that insults have no place in a learning environment. All they needed to say was "Your strategy is short sighted. As you improve opponents will see your open hand and prevent you from stealing tiles." At my current rank it is valid strategy.
Jeremiah Young
It means they are dora meaning using them adds another han to your hand. Once I learned the basic yaku I found it helpful to start building hands around them If I got one with my starting hand.
Benjamin Reyes
I'm still climbing in silver because I have a job.
Aaron Gutierrez
>took 20 games to understand what calling actually ment I thought it was just extra points, but it seems to be just changing your tile in exhange for a better one opponent threw away and put the combo to the side.
Jose Gomez
Nah that guy was really funny, he discarded random tiles, called at every occasion even when he wouldn't have yaku and managed to bust out in two rounds by dealing into dealer's baiman while at 23k points
Joshua Rogers
well yeah, scoring a sneakily concealed or just impossibly fast big dick hand full of doras and see the UI choke on all the Yaku it has to display
Statistically, you win 1 out of 4 rounds and someone else wins the other 3, evenly distributed. So if you properly defend, you're bound to take at least second place. Even more so against inexperienced players who right now swarm the servers and get stuck in bronze.
Nolan Nelson
red dora are the 5s 5m 5p
Cooper White
is the only benefit to making a closed kan the drawing of an extra tile?
Angel Williams
Look at the top left for the dora indicator. If it's a 5 then the dora is the 6 of that kind of tile. For the dragons it's red > green > white > red. For winds it is east > south > west > north > east. Mahjong soul makes it even easier for you by making the dora tiles shiny so you don't have to think.
Samuel Williams
I love it when you can assemble a tricky dual wait on both a common tile and an honor tile that most expect to be safe.
Grayson Rivera
Might've been me
Evan Jones
>Red fives aren't dora Yes, they are. Stop talking out of your ass if you don't even know anything.
Ryan Brooks
exactly what I was abusing. Junchan-Iipeiko just feels like a really chunky dong.
>somebody riichis >draw chun same turn >hmm im iishanten might as well drop it, he might be waiting on yakuhai and have 2k at worst >3 concealed dora >12000 FUCCK MEEEEEEEEE
Fucking bullshit. Mahjong is so popular because it's still unpredictable, nobody can guarantee that experts with years of experience will win reliably against noobs because the noob could just get extremely fast tanyaos or the occasional big dick hand he knows.
If you want to quickly gain knowledge and rank from where you are right now, read up on defense. Just try betaori for once, it really helps keeping your valuable points. Learn patience and dealing with other people being lucky. Step down for a day if your draws are really shitting on you, there certainly are days like this.
Online Mahjong clients tend to at least stack the starting hands a tad favourably to make players stick to it as well, but it's chance based so there will be shit hands. Just see where those hands go, click the C and enjoy the internal rage while some good shit comes in (or see it crashing down while the opponents open their whole hand, telling you what not to deal anymore)
That and it makes your hand be considered "open", disabling you from achieving certain hands, and lowering the value of some others.
Aaron Morris
1st row: - if you just want the win, riichi now 2nd row: - if you have a good wait but no yaku, riichi here 3rd row: - riichi here if you're waiting on the 4th of 4 North winds or some advanced shit like triple waits, otherwise you just wasted 1000 points and put yourself in danger of dealing in
Also riiching in the 1st row can be the wrong move, let's say your last triple is 3-5 so you wait for a 4. You riichi, and next draw you pull a 6. Had you not riiched yet you could wait for 4-7 now.
It's the bread and butter of riichi, the most standard, flexible and combo-friendly hand. Basically if you want to win and sing a whole song describing numerous yaku you have, then go for pinfu.
Dora were introduced into nip mahjong to make cheating easier.
Nolan Carter
where the fuck do you think you are and who is "they" get back to whatever shithole spawned you
Bentley Peterson
>start playing >"fuck yeah so much fun I love this Game" >3 days later >"This game is a piece of shit I want to kill myself I WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN" why does it always happen. This game is dead now, what the hell I do now.
