NOPE. Kinda a shame, hopefully it's at a different time next time.

It's an elimination kinda tourney. Almost any nyagger is able to win one of these. While no serious mahjong tournament is elimination based, this one definitely doesn't need to be serious, clearly it is here for the advertisement purposes.

So what, if I want to upgrade someones art I max her bond and give her all the items listed?

>upgrade
In most cases, yes.

to unlock a bond 5 girl's outfit and 3 emotes, you need all the items listed and give them to her at the same time. for example, if you want to unlock cat, you need to save 5 epic food, and then the 2 orbs, and other materials.
tl;dr don't use epic materials except for bond 5 outfit unlocking

You can donate some of your items in exchange for stardust. You can buy 1 free roll for 50 stardust, max 5 per month. So it's possible but takes a long time

Around 113, I think.

i misspoke. you need to have those items in order to upgrade her. so you'll need 10 of each orb that the girl needs, 100 dust, 5 epic food, and 10 wishing stones. don't make the mistake of giving the cat epic food to increase her bond and then find out you still need 5 to upgrade her.

Is it normal to spend your first few matches being completely btfo? I've done four games now and I only just managed to not come in last place.

I sometimes get that funny feeling that I'm in a Truman Show and the showrunners need some cheap drama for ratings. When everything that happens in game seems like such a string of absolutely bullshitting coincidences, unlikely scenario after unlikely scenario, with you getting situations where you are fated to make some specific decision that would be like a freight train at the end of that fucking tunnel. Looking back, I see that at one point I started making completely fucking retarded decisions due to tilting, but all in all the amount of literal bullshit that happened in my last game is astonishing. And when I got down to 400 points, I got hand after hand amazing closed tenpais, itsu-pinfu-3 doras taking the cake - and no, not a single one of them won. The way I ended up somehow taking back 2nd place in South3-4 felt even more surreal. Fuck me and fuck frustrating games like that one. Thanks for subscribing to my blog!

Unless you have a chanta (which is pretty rare as it is), you'll be usually seen as a retard on a fast lane for a yakuless tenpai.

If you're a beta, then sure.

Yes, if you're on a shitty wait that people would never discard if they knew you were in tenpai for example.

when someone pons daisangen hand
sometime you just want an option to be able to fold when you chicken out

If you riichi everyone knows what's up.
Always instantly calling riichi the moment you get the option is low iq.

That or being able to change your hand just in case something bad happens.

In the opposite, if your hand can easily be improved you might want to riichi later.

but it has such tasty color.

It'll be even tastier if you wait a round or two rounds and manage to turn your one sided wait into a 2 sided one and also switch your normal 5 with a red dora.

Maybe if you're low on points and can't afford to get smacked, or if you're playing with 600 IQ gold players that'll go full beta the second they think you're in tenpai.

Spheres is doable, you get 1 in pretty much every silver chest.
Purple gifts is pretty much event-only if you're f2p

Very useful to not call riichi when you're in 1st on South 4. At that point all you want to do is win quickly and as fast as possible, and not calling riichi makes it more likely for others to deal in

If you have a 4 han 20 fu hand without riichi, a tsumo will upgrade it to a mangan while a ron will be 7700 points, so pretty close to a mangan

If it's something like riichi only + 1 or 2 dora with a bad wait, and the people you're playing with don't give a shit about playing defensive, you might want to try to upgrade to a better wait or have insurance in case someone else reaches tenpai

Last case I can think of is if you're aiming to get direct hits off of one or two people, since passing a ron with riichi puts you in furiten

Got my first kill. Are you proud of me?

Please say you're proud of me ;~;

Attached: boomheadshot.jpg (1662x930, 719K)

The piece turned up is the dora, it shows which piece will give you bonus point this round (image case the 6 pin is the dora), everytime someone calls a Kan (4 of a kind) they turn up a new tile up to 5
below the stick with 1 dot means someone called riichi, if someone wins this round they take his points, and the one with 8 dots shows how many times the same player won in his east round, and mutiplies the score he wins by 200 I guess (2 rounds * 200 = this round he wins 600 points)

How come sometimes when someone tsumo's, I lose more points than the other 2 players?

No.

I swear I didn't do today's event quests but I don't have any in my thing

It's the dealer that has to pay more when someone else tsumos. Roughly 1.5x the amount of the other two players

>potential furiten
I already had 456 678, the 2 was useless, which means so was the 3. I was waiting on an East.

Calling the 9m is what put me into Tenpai, you absolute gizzard.

you are actually right on both cases, small score pays almost double, big scores pays 1,5x

>Having a complete open set including the nine, then afterwards discarding the 8, has any chance of leading to furiten.
Are you dumb? Am I dumb? Walk me through this.

rip that last round was a slog
thanks for the game

And what happens when you draw a 5m

I thought he was asking if there is any dora for a red five.

