Mahjong soul

To the user who recommend the AMOS Gavan set of Mahjong from Amazon JP.

What color is the Green dragon and the Sou tiles?
It looks like it's fucking black from the pictures.

Not the user but im sure they wouldnt use black for green ink.
hope you dont get ripped off

>What color is the Green dragon and the Sou tiles?
>It looks like it's fucking black from the pictures.
It is, and you should probably give up hopes of finding a Japanese set that uses green ink. They are stupid, shockingly rare. They just use a lighter hue of black so that at first glance you get the impression of green. They do the same thing with the pin tiles, they're not actually blue.

The only Japanese sets I have ever found that had actual green ink were crazy, defective-level cheap, or intensely expensive. Chinese sets use green ink, but the designs are slightly different, and the red fives will be DIY.

Why, it's not like I would ever become a pro or make money with this. It's pointless to go through that much of agony for nothing. I could just watch my walls 18 hours straight.

I prefer the chinese sets myself. having fatter tiles feels nicer.

I mean, it's fine if you give up. The game won't be for everyone. But the fact that you're lingering around tells me that you're really just feeling sore at your bad luck and want to be convinced to be pulled back in. The only real things we can do for you though is review your logs and tell you what you did wrong, or for you to git gud.

Either you aren't learning from your mistakes or you play east which is luckshitter central and you're getting the short end of the stick.

>want to be convinced to be pulled back in.
Quite the opposite, I want people to convince me to stop for good and kill myself not joking, that is what I want.

Wah wah. Shut up and keep playing, faggot. Nobody cares if a neet gives up on life, you whiny baby.

Open letter to Mods and Jannies

Can mods please only move this to /vg/ after like a month or so?
This is probably a flavor of the month game, but it hasn't even been TWO WEEKS yet.
Vast majority of posters here are complete newbies who are still learning as you can see from the discussion in mahjong threads.
I hope this can stay in Yea Forums so it can gain exposure to lurking new players out there who might be interested without needing to seek the threads on /vg/
I really love mahjong and I hope this game can grow big outside Japan too.

Thanks for understanding.

It's hard to have fun when all you want to do is break shit.
Theres no point to get ever mad at video games, but tell that to my mind.

Seconding this. I only learned of the games existence because I saw the thread more than once and was curious. I'm having a great time playing with people at my skill level and the discussion is mainly gameplay based.

Lost 12000 when I dealt into , then got all of it back the next round and finished with this hand coming in 1st.

Yeah the hand was worth 4 han and I think 30 fu. It was Riichi Ippatsu with an Ura Dora, Red Five and Pinfu

>meme myself into a hell wait riichi in the last hand
>win a bullshit haneman because of luck with the uradora
>go from 4th to 1st
I think this semen slurping game is definitely for me

Ah never mind it.
I thought you/he said you/he won the 12,000 points back with that hand, but for that you/he'd need a Haneman ( at least 6 Han ).
>It was Riichi Ippatsu with an Ura Dora, Red Five and Pinfu
That's 5 Han user.
Still a Mangan tho.

CHII--CHOTTO!

how the fuck do people have extra characters already? you need so much copper or even $$$ to get one. Am I missing something or are people really just whaling in a game that still browser only?

how to get better at reading discards? only thing i can notice is when people go for full/half flush or all simples. outside of those i have no idea what people are building

What

Just disable that shit in the settings.

There's something I learnt from Akagi.
Check your opponent's early discards, like if someone discards a 4P in example, then he continues to discard honor tiles and or terminal tiles, that means 2,3P might be safe.

That's something I've been using for a while now and it fucking works when I am out of 100% safe tiles.

I don't think mahjong is for me...

>I don't think mahjong is for me...
It's not for me everyone it's not for me either.

Playing it in person can help a lot, people who play mahjong and have tiles generally love helping new players out. It can be hard to find groups to play with though, especially if you live in the middle of nowhere

How different is Riichi Mahjong from Hongkong Mahjong?

There's a Mahjong club not too far from where I live, but they play Hongkong Mahjong.

A quick read shows that a winning hand for HK mahjong takes points from all other players so I'd guess it doesn't favor defense as much.

Riichi mahjong is pretty defensive in nature.

it's longer and with the same rules (besides the shift in prevailing wind) but since you'll have more opportunities to land well constructed hands and/or come back from an unlucky deal-in it's less luckshit oriented

god I thought those draws would never end and chip me out of 1st

I used to have 4th dan on tenhou so I know what I'm talking about although I'm not a pro.

Here is my conclusion: the chinks here did not make a fair random generator. It is fucking rigged. In what way? Too many yakumans. Everyone gets them (myself included). It shouldn't be like that, you should have like 1-2 a year playing several hanchans a day. Here if you look at any random pleb he's going to have a yakuman in recent hands 80% of the time. Bull shit.

how can you have no yaku when you're closed

Just went through 27 people from lobbies I added and only one of them has a yakuman

It's worse when you get roned near the end.

I have a general idea of how the game works, but is there a place where I can learn which hands to go for?
I seem to completely lack any intuition in this game and have no idea what information I should take out of all the discards.

when did they change it?

