Oh cool. Watched a Jade Room game and you can see their stats. It's interesting to know who's on a losing streak and who isn't.

It means you want to be Akagi, but you think you're more like Kaiji when really you're side character that loses immediately.

Ok let's have one game before the official tournament

To Meido, I've played a few games with you and you're good man, don't get cocky but I believe in you

>Just tsumo 4Head

the thing with pharaoh is that this will happen until some bullshit makes him win for some reason. this or he reverts back to child form and they end up in some sort of friendly stalemate.

You can do that in your own games too. I don't recommend it tho.

2/4

The match is starting in 15 minutes, you really think you can finish a hanchan by then?

I like to confirm for myself that the chinks I'm playing are even capable of not calling.

I wasn't paying attention, when is the official tourney and who do I root for?

Meido, unless he fucks up and embarasses himself, in which case we already knew he was a giant fuckup and just came to laugh at him.

That's a surprise. Can't do it in my log. I'll try it next game.

How do I come to terms with the fact I drew my opponent's winning tile and I must destroy my big dick tenpai in the last turns therefore abandoning all hope of taking first place ?

Should watch Dasuke's stream instead if you want actual insightful commentary.

Top lazy here. I'm watching it in-game.

You really shouldn't be saying that to me.
It's because I don't do that I've been dealing in recently. I need to learn to fold and stop with the "I know exactly it's this tile he's waiting on but let me discard it anyway lol"

Thanks.

Just gotten this.
Start of game, East.
4 rounds later, end of game, East.
Could had gotten a even higher score if the last round didn't ron by someone else.

Best way to learn how to play? Does the Mahjong game with cute girls have a good tutorial on how to play?

Tournament play creates a lot of weird situations like this, but it's clear he just lacks experience. 28000 was more than enough to be in the running for top 3 2nds, you need 30k just to win a round. He's sitting there imagining what, first and second both have 30k+ and third and fourth are down at 18,19k? And that happens three times? Makes no sense.

it's worse when you get a fast riichi and some fuck riichis a dozen turns later and you instantly deal into him

Chase riichis are scarier than early riichis, but I know what you mean. There are way more safe tiles for early riichis, but it still feels awful.

Is there a big compilation image of all the girls and their uncap versions? Trying to bait a friend into the game and he's easily lured by cute girls if one strikes his fancy.

Your friend sounds like a loser.

Your folding wasn't too bad. You made some weird discards in earlier rounds tho. If you ever hit a wall, you can try the efficiency 101 of mahjong.guide or memorize some wait patterns.

He's played heaps of tournaments, and probably the most out of anyone who's participating in this one. 30k may be the minimum to win but it's not a secure lead at all - first place at the other tables will inevitably be higher than that, which means second place may also be higher than 28k (unless, for example, first crushed everyone evenly), so hoping to be in the top three with a 28k second place is a gamble that you have no control over. On the other hand, if he tsumo'd that south or if Umidah saw it pass and decided to discard it himself after that, Dasuke would have a much better shot at advancing. He passed up the win because there was still a chance for a better result, just as Corak wanted to steal first which is why he called that riichi in the first place. You can bet that neither of them would've played that way in ranked matches, but they know that in a tournament - an elimination tournament, at that - you have to go big or go home.

Same feel but my 3 dudes and me are getting an auto table, split 4 ways

only problem is no idea which one is worth shit, looking on amazon there are 2 and one seems decent but amazon.co.jp has some better looking ones but they unfortunately won't ship to US

You should wait for that before buying one, we don't know the price range yet but it really can't be higher than overseas shipping and the aotomo one on amazon is apparently not great

Are you high tier expert player?

gg. Recognized you from . I've learned it's hard to give level appropriate advice. I made some bad plays and just barely won.

Sorry to other cats for being a tryhard.

Here's the basic model from the guys who are apparently working with amos
youtube.com/watch?v=84NOxJN30ZA

There's also a version without the point display, but unless it like doubles the price or something I'll probably go for this one because regular tables have the tenbo in a drawer so you can't just look at the trays and count points like on a junk mat
The tiles are a little big, but otherwise it looks alright

I probably seem like I'm shilling but I'm just really fucking excited for this and I really want it to work out for them so companies continue trying to spread the game here
They also confirmed they'll be selling their hand shuffle sets so we don't have to pay for overseas shipping from amazon jp

My bad. Honestly, mahjong could use a handicap system or something. I don't think ranks are well separated.

