Mahjong Soul

The stick with 1 dot is how many riichi bets (1000 points each) are in the pot. When a round draws after a riichi, that player's riichi stick stays in the pot for whoever wins next. The stick with 8 dots is just the honba counter, it gets added to in a draw or when the dealer wins, and a win is worth 300 extra points for each honba counter. It resets to zero after a normal non-dealer win

say 8 pin shows up, that means 9 pin is the dora.

Mahjong is clearly the most popular sport in the world now. What we need is a new board devoted entirely to mahjong.

Next in sequence. if the indicator is a 9. 1 is the dora. N>E>S>W>N/ Wh>G>R>Wh

/vg/ general when? or should we use the one at /jp/?

>>costs money to play in silver
what the fuck
the game didn't even tell me

you get welfare money every day if you drop below a certain amount anyways, so you'll never be permanently locked out

The dora is the NEXT tile after the one shown in the top left.
So if it is 1-pin, then the dora is 2-pin, if it's 9-man, then the dora's 1-man.
For winds/dragons the order is White > Green > Red and East > South > West > North.
There's also Ura (hidden) Dora which is only opened and used if someone wins by riichi and you can't really plan for it.

There's daily welfare for adept and up. Imagine collecting welfare to spend on gambling though.

It costs bronze which you should have a ridiculous amount of
If you run out you get a free daily welfare check of them

yo-star are the same guys behind Azur Lane, right? How far are they planning to go with this game without making it outright p2w? Just cosmetic collectibles and such? Maybe an actual story and side-quests?

You get coins back depending on your place/game points though. Getting 2nd place is usually just enough to offset the entry price (I think it's 500 coints in Silver, higher in Gold and above). First place gets you enough coins for 3-4 tickets. 4th place makes you lose quite a lot (~3 ticket prices at least, more if you lose hard in negatives).

How do you know which wind round you're on? I only see East 1-4 on the middle.

East.

The developer is Cat Food Studio, yo-star are just publishing it

It happens, I got face crushed feeding into hands trying to come back from that double ron in the first match

Does that ever change? I know the seat one does with every round, but what about the prevailing wind or whatever?

All four seats rotate counter clockwise every round, unless the dealer wins. The prevailing wind changes from East to South once East rotates back to the first player.

> The prevailing wind changes from East to South once East rotates back to the first player.
It does? I've never noticed it change.

Prevailing wind is whatever it says it is in the middle.

You just answered your own question. Unless you you mean seat wind. That one indicated on your side of the table.

Well only if you're queuing for full south games, if you do "east" it ends after east 4.

Jesus Christ. How fucking long are those games? It usually takes 45 min for an East match to finish.

>It usually takes 45 min for an East match to finish.
No it doesn't, what the fuck

Depends on whether you play East(1 round) or south (2 rounds starting with east, then goes to south). There is also an additional case where a new round starts if everyone is below 30k points. So East round can go to South and South round can go to West

How the fuck do you make an account on this bullshit? Just keeps verification failing me when I put in the email code.

Like all gambling, Mahjong's only skill-based over long stretches of time.

Even then, a few of the more prominent players play with house rules to make it more fun (no discarding dora, no discarding honors and terminals early on just so you can spam tanyao, no riichi with weird waits).

All I can really suggest is to hold onto your dragons to counter yakuhai spam and go for ~mangan-level hands to counter the tanyao spam. I've won tons of spammy rooms like that. You'd be amazed how much more it slows down your opponent when you hold onto their dragon than when you discard it. Plus, if you have 1 dragon and they have 2, and you decide to tanki-wait on the last one, you usually win way bigger than they do.

>Even then, a few of the more prominent players play with house rules to make it more fun (no discarding dora, no discarding honors and terminals early on just so you can spam tanyao, no riichi with weird waits).

I find it curious that this ancient board game shares the one Achilles Heel of all games, be them board or vidya, from the Orient:

They're needlessly fucking convoluted and complicated.

>sitting in first place in the last round
>im dealer
>2nd and 3rd place arent far behind
>4th place is desperately trying to make an open tanyao for some reason as quickly as possible

it's really about as complicated as your regular old card game

>ancient
It's not even 200 years old

nerf dora
nerf red 5

>deal into it on purpose
How do you know which tiles he needs?

if it were any more simple, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun

just guessing based off his discards, it took a few tries

best you can do is deal dangerous tiles

2-8 of any set, probably ones that haven't been seen

They're literally all the simple as shit. Maybe not western AAA tier simple but still borderline mindnumbing.

how do you do this?

you need specific ones to unlock the 5bond costume

I see, thanks.

learn what furiten is and figure out how to apply it

How do I get more characters other than the first one (chick with big tits)?