Depends on general level of play but yea it's generally harder to go for Junchan surrounded by Nyaggers and Pon-Palace fucks
The key is to discard dangerous middle shit right away (which blatantly tells them your wait but it's Nyaggers, who am I kidding) and keep EVERY viable tile until they actually flow over. Careful not to deal into Tanyao with overflowing 2-3/7-8 though. Or just go for Honroutou :^)
Jason Perry
I don't want to play anymore. I'd rather kill myself.
Jason Mitchell
>Some Nyagger Gets fucked in her cunny down to 5k points. >They turn it around by winning 3 in a row as dealer and jump back up to 40k, threatening my position. >Go full Nyagger and end the game as quick as possible with any quick hand I can make. Fuck dude, that had me nervous for a hot minute.
Because the tiles around the riichi discard are generally a little more dangerous than other tiles. You could have had something like 556 and discard the 5 for a ryanmen wait on 47 after all.
Hudson Miller
>average score 10k >average turns 13 How even?
Nolan Williams
Afraid of your riichi discard maybe?
Jordan Garcia
is just playing the game to "learn" it a decent strategy? I've basically read fuckall guides and just played the game
Hunter Smith
This is why full hanchan are better than shitty tonppusen, even if you get ronned in every hole at the start you still have your south dealer turn and oh boy if the comebacks aren't real.
just go the last step and build every single one of your hands with a 北 on your right. Only throw it when two Toitsu come together at the same time and you don't know which one to scrub off first (like 5-6-6 and 3-3-4 of two suits). If you manage to get your four Triplets, just wait on the 北 and enjoy your easy points because nobody ever expects the Pei
I doubt he thought that far. In any case, user has discarded 35s and 4s has passed. That'd mean he had 3568s from which he has discarded 3 and 5 for a closed wait for 7s. That doesn't make sense.
Jeremiah Harris
When that happens, it's time to rewatch Saki or read Ten or Akagi or whatever. Do some occult shit.
I have my Pei-chan Protection Squad Hoodie on when I play and the Goddess of the North Wind blesses me daily. Coincidence? yes of fucking course, SOA. It's fun to goof around with other Jongfriends tho
>It's fun to goof around with other Jongfriends tho Not if you lose
David Martinez
I am that stats. I'm totally a smurf, yeah. You are a smurf in this if you played Mahjong before, and I have yearly meetups with people where we do tourneys and shit. Most of them casually play online so the level is intermediate at the minimum, we also have some real magical sand fucks there and about half of them calculate points in their head.
I've played Janryuumon in 2010, Tenhou from when that became p2p onwards but once Win10 hit my PC I couldn't combine the icon for the desktop client with the payloader anymore and quit for a while, now this is out and I'm eager to unlock the waifus. But you have to climb for that.
So yeah, basically I am a smurf.
Gabriel Phillips
I fucking hate wind tiles get out of my hand you little shits
This is what happens if you wait too long to discard those little shits. they're a nuisance unless you have them early in the game.
Anthony Miller
I've played against Yea Forums here which is no stakes against pretty new players and I still get dopamine hits and extreme concentration while playing. It's the perfect blend of unpredictability (luck) and skill with 100% replayability
going for EVERY hand until it hurts to throw non-safe tiles helps a lot. I play really fucking aggressive but usually don't call, add some Nyaggers kanning everything makes for easy 12k+ when you ron their little cunts
It's a shit description with a shit example, cause your actual hand doesn't matter. You win by discarding only terminals and honours with none of them being called by an opponent and the game going to a draw. Your actual hand doesn't even need to be in tenpai, you just have to be so unlucky that it loops back into a mangan.
>and no one has called them Shit, didn't know that. No one calling any of them seems more unlikely than getting enough of those tiles and no one winning in that round.
Zachary Gray
you wouldnt let your daughter dress like this, would you Yea Forums?
>Get big hand round 1 >Just try to Tanyao the remainder of the game to maintain lead >Literally all I can draw are Honor tiles while the other 3 are getting turn 2/3 riichis
If you have a yaku that lets you have an open hand, yes.
Jayden Moore
how many of those were in your starting hand?
If it's more than 3 and at least one pair I start collecting.
Jack Diaz
I'd rather give up.