He wins for being in a 5-east pair wait?

>No yaku
lol

Yeah GG thanks for playing anons

Im proud of you dear user.

Right, I'm retarded; still don't see what that has to do with furiten so you're retarded too. He's also retarded for giving up his yaku for a single east wait.

>And what happens when you draw a 5m
What do you cut from the hand

Good advice right here.

That's because it literally just looks like generic ~2000s era anime. Could be anyone and anything.

Nvm, it's worth one more han than what he got. Still the second statement remains true.

I see that I am slow, and that the madman did it.
Good work.

that is the optimal way to play
except you just fold as soon as it looks like someone else is about to win

I hope this isnt a tsuuisou ron.

what are the easiest yakumans to get?
ive gotten kokushi once and been close to it another 2 or 3 times
was sort of close to daisangen once and tsuuiisou once

It's more like in Silver I can never seem to get into Tenpai, but in Bronze I don't seem to have that problem.

I kinda go through phases with what hands I go for. At first I was all about the Junchan, then I started going for Tanyao once I learned what that was, then it was Pinfu with some Sanshoku Doujin thrown in.

Now I'm going after Honitsu and Chinitsu.

It was. It was the third hand and I had 200 points left. 1st place dealt into me and shot me straight to first. Ended up getting second. Guy on my right took a fast hand in hand 4 and overtook me.

You're getting to tenpai more often because your opponents aren't getting to tenpai as often.

Attached: 1280617308758.jpg (158x152, 5K)

again what are you supposed to do
if youre hand is trash you might as well try to win fast rather than risk getting ronned into negatives

Dont expect nyaggers to counting their point. They just ponchikan into something and hope its big.

it's a bitch move but it's not pointless. you're at least making sure you don't go into negatives and someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you get more exp the higher your points are

You shouldn't riichi on a 1han hand unless you're the dealer because the reward is negligible while you're putting yourself at a huge risk by riichi'ing on a bad wait. You should try to change the hand to at least have a better wait, and yeah, give up if someone comes out with something dangerous and you haven't built value. Don't be a nyagger who bitches here about losing four out of five riichis because you mash the FREE SEX button every time it pops up.

1 point more if its a tanyao only hand => basically wothless.
depend on how the point diffirent are you can do alot of thing.

>while you're putting yourself at a huge risk by riichi'ing on a bad wait
>implying I'm smart enough to not deal in anyway

But riichi'ing on a bad wait is the #1 way to get ron'd into the negatives.

Hello friends,

Holy shit rooms fill up fast

obviously he did it early enough to still win the hand otherwise that guy wouldnt be here complaining about it

For what purpose? Being in fourth place and going negative is the same. Might as well aim for a baiman or more, even more, aim to take down 2nd place to 3rd place just to fuck with him.

could be the difference between -60 points and -100
you cant just aim for a baiman, you take what tiles you get
if you get trash then you cant magically turn it into a baiman

Just because it pays off doesn't mean it was a good idea.

You know that the diffirent you are talking about here is more than a non-dealer yakuman ron right? Even if you deal into a haneman if just -12 but if you get 3rd place somehow its +100 or even more.

ippatsu on the first riichi, well shit

dealing into a 10k+ hand because you riichi'd on an open wait 10 turns earlier makes me want to close the game for a week

someone tsumoed this while I was on two-sided wait with one red five and dora 3 from pon tiles.

it doesnt matter how many points the difference is my point is the same

Bronze, cause I keep losing to shit like this

If you have a trash hand you can turn it into a kokushi (or make they think that you are going for a kokushi). A hand that can naturally turn into a open tanyao cant be a trash hand user.
If you are last place in south 4 you dont have anything to lose really.

if you have a bunch of shit like 1-3 and 6-8 its not gonna be that easy to finish it quickly without calling

Pretty much yeah. Not losing is also a step to winning

You're also risking 1000 points to get roughly 1000 points back + your initial investment

But why would you want to finish it quicky? You are dead last with a shit hand, better bet on a miracle that can pull you out if this misery than get a +1 point in the end no?

theres no point trying to magically get a good hand if you dont have the tiles for it

Just let the nyaggers killing each other then strike them with your bigdick hand. Truly the chad way of mahjong.