Just look up general defense stuff, "folding" is when you give up on actually completing your hand and only discard defensively so someone either tsumos or (ideally) someone else deals in and you lose no points.

The easy way is to just discard stuff already discarded by the person you're folding against, but it gets a little more complicated once you run out of 100% safe tiles like that.

"Folding" in mahjong just means to attempt only discarding safe tiles even if you dismantle your hand. Look up "betaori".

Is the game more or less luck-based than poker? I feel like I have agency, but it might as well just be dazzled by the novelty.

The gods of Mahjong favored them that game. There's nothing you can do about it other than just not lose until the flow comes back to.

Riichi Mahjong? Hell yes. Dora make it so much more luck based on who gets how many points.

About the same as online poker, less than actual poker.

It's not about the gambling unlike stuff like Kirinji, the author uses the game as a mean to talk about death and human flaws

>Sounds literally impossible to enforce.
Online, yeah. Not in person.

It's to add some restrictions to riichi. At high levels of play, riichi's the new open tanyao - people spam it constantly. Mangans are the most efficient hand and the easiest way to get them is riichi + tanyao + menzen + a dora / uradora. Riichi just needs a few nerfs, and nerfing the quality of waits and shit makes it harder to get.

>some old nip fart

I'm a bit tired of these cat zergs and the second/third places. They instantly know I'm not their kind probably because of the normally capitalized roman alphabet name and unite against my dealer turn to shit out the fastest round ender possible.

Which is why you pay 1000 points before you use it. If you want to restrict riichis, just increase their cost.
Restricting the waits feels like it would affect strategies too much.

Got a fabled turn 2 Riichi and it was an ippatsu to boot, but it had no dora so it only gave me enough points to tie second place, so it stuck me in third.

It's not like he could have improved the hand, except by drawing a red 5 or something. Riiching here and hoping for reverse dora is the only thing to do.

I'm not at my desktop anymore but I have a pic of the YMI set from Amazon an anom posted earlier

I also have a good pic of an Amos Gabin set, which you can import for about $10 more than the YMI after shipping. If you'll be here in 10-11 hours I'll post them, I've been lurking these threads non-stop since they started so just gimme a hollar tomorrow and I'll post them for you

Just don't play East-only (tonpusen, tonpu). Everyone is a dealer only once and it's like the buffet where you eat all you want but just for 10 minutes.
Play Hanchans (South). This way usually all the speedy twinks got punished by solid game, especially if it's not three of them vs one you - meaning better rooms than bronze and probably silver. You'll sill feel a lot of "they are gathering too fast they are lucky" although you yourself lack efficiency and so retarded shit like kokushi from starting 7 terminals and honors or toitoi from three pairs.

I got scared and panicked, ok. The ron button popped up and I slammed that motherfucker, but unfortunately that guy that dealt my tile was the guy already in 4th.

I should have waited for first or second to deal it, I know that.

Attached: 1536465003655.png (421x500, 151K)

I would say it's around the same level as poker. In both games luck affects things a lot in short term, but if you're a good player you WILL climb over time. Riichi's whole defense game via furiten adds a ton of skill and lets you play patient and defensively much like poker.

Wouldn't Mahjong technically be under /tg/?

You would have been in furiten had you passed on that ron after calling riichi, so unfortunately there's not much you could have done

Not entirely sure how that helps me, chief. I googled how the YMI set looks and surely enough, it's nothing like the one my country has up for grabs. Maybe you also missed the part where I pretty clearly implicated that I'm not in the US, so YMI shipping won't work unless I slap a 40 euro bonus for Amazon.

Attached: random.png (795x526, 206K)

pro tip: don't give away the game information for free. If you don't need the 2345 form anymore, drop 2 not 5. Same, if you have to choose between a tile and a dora neighbor keep the dora neighbor, even if it steals one of the yaku from you. Have extra pair to drop? Pick the one which is from the popular dropped tiles, not the rare ones. Don't give away information about doras and reds for free, and about the rarer suit in the game. Middle-game you'll notice how one particular suit is the rarest while one or two of the others are not. Abuse this, this helps to predict which form in your hand has more chances to grow into the complete sequence.