Shit, that looks way more portable than I expected. How heavy are these beasts? I was concerned about space and ease of moving it aside if need be, if it's not too heavy (I have no idea how much machinery is in there) then I might be able to make it work with what space I have since I'm the only homeowner out of my circle of friends.

That call is useless. It doesn't advance your hand by much. You can call 7 man or 7 sou here but 3 sou pon does nothing for you.

You puts you into ishanten for a confirmed sanshoku you fucking bronze brainlet.

for japanese-style tiles your options are either the YMI set off amazon (pic related) which is apparently perfectly good but it's not authentic if that matters to you, or to import an Amos set off amazon jp. If you have amazon prime the former will be about $10-$20 cheaper, but if you don't the import will probably be around the same price after shipping depending on which set you get.

Get the Gabin set for standard 26mm tiles, or the Max for auto table-sized 28mm tiles. The max also comes with nicer tenbo sticks than the gabin

I saw that set and for some reason when I saw the rest of YMI shop, I felt like they were knockoff/fake sets that weren't that great, though if the tiles are fine them I might get them. I mainly just want a set for some casual games with some local friends. I'll check out amazon jp though and see what I can find.

Here, I see 4s and 5p as floating. I make five blocks as: [3-5]-6-6-7m (two blocks), 1-1-2p, 9-9p, and 6-7s. I thought it was weird you kept 4s but discarded 3m and 6m.

Magical sands from hell.

>What like made of ivory and ebony?
Nah, I just mean the YMI set is made specifically for western markets rather than being a real import from a Japanese brand. In both cases they're just some kind of plastic or resin, bone and bamboo sets are basically just a niche novelty thing these days.

I've never seen any complaints about it, so I assume it's fine. If it's significantly cheaper for you, you might as well go for it. I imported a set, but it was while the YMI set was in that several month long out of stock spell so I didn't have a choice.

Here's the two Amos sets if you're interested though:
amazon.co.jp/dp/B015SDE3SS
amazon.co.jp/dp/B015SDE3FG

The first one is larger 28mm tiles and nicer point sticks and wind marker, the other is standard 26mm tiles and cheaper sticks and marker.
They have two other sets but as far as I'm aware they're just the same thing as these but lighter, mahjong tiles typically have an iron core (or a magnet in the case of auto tables) to make them heftier and the other sets are just cheaper versions that don't have the weight.

Ah, that hand.
I think the 567m made my mind "detach" the 3m and 6m from that block, and my discard order was tunneling into those strays from the outside in (1-9, 2-8, 3-7, 4-6, 5). That's why I ended up giving 3m and 6m higher discard priority back then (I see the inefficiency now).

Honestly there's nothing to watch here. Umidah guy was completely dominating the game. Other than shit 3 sou call dasuke didn't made any big mistakes.

Actually true, dora was 8 characters. Still the point stands.

3s pon literally advances shanten. Waiting for the chance to chii 7m or 7s has zero merit because that means he's one shanten slower than he would be otherwise. The hand is too slow to stay closed, so the next best thing to do is pivot to a kawashi hand to stop, if possible, anyone else from winning a big hand. And if he's still not fast enough, he's got plenty of options for safety.

Really, what is it with people on Yea Forums always trying to insist that they know better? Call it a debatable choice if you will, but to so confidently declare that it was obviously wrong and stupid is just peak Dunning-Kruger.

>If only I could find a set with green backs.
I hear that, I'd love to find a blue-backed set but all of them are expensive luxury ones.
What I really want is one that actually has green ink for the hatsu and souzu tiles, but it seems like that practically doesn't even exist. It's always just black and red ink. I don't understand why no sets exist when literally every game an anime always shows green ink, even on tenhou it's a dark green rather than black.

They're something related to playing for money parlor-style, they have nothing to do with actual riichi gameplay. I just left mine in the box, same with the yakitori markers. All you need are the tiles, a pair of dice, the point sticks, and a surface to play on.