Yeah sure enjoy 4th place man.

learn the game

>stop throwing a tanturm
How the hell did you get that from my post. Are you this butthurt that someone disagreed with your shitty Bronze strategy

Your chances of "winning first" via ron is shitty as well with a trash wait. You can always win with a closed tsumo so why the hell would you declare riichi

>theres no point trying to magically get a good hand if you dont have the tiles for it
You change the draw order from the wall. There's no telling what you could have gotten had you actually kept your hand closed instead of rushing out that 1k tanyao in South 4

Room for 1 more!!

youd be crying regardless of what his wait was

If you give up on your hand when you just see it the first time then there is no hope for you.
But i indeed need to learn more about the game though.

It's all the same game in the end. There's not much of a difference between this and Tenhou. Mahjong Soul does hold your hand more with hints and a tutorial though

it's the only one that's already translated and has people from here that play it

All mahjong games are the same really.
The only alternative is tenhou which doesn't have cute girls, but has better players. However at lower levels you'll meet the same kind of beginners so you'll not notice that until you know what you are doing.
Also soul has friendly rooms here to get you started with the game.

Adept is fucking purgatory, I swear. Just when I think my luck is turning, I end up with 10 straight games in a row where everyone is instantly in tenpai and I'm sitting here with a garbage hand half full of honors and terminals and nothing even resembling a set. Every time I get close to winning a huge hand, somebody sweeps it out from under me with some babby garbage hand, or I Ron into someone because I'm just trying to get my wait. I can't even just try to coast on playing defensively because then they just end up Tsumo'ing and draining me anyway and I still end up in 3rd or 4th. I fucking hate how people play in Silver because it's just blind aggression and luck.

Bro's help me out, I was playing mahjong IRL and was in tenpai waiting for 1 tile with an open hand. The player to my right discards said tile but the player opposite him called pon on it before I could call ron.

Who wins the tile in this case?

>Ron Riichi ippatsu chiitoitsu 6 dora
>Draw potentially big hand
>other player gets lightning fast riichi and tsumos next turn
>just play as efficiently as possible to scrounge up some points
>Dealer tsumos until you fall into negative
That goes on for 4 or 5 games right when I'm about to fall below adept and then I get lucky again until I'm more than 2/3rds of the way to making it to adept 2 and then the cycle repeats

Ron takes priority.

Stop playing east only matches
Focus less on winning hands and more on not dealing in

Priority is ron > pon > chi.

This is a common complaint, and while this sort of thing happens from time to time, it's also important to remember that just having bad luck doesn't necessarily mean that you never made a mistake or that you don't have room for improvement. Maybe you need to win more hands more often, or maybe the hands you do win are too small, or maybe you're pushing when you should defend or defending when you should push.

Need one more. Let's clear those dailies.

Fuck, I forgot I need 8 Honba, not 7.

hmm...

I don't even think that's implemented.

Just finished my first bronze match, I had no idea what to do besides trying to get 4 sequence/triplets and a pair, somehow ended up 2nd, never won a hand.
One thing I wanna know is about the options on the left, there's a lot of "auto" stuff, should I turn them on?

Came 4th every game I've played tonight and just died. Maybe I should stop playing or press pon and chii on everything and maybe get 1k hands.

Don't the pauses in this game change the balance compared to real life, or is there some loophole to the information gained from them?
Like, if the guy to my left deals a tile and there's a pause I now know with 100% certainty that someone out there has 2 of that tile and was given the option to pon. I know it will be a bad tile to wait on, in fact if I have 1 of that tile myself I know there's 0 left to draw.
I don't actually keep track of this shit myself, but I bet good players do. Or is there something I'm not aware of that makes it not work?

No. Only auto-arrange should be on (it's on by default)

>Maybe you need to win more hands more often
I literally can't because everyone in the room has what they need almost immediately and my hand is mixed nonsense.
>or maybe the hands you do win are too small
Again, I finally do get a nice hand and somebody with a 1-2 han still sweeps the win out from me anyway
>or maybe you're pushing when you should defend or defending when you should push
I do my best to defend after I win something with any significance but again, I run into the same problem with other players being ready so early in the match that their discards are impossible to read or I just straight up don't have tiles that I know are safe.

You're probably right. I've mostly been going for East games because I just want to put in for a quick game here and there when I have a bit of down time but it's really fucking me over because of the way people play in Silver. 10 bucks says these people are shitting it up in most of their games because I can see they're the same level as me, I just seem to be having the bad luck of being in the games where they're having all the good luck.

Also, FYI, calling Kan to make a meld of 4 when you already have 3 and you drew the 4th yourself can still be beat by a Ron. I had that happen to me once and it fucking sucked because I wasn't aware it could be stolen from me if I was just adding it to an existing open meld. Wouldn't have really mattered because I was already waiting on something and that tile would have been discarded anyway but it was just kind of adding insult to injury. Only ever happened to me once but I guess be careful the next time you try to Kan something from your hand because it turns out it's just as good as discarding it. Not sure if they can do it if you're Kan'ing a closed meld though. Anybody else know the answer to that?