>It's a Kanigger gives some other guy free dora then get ronned episode
Other guy went from last to first on a dealer streak with back to back 3-5 turn tenpais too and I had to settle for 2nd by virtue of not dealing in

hover over the stats and it tells you

To raise ATK, get a good amount of points from winning. To raise DEF, you need to not get called by other players for your tile.
The question mark button will tell you everything.

I finished Akagi anime yesterday, that was a bit out of nowhere

read the manga from where it leaves off, it goes hard right out the gate with crazy shit

The manga finished in 2017. The end of the anime is a reference to Ten, the original manga of the author that finishes Akagi's story (and his magnum opus)

if you go up from adept to master or whatever, can you get demoted back down?

You can still win by Tsumo if you're in furiten.

i know but its still annoying

Why can't I just buy characters
I dont wanna waste money on the chance to get anyone not Nadeshiko

you can only watch friend rooms

the spirit of mahjong is to lose all your money to rng, now go whale out user

when are we getting the app
when are we getting the 1st chapter of mamiya

don't you hate it when you know someone's waiting on the honor you're about to discard but it can't be helped because not dropping it would slow your hand down way too much to justify

fucking half-flush bitch stop ponning my shit

The rule is really important for defense, furiten in all its forms is what lets better players keep their points instead of the whole game being an RNG clusterfuck.

in that situation i suppose its fair, if i riichi i cant wait for the 7 unless im betting on tsumo but i get +1 han from the riichi anyway
if i dont riichi i can wait for the 7 and get +1han from iipeikou
if im lucky ill get them both with riichi and ron on a 7

Sounds like you should consider selficide.

you can still play bronze or with us

If you fucked up to sense a pairs round early, go toitoi with the tanyao possibility open but be aware enemies are getting lots of pairs too. So try to not deal in with a stray live wind.

i didnt think you could play bronze as expert

bronze is novice+adept only

I guess buy copper or wait until you can use revival again

I meant you draw a 1 pin, have no 1 pins so you discard it, then you draw another 1 pin, so you discard that, then next you draw a 4 sou, but have no 4 sou, so you discard it, and then draw another 4 sou, and then after that you draw a 5 pin, but you have no 5 pin, so you discard it, and then draw a 5 pin.

Continue for entire game.

I'm also a fan of having a tanyao hand, and drawing literally nothing but honors and terminals.

whats YOUR point? as i said previously, it doesnt affect whether i get good or bad draws

There's no difference between drawing 10 tiles chosen randomly from a pool of 40 tiles and drawing 10 tiles from a pool of 10 tiles chosen randomly from a pool of 40 tiles.

event tab, there's (4,5k silver room 9k gold room 18k master room) every day if you are under this certain amount. Basically you absolutely go and blow your copper on green gifts if you have 15k+, on a random one if you dust them or on the gems for the girl and cookies for the catgirl if you are feeding them.

Being a cat is glorious

You see that shit on the top left? That's a dora indicator. Each dora

ah whatever I'm too tired, someone else will explain

arcturus.su/wiki/Dora

dora = extra points
dora = next tile in sequence
dora = shiny

One of the things I didn't quite get about the rules of Mahjong is that the option to Pon or Chi isn't always available. Is there a specific criteria for those moves?

Pic related is what I used to play. It's a flash I managed to download with a FF extension. I stopped months ago, I just wanted to understand this to get some peace of mind.

Attached: 2356774.png (1920x967, 322K)

chi is only useable if they're on your left
pon should always be doable unless you're in riichi

chi is always the wind to your left, pon is anyone

Finally got expert 3 today with a bombastic yakuman win (my first on MJS). How is your day going user?

I need 8 more points to get out of nyavice

what the.
Was there a japanese language setting?

Got it. Thank you.

the tile flipped in the top left indicates the next tile in the sequence is worth a big point, or han. The ura dora (hidden dora) is revealed when a player who has called Riichi wins their hand. Bear in mind though, having han =/= having yaku. Sequences for dora, unlike sequenced sets, DO loop 9 back to 1. The honor sequences are ESWNE, same as the table/rounds, and the dragons are RWGR. Hope that helps. Also hope I'm not messing anything up, I'm really tired. Please doublecheck me.

You just have to lose 6 games in a row

Consider this: people who play in rooms below their 'norm' get way less points for wins (1-2 places), and lose a lot more points for losses (3-4 places), so they really stand to gain nothing from playing there. The only reason they do it is because they eat shit in their own rooms, desperately trying to escape to rooms with 'easier players', not understanding that they are the problem, not the players around them.