You can try the Mahjong Soul tutorial, which is available to play on your internet browser. Basically what it comes down to, though, is to make four melds of either sequences (123) or triplets/quads plus a pair. There are also certain conditions you need to fulfill in order to get a winning hand (yaku), and that's where a lot of the learning and memorization part comes in.

Literally impossible, unless it was someone other than the riichi guy ronning you.

He could have gone into tenpai after the riichi.

No, if one of the wait is furiten all waits are furiten

Furiten applies to every possible winning tile, not just the one you throw away.

You can only call chii on the player to your left

WHAT

>3s pon literally advances shanten.
Yes it does, but is it really necessary with his hand? It's advancement on paper but you have to deal with 2 rare tiles still. He could've had a much better hand and maybe even riichi, just need to wait and see how it progress.
>Waiting for the chance to chii 7m or 7s has zero merit because that means he's one shanten slower than he would be otherwise.
You don't have to be as fast as possible in East 1 my man. It's more important to make a high score hand at this phase. Of course nothing's wrong with being fast, just not with 3 sou call, that's my point.
>The hand is too slow to stay closed, so the next best thing to do is pivot to a kawashi hand to stop, if possible, anyone else from winning a big hand. And if he's still not fast enough, he's got plenty of options for safety.
You don't have to win by any means. Either way he still waits for sevens from kamicha or his draw, may as well wait for 1 or 4 sou and have more options for defense.
>Really, what is it with people on Yea Forums always trying to insist that they know better?
You're free to agree or disagree with any opinion. Or you can shitpost like this so called "expert" and call people bronze without any counter arguments he probably thinks his word has a lot of merit for some reason.
>Call it a debatable choice if you will, but to so confidently declare that it was obviously wrong and stupid is just peak Dunning-Kruger.
I didn't even said it was wrong or stupid in the first place. I said that call doesn't advance your hand by much so i don't see a point. With his hand he can just as easily get 1 or 4 sou from the wall. Dunning-Kruger's effect is just a polite way to say you're wrong without any need to engage in further discussion.

Some tenhou people said jade was tokujou tier not a long ago and even a famous tenhou player Corak is still an expert. If tokujou players can't even get to master it's obviously harder here.

Mahjong is a game where you watch your averages and not the outliers.

Weird, I get the perception that it's smaller than what I'm seeing on the abema stream, but maybe that's due to the lack of hands for reference.

No, don't play gold. Try to get used to jade and see how far you can progress. With 4th place penalty it's better to play as much as you can and replenish your copper later on. Getting experience is very important.

Well, YMMV. I'm not far from Saint and played quite a lot of Jade games, but my Tokujo experience happened almost 10 years ago, I haven't been playing on Tenhou since then. And, at least in my opinion, Jade is nowhere near as close to Tokujo. As for Corak and other Houou guys on MJS, they don't really play that often it seems.

Yeah, perception is a weird thing.
If you're anywhere near as autistic as me you could measure and cut out a papercraft one to get a feel for the size, I did that here for the 30mm tiles on the cheapest auto table thinking it'd feel huge but it's not bad at all. It's the same size as american tiles but just a little thicker.

If you want I could take a pic of this next to my 26mm tiles with some coins or something, the 28 should be exactly halfway between the two

t. stupid

The only fairly acceptable reason could be that he intended to make people fold their hands and/or had no valid yaku, but it's still retarded to riichi with a good lead, better keep playing and try to build something to win without riichi.

His hand was riichi only but he was basically just playing cocky.

That'd be cool, thanks! I have both a 25mm and a 35mm set, with the former being somewhat small and the latter being gigantic. I'm hoping 28mm is the right middleground.

It's some taiwanese set I bought from an import company many years ago, just when I got into Mahjong after Akagi. It has all the tiles to play riichi though, which was good because I had no clue while ordering it.

i think the correct decision was to discard a few yaochu to bait east and north, shimocha was too scared to drop them.

Oh hey I have a really similar set to that, mine are numbered though. It has bamboo backs and the trays also say Nintendo but yeah I'm sure it's bullshit. I've seen lots of those japanese-sized plastic and bamboo sets around, but never one with old-style markings and no numbers.

I did drop 9s here, but maybe you're right, baiting a little would've been a good idea.