Thanks. I'm gonna read some Yakus now.

wait
I can manually arrange my tiles if I turn it off?

Yes just drag them but make sure to turn double click on
>t. No tips no auto arrange

Yeah

Kaning a closed meld doesn't work in almost every case, but I think there's some bullshit special exemptions for some reason where it does. Like I think if you're trying to steal the last tile for 13 orphans it's allowed, just because of the "rule of cool".

If it's anything like Tenhou there are fake pauses added in sometimes.

>I literally can't
Work on your hand building skills. Work on your efficiency, work on building better shapes, work on incorporating more value when you can, and learn how to balance speed and value.
>their discards are impossible to read or I just straight up don't have tiles that I know are safe
Learn how to defend, work on your judgment of when to push and when to fold. Go read Riichi Book 1 if you haven't already (and if you have, reread it).
>Not sure if they can do it if you're Kan'ing a closed meld though
No, chankan is only possible when promoting a pon to a kan, though apparently Majsoul has chankan for closed kans for kokushi.

Time to go on another losing streak.

Oh shit, there might be fake pauses?
That'd certainly solve it.
Can anyone confirm or deny if that's the case in Mahjong Soul?

Not satisfied, but not disappointed either. I wonder what would've happened when I got to Honba 8 and won as the dealer.

Just to let you know, this isn't really a good indicator of skill. I can probably play at a gold level, but I'm incredibly lazy and have only played like, 20 games so far, so I'm very low adapt.

I will say, even though the other anons are doing it to be spiteful assholes, it IS a really easy and fun DIY project. I built one for myself, with total materials coming out to maybe $80 or so. The trick is to make sure that the felt is incredibly taut before you staple it into the wood.

ggs. Maybe I should have aimed for a yakuman too at the end

my aim was actually terminal discard since I at least didnt expect to get a white or 9man, but fuck me that was close

didn't even notice your discard until I see the screenshot. I did notice how there wasn't any south tiles when I eventually drew one so I had to hold on to it so I had to break the closed wait to make room but dealt into the tanyao instead.

>Work on your hand building skills. Work on your efficiency, work on building better shapes, work on incorporating more value when you can, and learn how to balance speed and value.
How the hell am I supposed to be efficient with bullshit like 1 and 8 characters, 2 and 7 bamboo, 1, 3, and 9 dots, 1 east, 2 wests, 1 south. 1 red dragon, and 1 white dragon. To top it all off, I'm north. I shit you not, this kind of nonsense has been what my starting hands have looked like all fucking day. I try to build any sort of viable hand from that and somebody ends up in tenpai within the first 3 discards. If it's through Riichi, then yeah, the obvious move is to start defending but if they haven't given any proper indication of it, like they just aren't calling Riichi or they have one generic open meld that isn't even a dragon or a wind they can use, the best I can do is pray as I try to balance building a hand and trying to keep from discarding anything important to somebody else. I'm not trying to say I'm great at this game and just have shit luck but it definitely feels like part of this is luck shitting on me today since I wasn't having problems like this yesterday.

I'm going through this right now. Literally never played into anyone's hand, yet I'm constantly in last place for 6 games straight. Such a bullshit feeling, but you just got to persevere.

Spicy opinion alert: Ippatsu shouldn't include your next draw, it should merely be an extra punishment for anyone who deals in on the first turn after a riichi and handing out more points for pure luck with literally zero influence or counterplay is bad

>zero influence or counterplay
Just call kan lmao

Bad luck happens, I'm just saying that you can't blame it for everything and it doesn't absolve you of getting good. And if you're talking about a day's worth of games, it's only natural that there will be a lot of variance in results.

Calling tiles breaks ippatsu

Ippatsu can be interrupted by calling tiles.

this is literally never worth doing

Would you prefer giving the player an extra han? Just do it and then Betaori.

But Akagi does it

guys...I got akagi'd....
I'm a dummy but how could I have prevented this from happening?

Attached: i got akagid.png (1913x915, 1.61M)

Same. I went on full tilt as well and dropped from Expert back to adept 3 after getting 4th place in 5 south games in a row.
I found the best way to even scrounge up anything against those FUCKING GOLD PLAYERS who kcik you while you're down is to try for half flushes.
When you know your luck is so shit that you'll draw useless winds, you got to amass useless winds suntil they become something not shit.

>Riichi with yakuman wait

There was nothing you could do against a man like that.

not much you can do

Win faster.

It was simply meant to be, don't feel bad for it.

I literally only call kan if I have a chance it rinshan kaihou. It hasn't happened yet, but I'll tell y'all when it does.