I'm getting closer to Jade, but so far, every single Master I've seen in Gold room has been a complete shitter who ended up in negatives.

there's no reason you can't keep closed a yaku that's allowed open.

You can set it for friendly rooms.

Yeah and the wishing stones are the hardest mat to get. You need to roll the dust gacha 10 times. Although once you max bond the character her battle exp accumulates into blue gift which is dustable so there's no difference on how you manage your gifts, dust and then bond or bond and then dust however it's only about the gifts which are not cookies (catgirl) or gems (fattats), because they give 150% bond to them.

>call rate 80%
Lower that to around 30% and you should be halfway there.

The only 10 wishing stones I have are from Soul Enlightener, I don't think you can get any more welfare wishing stones unless you get a duplicate character. I'm keeping those 10 just in case I get Yui, because she's the only one I really want to upgrade. Currently I have Kana almost at 5, but I'm definitely not wasting those 10 wishing stones on her special form. ;_;

Oh right, forgot that you can also buy wishings through these. I currently have 56 faiths, but knowing my shit luck I'm prepared to end up with 150 of these without hitting Yui - so I'd rather keep stocking them up while holding on to welfare wishing stones, unless I magically get Yui while on the way there.

I really dread the chance of getting Nadeshiko. I hate her stupid fucking face, voice and overall type of personality so much, she literally tilts me in games, and I ended up turning off her FUCKING STUPID VOICE AAAAAAARGH. Thinking about the prospect of seeing HER during summons makes me shudder. If that happens, I'll at least attempt dropping yostar's support an email asking whether they can disenchant her into wishing stones for me.

Keep in mind that you get 10 'free' wishing stones by spending a bit of USD. You're going to need real money to get the faith birds anyway, but you won't need to spend those faith birds on wishing stones if you only need to 'upgrade' one character - those 10 welfare wishing stones would be enough.

That shit still can save you by getting you a nyanpai

If you get 3-4 places in Silver room and above, you lose copper which is required to play. If you get below a certain point, you can get a welfare check for some coppers every day.

You can, but it's very unlucky.
Shop->Fortune: you can see Summon Scrolls there. They are limited stock, which apparently restocks every month (I'm not 100% sure myself, but that's what someone has told me), and cost 50 dust. You get dust by disenchanting gifts you can get in Silver room and above. Disenchant all you get, buy those scrolls, and try your luck with these 3 summons.

Personally, I have summoned 56 times so far, and only got 1 character.

What is the downside to Kanning? I keep hearing people say things like this / all the replies to it but I don't get why? It adds another dora but isn't that just as likely to affect you as anyone else?

Learn to read first.

By your own logic it has a 1/4 chance of helping you and 3/4 chance of killing you.

Goddamn, nyagger, nice last minute upset with that sanshoku.

oh that yeah, thats the second time i managed to not get into furiten but i have no idea how to win

But everyone but me is stupid

Your objective is to win the overall match. Not to optimize your own score every hand.

This is the case for every aspect of the game. The dora would be affecting all four players equally. It can't affect everyone negatively, that doesn't make sense.
It has a 1/4 chance of helping you greatly and a 3/4 chance of hindering you to a minor degree.

a good pointer when you are a shitter that doesn't know yaku is:
either go full triplets or full sequences, don't mix.
if you pon'd a dragon tile, you already secured a yaku, so just call whatever you want and collect the shitty low-value hand, better than losing.

It works just like calling pon does. It counts as a set/triplet/ankou, whatever you want to call it, for all the usual yaku.

it creates a dora bomb with a random length fuse

Attached: oldcat.jpg (500x468, 61K)

room where, i'd make one but i don't trust my internet

You need to have at least 1 yaku to win. I suggest you to memorize at least popular ones, like pinfu, tanyao, yakuhai. You don't need to memorize all yakumans right away, just focus on simple hands. Then you should play the game and keep in mind which yaku you're building every time.

Attached: 35897-734730822.jpg (512x288, 20K)

I swear I'm going to commission ryona smut of this fucken cat.

But it's one extra tile.

Perhaps the best scenario when not to do it: when another player(s) has declared riichi.
Normally if they win, they gain access to one uradora. Perfoming a kan, and every one after, will give them two additional doras which could potentially raise their score. Which ultimately is the inherent risk of kanning - potentially adding more value to an opponent's hand.

Yes, it can be beneficial. But there's also three opponents and only one of you. So saying it's just as likely to affect you as anyone else is being woefully careless.