>It's advancement on paper but you have to deal with 2 rare tiles still. He could've had a much better hand and maybe even riichi, just need to wait and see how it progress.
>Either way he still waits for sevens from kamicha or his draw, may as well wait for 1 or 4 sou and have more options for defense.
Even if he stayed closed he still needs those two tiles. Those two tiles become much easier to get if he opens up his hand, and if he's going to open up his hand anyway then rather than waiting for them to come out first, he might as well pon the 3s now so that he's got a much better chance of being ready when the sevens come. Skipping this is a needless delay. Yakuhai atozuke is a thing in higher tier meta for the same reason. As for defense, as I said, he's already got plenty of options for defense. He can cut pinzu against shimocha, souzu against toimen, and hatsu against kamicha.
>You don't have to be as fast as possible in East 1 my man. It's more important to make a high score hand at this phase.
Fukuchi says that mahjong is a game of who can win mangan first and who can stop the others from winning mangan. This article [see footnote 1] quotes Fukuchi and says to settle for whatever you can get past the midgame. Here, it's entering the midgame, two players have funky discards, one of them has a yakuhai pon, and with how slow Dasuke's hand is if kept closed, it makes perfect sense to speed up a few turns earlier. Puyo [2] and other Japanese strategy books also say to match your opponents' speed rather than just sitting back and letting them win.
>Dunning-Kruger's effect is just a polite way to say you're wrong without any need to engage in further discussion.
Alright, I apologise, but I've seen too many people here who, for some reason, seem to think that they're better than actually strong players and pros.

If you're willing to spend a little more, the gavan (gabin) set is the same thing but with heavier tiles. If you don't care about that, otherwise everything's the same and that's a great set, yeah.

Its means being a GAMER.

>Even if he stayed closed he still needs those two tiles. Those two tiles become much easier to get if he opens up his hand
I don't see how it becomes easier to pick them up. Either way you're praying to get them from kamicha or a wall. It's still the same. Can you explain, what part makes them easier to get?
>and if he's going to open up his hand anyway
He doesn't need to open if he gets at least one of the sevens, with 7 sor or 7 man he can do riichi after getting 1 or 4 sou as well. That way his hand can even reach mangan.
>Skipping this is a needless delay. Yakuhai atozuke is a thing in higher tier meta for the same reason.
Look at the article you linked
>d)
It's quite similar in a way to his situation and the author says that we should call 7 pin here, the other calls are less attractive because it's not hard to fill ryanmen waits. Do you see a pattern here? He also says
>this hand can likely be a closed tenpai with good final shape
Daisuke's final wait is probably one or the other seven but still it can be 3 han which is much better than 2000 without considering tsumo, ura doras or ippatsu. If there's a good call you can play open but you can also remain closed to make a better hand.
Also he says
>prioritise calling of bad shapes, in order to keep good shapes remaining in the hand
That's exactly what i've been saying. He calls to complete a good shape and THAT is a mistake in my opinion.
Puyo's explanation makes a lot of sense to me.

As for the first article, it's more like a general advice to bite whatever you can chew. I don't like his advice about
>or even settle for yakuless tenpai to avoid noten penalties.
because it forces you to discard dangerous tiles and keep your tenpai for a little benefit. Too much risk for a low reward in my opinion. Anyway the article doesn't specify the correct playstyle for east or south game, just a bunch of general tips. Getting to tempai in east can be much more important but we're arguing about a full game.

>I don't see how it becomes easier to pick them up. Either way you're praying to get them from kamicha or a wall. It's still the same. Can you explain, what part makes them easier to get?
If he stays closed, he has to draw 7m7s himself. If he opens up, he can chii them instead of trying to draw them himself. If he's going to open up, there's no point waiting around for 7m7s to come out first.
>He doesn't need to open if he gets at least one of the sevens, with 7 sor or 7 man he can do riichi after getting 1 or 4 sou as well. That way his hand can even reach mangan.
As I said, it's a slow hand if kept closed, and at this point in the round and with shimocha's yakuhai pon - and during the stream Dasuke verbally called out that both shimocha and toimen had too many blocks, which was why they'd discarded 97p and 57s respectively, indicating that they had stronger blocks in their hands - he doesn't have the time to wait for the ideal closed hand. Again, it's about matching speed and trying to block off your opponents rather than trying to make the biggest hand you can.
>Puyo's explanation makes a lot of sense to me.
Except Puyo's guide also says pic related.
>I don't like his advice about [...] because it forces you to discard dangerous tiles
>Getting to tempai in east can be much more important but we're arguing about a full game.
Firstly it says nothing about discarding dangerous tiles, and secondly every recent Japanese strategy book will tell you about the importance of avoiding noten penalties where feasible. It doesn't mean discarding recklessly, it means assessing the risk for the very real gain. If you can do this properly it adds up and makes a real difference, be it in tonpuusen or in hanchan.