I've got a cat pattern forming

>Tfw your country has a very similar to mahjong card game so you know the good player habits just by heart.
Pretty based honestly, people can't even count cards/pieces.

You don't go for hands. Hands either come to you, or they don't. Here's a nice book if you know the basics: dainachiba.github.io/RiichiBooks/index.html

is it better to play in Bronze though? How's the punishment for getting 4th place for Adept? same punishment with in silver room? I might as well playing safe in Bronze since I only need this much to level up

If you don't turn on auto-ron, can another person beat you to ron-ing? Or does the game wait to see if you ron or not(for whatever reason?)

Don't get fucking scammed dude, play it online and leave it at that, you're making me cringe.

Today

So if I don't have any potential I just immediately play on the defensive and try to not deal into any hands?

Good for you

You can get head bumped; the person closer in turn order gets priority, so the game will wait if there's another Ron in that case.

What used to be different?

No, that's not what I meant. I meant that you shouldn't try to force shit like honitsu, toitoi, straight, whatever unless you absolutely need those points.

What do I do with my gifts

if anyone liked Legendary Gambler Tetsuya you should play the PS2 games, they are amazing and you can do a lot of cheating there, it's a shame they are jap only tho

No. You both will Ron at the same time just like a normal game.

No, you try your best to form SOMETHING. remember that your starting hand doesn't matter much, but your draws is what important. You can have 1-shanten starting hand but never get in tenpai because your last wait is shit, but shit hand is actually flexible because you can make anything from it.

Just a suggestion for you guys
People often say that you can only "win" around 25% of your game, but I think that's completely wrong.
Don't treat getting a first place as the only way to find a sense of victory in this game.
Your goal is not to get 1st, but to avoid getting 4th.
Statistically speaking, you should be able to enjoy 75% of your game. maybe more if you also treat simply winning a hand as a victory.

Exactly my point. The game is just badly optimized under certain conditions. You can use a basic machine with no specs and have a fluent game and you can also get a laggy mess on a good rig.
Maybe the battery saving mode works around the problem.

Isn't it the easiest yakuman to get?

Is being too defensive a valid strategy when you're second / first ?
I don't give a damn about my hand when i don't get anything worth it after 2 or 3 turns and I keep deeling safe shit.

that has to fucking hurt, yesterday I saw some poor fool deal into a yakuman that made him go from 1st to 4th, I play defensive like a little pussy so I usually don't deal into hands but don't win by much

depends, you can get fucked because there are other 3 players than can deal to each other hands and can knock you out of 1st same time unless you have a big advantage, I just go all-out unless im 30k in front, which usualyl doesn't happen

The easiest is dsg, you can call for it. Then it's a suuankou because you can morph it in the cheaper yaku variations if shit goes south. Kokushi is only third because you fight for it from the very beginning and all you can make out of it is an open chanta and only if you see your tile four times on the table pretty early. Otherwise it's just a folding hand and a wasted round. Now I'm not saying defense is a waste of time I'm saying if you really committed to kokushi you must be pretty desperate and it's one less chance to get back on your feet.

No shit you expect people to chose the waits on the fives in the game with red doras.
Even better, normal 7 pairs usually is built to wait on 1 9 winds dragons and doras but it could be just a normal 5 tanki wait hoping for a free red.

Not-Koromo is eternally btfo.

the characters are literally impossible
1 2 3 horizontal lines
4 rectangle
5 the one that looks exactly like 9
6 star
7 X
8 ^
9 the one that looks exactly like 5

I think the rest should come with experience
it really all comes down to what you can tell from what opponents discard and how good you are at probability calculation on the fly

9 is an angry dog, you don't want it for your tanyaos
5 looks like 16

you can just memorize them like a non idiot
or just buy a numbered set

I think that's one of the things I am still lacking.

Then what the hell am I supposed to do. This was my chance on getting in with others on a newgame without a bunch of tryhards ruining it. But I hate it. And I have nothing else.

五 is made of five lines
七 is 7 upside down
九 is the n for nine

To be fair it's not all that important but sometimes it can help to know that when you have a hidden triplet it forms pretty interesting waits whenever a tile is close to it, and even stronger if you have a sequence close to the triplet

Just don’t play, retard.

I'm tired of just browsing the web and lurking Yea Forums.

6 is also made of 5 lines, dumb fucking japs

I seriously can't get any good hands lately. I keep getting 3rd since 1 guy always deals into the other 2 for massive hands.
That one 4th place was due to a random disconnection and auto-dealing into a fucking baiman.

Thanks for funding the English server.

At least the Chinese didn't put fucking 两 on the tile instead of 二

You could have organized a tournament here for those 300 dollars if you're that rich...

then japs are double dumb (and also cucks) for using chink characters

>两
Who?

1/2/3 = 1/2/3 lines
4 = box has 4 sides
5 = 5 lines
6 = first conventional breaking number, uses diagonal lines
7 = upsidedown 7
8 = symmetrical
9 = 9

IIRC, that basically means "twice".

liǎng
They use that term for 2 when counting for some reason.