GUESS WHO JUST WON THEIR FIRST HAND GUYS, THE GUY THAT CAN'T CAN'T STAY OUT OF FURIKEN!! or is it furitan.. i dont remember but this is fun even if i dont nkow how to play

Attached: ghjcfsghvbnm.jpg (929x511, 139K)

Making a kan locks your hand leaving you with less defending options, if someone else riichis you'd have the most probability of dealing.
Also making a kan most of the time doesn't even advance your hand most of the time.
It is a good tactic if you are last and with nothing to lose. Everywhere else is suicide specially if you are first (since you win nothing by getting a big hand while your opponents are waiting for it)

It lets absolute madlads cuck you with a 4-kan draw if you insist on kanning whenever possible.

i kan whenever i'm getting fucked in the ass
otherwise the odds are stacked against you and someone else is more likely to benefit from it

The person with riichi gets dara AND ura dora. The person who calls open kan gets just a dora. There's already a disadvantage against riichi players. Better don't do kans unless you're behind by a lot of points or you're in tempai already and can riichi right after.

Just aim for the 4kan yakuman everytime.

-You need a yaku to meet the qualifications of a winning hand
-winning with the last discarded tile in the game is a yaku
-it's your only yaku
it means the only way for your weird hand to get value was exactly to win with the last discard in the game, which is extremely lucky and a reckless bet for the low value it had

Yes, each 8 pin will be worth 2 han

Does a close Kan count as two pair for the seven pair Yaku?

I find it funny that people suggest pinfu as one of the first yaku to learn. It's very easy to do once you know how it works, but at the same time it's probably the most complicated yaku. Every otehr yaku can be explained in one maybe two sentences at least.

What the fuck is under the sea

why on earth would you spend so much money on a jpg?

No

winning with the last tile of the round

>Nadeshiko
Chuuni cake design done really meticulously, like, she doesn't even have a family name, and her KAN and CHII sound drunk as fuck. Kana doesn't look like idol, her clothing fucking blows. Most girls look better clothed than her.

Last draw or last discard. I can't remember which.

No, it doesn't. If you're going for seven pairs, and you draw a third tile of a pair, either discard it or change your hand towards All Triplets.

I know we all hate nyaggers, but the real, most absolute faggots are the ones that fold to 9 terminal initial draw instead of going for 13 orphans

Just remembered that online mahjong is more of a don't get last game rather than going for the win.
If you play with this mentality you'll understand why those high risk moves are never optimal. Unless you are last (and in the last rounds) in that case everything goes. Also you'll climb faster if you almost never place last rather than having an all over the place performance.

Last tile in the pool and you tsumo that

What if I don't declare it and just keep all 4 of them in my hand?

kan is considered a triplet

good job.
Until you know what to do, just go for the richii route.
it's more luck based that way, but when you knows nothing, it's luck based anyway.

>Patrician high IQ tier

Wait, really? Could have sworn I won with it once.

Guys who do i reroll for in this game?

what were they thinking?
>Hey you are good enough now, so we are going to punish you by letting you only play a few matches a day.

The same logic could be applied to literally any other aesthetic pleasure spendings as well as hobbies. There's nothing wrong with spending money on things you like, things that give you a dopamine charge, regardless of how short it is. People who sperg out about how other people spend the money their earned, constantly screeching that a human being should only spend money on basic living needs, are literally worse than commies.

>nyagger neets can pon and chi all day and get free handouts from the government
>meanwhile i have to work hard to maintain my copper supply

>Finally, the pairs must be distinct. A group of tiles forming ankan does not count as 2 tile pairings.
seems like the game is too much for a brainlet like you.
Maybe consider going for a simpler game?

true bro, who needs food and drink when there's a new waifu png to collect

i mean they may not have implemented that rule in the game

currently 23:52 in japan

If you could selectively pick what you wanted for a reasonable price, I would agree. But it's completely random.

Keep working you hags.

Are chinks always high on caffeine or something?

thats just how chinese mahjong works

Just win bro.

Is this game good for beginners, I'm trying to learn to watch Akagi

Well, I'm 1/3 of my way towards Yui. You get 1 faith for every 'lootbox', characters cost 150 faith, smaller things cost 50 I think. If I don't get Yui by the time I open 150 boxes, I'll be able to selectively buy it. Sure, it's far from being able to just go and buy what I want, but at least not completely random like in Path of Exile.

This thread is almost ded

It's beginner friendly yes.
