>>16096820
Just remember the common 1-han yaku and some 2-han like toi toi or 7pairs.

As for scoring, fu is retarded. I only remember the 30fu row and let the ai do the rest.

>>16096820
As the other anon said, the common ones are your priority. Their value and scoring isn't something you need to worry about too much unless you plan to play in person. The ai handles that part.

I had the most issues with distinguishing similar yaku like chanta and junchan, but once you've mastered the basics the rest comes naturally

Amazon.co.jp have a lot of them, but only few, like the Nintendo one, are for international delivery

>>16108412
He wasn't being serious. It's legit kusoge.

Amazon.jp had a huge sale recently, don't know if shipping is an issue however.

You can get sets outside of Japan as well. I've seen some on Craigslist ironically.

>>16108448
I checked it out, seems like shit. I hear the akagi game is pretty shit. Yakuza mahjong is pretty fun. Anything else?

>>16108546
Yeah, the Akagi game was garbage. It's a recap of the anime on a 2 cent budget and also has a terrible interface. I heard Mahjong Haoh Portable was good, but I haven't played it myself.

6s, safe vs simocha and suji for the other two

>>16123923
Cut that 3p and deal right into toimen for a mangan maybe? Had that 3p been a useful tile, I would have cut 3m since that passed fairly recently.

>>16123923
You should close the hands next time.
I'd discard 6-man. It's safe against kamicha, and probably safe against toimen who looks like he's aiming for pinzu honitsu. It's not safe against the dealer, but I'd discard it over 3-man first because there is the chance small chance he could've gotten in tenpai for chanta sanshoku. If the 3-man passed again, I would prioritize defending against kamicha and toimen since the chance the dealer has a kuso hand is highly likely.

>>16124072
Discarding a tile that's safe against no one sounds like a great idea.

>>16124124
Just being honest though, I tend to not think too hard during a game. I probably would have noticed that toimen is doing something with pinzu but that 3p doesn't help so I'd risk it and hope it passes. If I somehow realized I should be defending I'd probably stick to cutting souzu starting with 6s.

I love Kan but some people are really retarded about it. The other day I saw a guy call a double riichi and right afterwards another guy calls a kan against it. He dealt in the next turn and gave the dealer 3 extra dora.

>>16136410
>double yakuman
Always fun to see those, kinda wish I ran into them myself. Might just be hindsight but dropping that chun right after all those calls is asking to get ronned. Toimen giving him the west tile made me think he was beyond saving but he and kamicha managed to hang on to their north tiles so they're not 100% retarded. Can't beat the flow though, he had that tile coming straight for him.

Clutch(lucky) play in the last round.

Holy shit, that round must have been depressing.

Please conform me that I made the right choice, only to be screwed by RNGesus.

Would you have discarded 7m instead and made a comeback victory with that selfdrawn 8m?

I can't get over this ;_; I could have won but fucked up and tilted to 4th place.

No, if you keep the 9m you lose tanyao, have a shittier wait, and also have to call riichi. Don't judge your play by the dead wall.

>>16137600
>>16119627

>>16137713
This.

It's a personal preference of mine to favor a closed middle wait versus shanpon, but in this case there's nothing compelling that would make anyone throw out tanyao

>>16137080
Multiple yakuman at the same time is always allowed.
Double yakuman, that is kokushi 13-sided wait, chuuren 9-sided wait, suuankou tanki aren't a thing in tenhou. Also, daisuushii is only 1 yakuman.

>>16139125
APP STATUS: UNINSTALLED

>>16141864
Yep, Renhou isn't even counted as a yaku. I was only able to get the ron because I had a haku ankou.

Help me, /jp/. I can't figure out what 4-yaku hand the game is telling me I can get. One yaku is from the dragons, so it would be a 3-yaku hand. I keep going over the list of hands but I don't get it.

>>16144559
Hatsu toitoi akadora.

>>16144616
No, that's the weird part. If I discard the 5 and get a 4, I will no longer have toitoi. Also, dora are not included in that number as the game is telling me I'd get 1 yaku on a 7 (which is correct; 1 yaku from the dragons and 2 dora). So either the game is fucking with me, or there's another hand to be made here.

>>16144670
They want you go go sankantsu hatsu and win either by rinshan or chankan.

>>16144559
Where does it say that you can get a 4-yaku hand? Those numbers tell you how many of each tile have yet to be dealt, in other words that you have 5 winning tiles.

>>16144670
That counter is amount of tiles, not han

>>16144703
>>16144695
Damn, I knew I was being dumb somehow but I never realized my mistake was that stupid. This changes a lot. Thank you very much.