Charles Thompson
Specific Yakus decrease a Han if you Pon Chi or Kan. those are the calls they are specifically talking about. If you want more Han, rather, if you want to take a bigger risk, then keep your hands closed.
Blake Clark
I like the fact that this is the actual text. Read those chapters in Japanese recently.
why are you still in this thread then? am I the only one comforting you?
Ethan Bell
Do people usually ditch their single dragon tiles and only keep the pairs? Because I like to hold on to each one I get at least until I see another one of it being played. Helps me get a desperate yaku if I draw a second one early on, and has the added bonus of pissing off people waiting on their pon. Until I really need to make some room, I just like hoarding dragons, man.
You deserve it, you changed into a nyagger since the last time I saw your mug.
Benjamin White
It's ok but remember that discard reading is voodoo for the most part
Luke Reed
"Efficiency" losers will always tell you to discard any you don't have a pair of. I like to wait until at least one gets discarded. I have the absolute worst luck of throwing away honor tiles and then immediately drawing them.
Robert Clark
What are you keeping the hatsu for? Especially when someone discarded it last turn.
Jacob Reed
why do adepts come to bronze and bully me?
Ryder Nguyen
Once I see the basic shape of my hand or how Chiba calls this, 5 blocks, I get rid of dangerous tiles as soon as possible and living honors are up the list of dangerous.
Eli Allen
please user, try it for another day. do it for me. You can do it.
I wasn't even half of the replies, the whole thread is with you since we all went through that hell
Parker Sanchez
Yes it is.
No it's not.
Ian Sullivan
One more person is welcome.
Cooper Sanders
If you only have a single honor tile, trash it. There are some scenarios where you want to hold on to it, like preventing an opponent from getting a fast hand early, or waiting with the honor as an uncompleted pair, but at your level of play you're seriously better off getting rid of any foreign wins and un-paired honors and going for pinfu tanyao instead
Luis Ortiz
>need 30 points to rank even a second place will do >-100 4th place Fuck you game I'm back to watching anime.
You shall now be my brother, I'm the dude telling everyone to keep the 北 to fuck with people.
as long as you know what to discard instead it's even viable. think about it - winds are usually pretty safe to discard, if you keep them long enough they might gracefully let you just fucking bail.
Adam Brooks
don't give advice if you obviously don't know what you're talking about
Jackson Diaz
Just started, played one match. It was basically pon-palace and "tanyo - the game". Is this the average game in bronze? how is silver?
Ayden Reyes
It literally is because it's all about ryanmen waits.
Thomas Scott
don't confuse play style choices with advice you dumb cunt
Dominic Lee
play south
Thomas Watson
lf>gotta go fast people, 60328
Jordan Russell
Yes, because Shousangen and Daisangen are a pain in the ass Yakus If you don't have 2 or more in your hand. they're the embodiment of trying to get Yakuhai but you can't because the third tile you need is either at the very bottom of the draw pile, or someone is keeping it in their hands to get the opened Yaku they need when you finally discard it.
>People who never played the game >People who played the game for years
Anthony Butler
only until you descend into sanmen entry-level waits or disgusting shit like 5-6 waits.
Elijah Rivera
Why are you confusing a play style choice with advice? Efficiency losers just want to get into Riichii ASAP without taking into account what they can actually make.
Jordan Morales
>double ron'd oof
Lucas Wilson
I feel like there are people from 10 years old to 40 years old, as well.
and sitting on honor tiles forever on the chance you could draw another for a chance at a single yaku when you could be building a better hand is retarded
I did when I was playing riichi in Tabletop Simulator. It's nothing special, really.
Jeremiah Jones
2 places finally. Get in.
Mason Diaz
Guess I'll come back and try to regain my dignity after that double ron
Aaron Brown
mahjong calculators are a thing
Luke Lee
>Tabletop Simulator >IRL
Julian Wright
Shit's hard, hope you get better luck this time. full
Grayson Lopez
It actually IS feasible to get a new char out of dust rolls if an event with easy to buy dust materials is going, so fucking chinks now use un-dustable gifts during the events. Looking forward to see how it will go down on EN server.