Yup, Chinese and Japanese use the same symbols for numbers.
That god, often the exact same symbols mean completely different things between the two

I'm guessing you didn't pass world history.

Not too hard since you can move your tiles around, so you can do that to help you recognize shapes. Like putting a pair of 2m away and notice that 23456 is a three sided wait on 147. Then realize that 33 can be a pair, too and the rest are three melds. Then also realize that your shape is symmetrical.

But in general you eventually quickly recognize certain shapes, especially those made of 5 tiles.

>"ara ara user, you're playing that game with the Chinese girls again?"

If you play against non-beginners yes. But in that situation if you call riichi with a 8 sided wait, you probably need to ask for a small pause. Which isn't even that bad since tsumo is very likely.

Is mahjong actually good? Is it a slow or fast game? I feel like playing some after reading Higurashi but I don't really know what I'm for

You can put anime girls on anything and make it interesting. I've been wanting to learn for years so it's a good that I'm playing with other newbs.

cute girls + memes + an actual decent fucking mahjong client in english
it's a winning combination

Standard rules south game #50753

Mahjong is actually pretty good. Speed depends on the players. The better they are, the faster it gets. Eventually a turn is just a few seconds at best.

Faster than you'd like, slower than you'd expect

it's pretty fun once you get to grips with it
single east round games tend to go fast, 2 round hanchans a bit longer and even then it can vary with the players

fuck this game is getting on my fucking nerve.
I was 1 STEP AWAY from ranking up for a billionth times already and the god of mahjong ALWAYS give me shitload streak of bad luck every single fucking time. Didn't win even a single hand in these 3 matches holy fuck despite opponent keep discarding dangerous tiles left and right non-stop all the fucking goddamn time and not a single tsumo from me ever, but one time i did it, I always got punished by at least 12k points what the fuck am i supposed to do with this shit luck!??

You better emoted the fuck out of him before ronning.

>people winning such shit hands that we never cross the 30k barrier

release me from this

sip

I did get my payback with a quick mangan tsumo the next round, but that draw hurt me physically.

Calling that late can be risky since you still have to deal tiles afterwards. But if you think you won't get into tenpai otherwise and your discards are safe, you can call for tenpai. I usually do it in the last two turns.

When an opponent clearly has a higher scoring hand than you and when you don't need the points. For example when someone called a yakuhai dora and you're point leader, there's probably little reason to push. Let others deal into it or just pay at the end.

Closed kan doesn't. That's why you can still kan even if you're already in riichi, as long as it doesn't change your wait.

Isn't that the same shit they say about learning languages? It doesn't matter as long as you can sink thousands of hours into it, which I admit many can't once they have a job.

being a world champion or competitive on a world level you need to have started as a child on top of having natural talent

>Go for Nagashi

Holy fucking shit, that dumb fuck was apparently trying to save his tenpai, not realizing that he won't be getting any points for it anyway.

And it was fucking gold room, too.

The cheating in Kirinji is the plot shield the MC gets.

bronze people take like 4-5 seconds to discard
silver people take 1 second, especially japs

Yes, naturally. If you don't have a chance in the beginning, why bother continuing.

In riichi it's better to not lose dealing into a mangan than try to win.

I always get ron'd whenever I be aggressive.

Because this game is inherently luck-based game. You can discard whatever the fuck you want. Get lucky? you won't get ron'd ever.

If you think that's bad wait for the unlucky matches where first hand starts off with a haneman or more tsumo as dealer. The shit hands will never not stop coming so you have no choice to defend for 3rd place from the beginning unless the other luckshitter in 4th comes with their own haneman tsumo out of nowhere and now you're the only one with less than 15k points despite never dealing in at South 4. And if you force your hand into something in those games, even if you manage to get close to something like chiniitsu you bet your ass you'll either be ronned by 1k rons or even lucky open meld mangans if you don't have any safe tiles and go straight to negative because you should have been defending.

i played a specific chinese city version of mahjong and it was shit, similar to riichi but with lots of stuff taken out

it means you waste a lot of time playing against AIs and the reason for it is probably that your skills arent good enough to beat people

I'm also outraged I can't win every time
I finally understand why they say Soul games need Easy Modes

>Draw 4 honors
>Shimocha finishes his hand in the meantime

Also
>Shimocha and kamicha building hon itsu and chin itsu hands of different suits

there are too many jap words in this post

Saw it once, poor guy got fucked.

Playing against people is shitty though, playing against an ai (without a timer if possible) is the most relaxing and comfy way of playing anything. People just ruin shit for everyone.

i dont understand how anyone can feel any sense of accomplishment from beating an ai
its just boring

>Tfw your yakuman didn't go through.
Maybe I should've called the 4p after all

I'm Adept III and haven't spent a cent. Git gud.

Better to have a discount win than lose and feel shit.

A! pon...

why do you even bother playing competitive games if you cant handle losing

what's wrong, can't handle a little byanter?

Perfect, finally the luck I deserve.