In either case, as with betaori, you need to know when to give up your big hand and settle for what you can get, be it yasume or tenpai payments at a draw. This is important push/fold stuff that separates the high level players from the scrubs.

I have laminated sheets that list yaku, calls, winds, dragons and man tiles just for rookies. Helps make people try playing that were too afraid to.

The symbol we use to represent the number five is not in meaningful way related to the actual concept of the number five. There's no logic behind most sets of characters meant to represent something. Just memorize the damn things.

ye we have this digit symbol that's widely accepted in the civilized world and taught literally everywhere
all i want is for that digit to be on the tile instead of the caveman rock picture that only slanty-eyed rice farmers know

Maybe you should play chess or poker instead of the slanty-eyed rice farmer game then.

maybe slanty-eyed rice farmers should get with the times huh

poker's boring, low-information games suck ass
chess is too rage-inducing, play perfect for 30 moves then blunder some spastic 4-move tactic, ur down a piece gg

mahjong has a good blend of fumbling with your own shit and fucking with your opponent's shit, and even has most of the visuals right
like, the got dragon, pin and sou right with the distinct visuals and clear value coding in the picture
but the fucking winds/man are unrecognizable at a glance
take a look at man
it has this red hieroglyph thing that's the same on all tiles, basically pointless to have it on there
and then the actual symbol that differentiates them doesn't follow consistent, easily recognizable rules
the winds, too, could easily be simplified

>basically pointless to have it on there
It's needed because the tiles represent a number of "something"
Man is just the character for 10000 so they represent a number of ten thousands, like sou is just a number of chopsticks and pin a number of condoms.

>he doesn't have the time to wait for the ideal closed hand.
His hand is still slow, even after opening, without specific tiles it can't advance. He could keep this sanshoku ishanten the whole game. I think it's better to keep it and wait your chance or try to open with better shapes. I don't know much about his playstyle, maybe his call rate is really high and he likes to play aggressive.
>Again, it's about matching speed and trying to block off your opponents
I can say it's very optimistic type of thinking.
>puyo's quote
I saw just 1 pon of dragons and that's it. Should you speed up after 1 pon of dragons? The riichi is also a good way to shut down such a hand.
>Firstly it says nothing about discarding dangerous tiles
Yes but you'll have to take risks to maintain your tempai. It's kinda obvious that you should get a tempai and maybe even win while discarding safe tiles but it doesn't work like that. You'll have to make some choices. That advice doesn't specify anything, just "get to tempai bro, get points, win the game"..
>nd secondly every recent Japanese strategy book will tell you about the importance of avoiding noten penalties where feasible
>where feasible
Yep, that's the trickiest part. A beginner will probably read it this way
>i should get a tempai every time, otherwise i can lose points
but you can also deal in and lose much more points. Does the article explains about the risks? No.
>It doesn't mean discarding recklessly, it means assessing the risk for the very real gain. If you can do this properly it adds up and makes a real difference, be it in tonpuusen or in hanchan.
I think the topic about determining dangerous or safe tiles is too huge by itself so let's stop here. I hope your books tell a good way to learn this or play around your opponent's possible waits or determining whenever someone's in tempai in the first place. I can only read english books about mahjong. I dont think i have anything else to add. Thanks for your opinion.

alright, fine, i agree
have no digits on there
pin and sou still fucking do it better with the increasing number of circles and bamboo "bone" type things, it's always clear what the value of each is depending on how many it has
man does it for the first three, and then it goes FUCKA YUUUU GI and has random pictures
winds are just dummy make it pointy arrows or some kind of color coding or something, or if u can't figure out a way to represent the directions without having to resort to specific symbols, use simple recognizable symbols instead of the fucking massive complicated hieroglyphs that are impossible to derive meaning from at a glance