Robert Martinez
It's okay but not much more than that. Other than sucking pinfu's dick the manga isn't particularly good at mindgames, the mahjong is kind of decent I guess.
Ian Scott
Ok, I will. For you and all others. Sorry for this shitty drama, I'm a bipolar mess.
Camden Martinez
5 numbers outta 5 blocks, how it was won, put that together, get something like "2han 40 fu", look at the table to get the point result
>Toitoi That shit is suuankou material dude. It can switch to all terminals with a 1p and be played open, but it's also in 1shanten for another yakuman.
wind order is something i dont understand but are you saying that it's North -> East -> South -> West?
also is this for both the dora indicator order as well as the way the wind turn order shift amongst players?
Adam Sullivan
American Mahjong is bullshit.
Dominic Cruz
Mahjong winds are mirrored from the compass though, so looking at the turn order in the center is better. As for dragons, hatsu (green dragon) is pronounced the same as the word for "first", and chun (red dragon) literally has the kanji for middle on it. Then you fill in the blank space with third one.
Gavin Price
Is there a way to switch wind indicators in mid to kanji? The roman letters confuse the hell out of me
Ethan Allen
Play in the japanese website
Oliver Scott
Just remember Hatsujou Nakadashi Paipan instead 発情中出しパイパン
Does the game automatically end if somebody goes into the negative?
Chase Kelly
Dora.
Nathan Reed
More dora, chance at rinshan, more uradora. No reason NOT to if you're already riichi.
Jose Sullivan
I would say yes if you have a good chance of hitting your win. If you have good draws more dora at the end of the screen is good. You dont kan when you have a chance of not winning
Yes. More Dora, UraDora and Rishan Kaihou Yaku. Better if you're the only riichi in the game.
Levi Brown
I haven't been in tenpai in so long I don't even remember what it's like. My hand never comes together. I just discard my draw for 20 turns and get ron'd on.
How do these people get turn 2/3/4 riichi's every round.
Aiden Jackson
>His pool doesn't have any man tiles. >Still deals a man tile.
Unbelievable how you can have such terrible fucking luck Not a single starting hand worth shit in the whole 8+repeats rounds Not once did draws get me anywhere except fucking pinfu or tanyao at best, not even fucking dora Meanwhile there were 7 or 8 riichis within the first 10 rounds among the others, and at least 4 of those went into menzen tsumo
Nathaniel Butler
Unless you're taking a risk for san kantsu or Rinshan, just stick to discarding useless tiles until you get Tsumo or Ron.
Aiden Smith
yeah, those guys are smarter
I still havent figured out how get those copper things
you just said you discard your draw for 20 turns thats extremely rare to have gotten that unlucky... learn more yaku or just look at your hand differently, dont chase one single set of tiles and throw everything that isnt that away
you can reshape the course of your hand multiple times throughout the game and go for different tenpai ready setups just go with the flow and be water my friend
Just focus on getting at least 1 of your/round wind tile triplet or any dragon triplet and just ron/chii like a proper nyagger.
Parker Reyes
Silver or above only. But it also costs copper to play, and if you score badly you don't win it back.
Julian Murphy
This must be the secret to all those super powers.
Samuel Richardson
Only if you are a cute girl
Noah Bell
You can't get chankan'd with a closed kan (unless it's the last terminal/honor for a kokushi but you won't ever be in that scenario in your life) There is literally no reason to not call kan after a riichi.
Jackson Johnson
what the fuck is even
Jeremiah Murphy
Concealed hand, open dick.
Asher Butler
Why do people who don't know what the stats mean make posts about them.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
so I have to pay coppers in order to get them. What do I do If I run out of coppers?
Jayden Stewart
how much star dust did you huff for that luck?
Luis Howard
Extra fu can push your score higher. For example if you already have 4 han, having a triplet of any kind in your hand will push it to mangan usually.
James Cooper
Are the Miyamoris just standing in a public park naked?
Robert Baker
It's pretty cute that this game is still achieving bump limits, when it should have died off 1 week ago.
There should be a calculator that suggests yakus based on the situation. It's too hard to pick one because if it'll all goes down the toilet you are fucked.