What is your stat for November so far?

>1+5+1+0 = 7戦

>>16147261
Net negative.

What do you discard from these?

Situation: early in the game, no chance for for sanshoku, chanta or tanyao, neutral score

>>16147330
At least show us the rest of the hand.
If based on this alone I'll probably discard 9p coz it's least likely to form a sequence.

Getting 3 consecutive games as first dealer is a sign that you are not blessed.

>>16153052
The very foundation of "greentext stories" was misusing the quote function. Things like that and ">mfw" (which was auto-banned text at one point in time) have led to the current "shitposting as a culture" mentality that is ruining the site these days.

Please refrain from such activities on /jp/.

>>16148175
I discard 9s.
Already have 2 shuntsu and 2 ryanmen so I only need to finish them and get a pair. So the only sensible discard choices are 79p and 79s.
If I want to keep my chances for an ikkitsukan I would discard the bamboo first because there is one tile less to complete it (discarded 6s). Plus pinzu is the dora's suit.
And I discard 9s because it's the less likely to become a pair as it was already discarded once.

>>16153811
Oh shit I didn't see the 8p discarded so that makes it even, wait wise. Still choose a pinzu ikkitsukan anyway because it's the dora suit.

>>16153365
Literally no one gives a shit. Don't junk up the thread with your garbage.

>>16148175
9s, push for itsu dora, eventually tossing the 7s if it isn't too risky

My first ever Yakuman (suu kantsu) in the fourth round, this December has started off very well.

http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016120123gm-0009-0000-4cc0f61c&tw=1

The sheer amount of luck needed to pull it off though (the 7m kan giving me the final hatsu) is making me worried that I might have accidentally sold my soul to the mahjong devil.

>>16174989
The hand is 3-shanten and the leader is in riichi with 5 dora which is at least haneman so 100% betaori.
Characters are the most dangerous tiles I think because he didn't discard any before his riichi.
Bamboo is not that safe either because he kept that 3-sou last, just before riichi so maybe he has a wait not far from it.
I guess Circles are the safest because his kan acts somewhat like a kabe and the fact that he threw that 7-pin earlier means he was settled on his 5-pin ankou otherwise he would have kept it ?
I would throw the 8-pin.

You don't have any yaku.

>>16191996
Look up the wikipedia list of yaku. Your hand has to have at least one of them to win.

Mahjong would be a pretty shit game if all you had to do was make any 'hand' as quickly as possible. There's more to it than that.

>>16191996
>what is a yaku
see >>16163599

>>16192069
>Mahjong would be a pretty shit game if all you had to do was make any 'hand' as quickly as possible
The chinks sometimes do that, they have like a gazillion yaku
One of them is the yakuless hand yaku.

>>16192143
>yakuless yaku
Simply marvelous.

>>16192185
I believe it's actually because there are so many fucking yaku in the full list (that most people don't use here, they generally just agree on which ones count and the rules before they start playing) that actually getting a yakuless hand is an achievement in and of itself.
For example, any kan at all is a yaku. I believe a closed hand is a yaku, as is tsumo, as is a hell wait, or a fully opened hand, or three pons, or even a closed triplet of ANYTHING.
The han counts are insane though. Kokushi Musou is 64 han, iirc, and Tenhou is 168. Going for a lot of tiny hands isn't that great when you consider that winning ten times with a 1 han garbage hand is powerless in the face of a single honitsu.

>>16192185
I think it's just that in Chinese mahjong, they give you points based on the hands complexity (triplets and so) wether you have a yaku or not.

>>16192201
Basically this
You CAN win with a garbage hand over and over, there's just very little incentive to because you're likely to get shitstomped in the one round out of sixteen you failed.
Also, flower and season tiles, which can either be a free yaku each or a metric shitton altogether (when they're set aside like bonuses) or wildcards that can be anything you need to complete a hand (which is bullshit).

>My first ever Yakuman (suu kantsu)
Realize this. Some people could be chasing that yakuman for all their lives and never get it.

>>16192006
I know it's extremely lazy on their part, but the site doesn't actually inform you on yaku

>>16194197
Scroll down.

>>16194004
This. Also, as your skill level goes up, the probability of getting suukantsu goes down.

>>16194197
Their alert message is "No multiplier", I don't know why they didn't just keep "No yaku".

All in all, Chinese mahjong, through the modularity of their scoring system, allows for more flexible and strategic play. The Japanese system of having few, very strict scoring hands makes riichi mahjong a game of luck unsuitable for competitive play.
Chinese mahjong is like go, Japanese mahjong is like checkers with dice throws.

>>16195242
yeah, no

>>16195242
>bait
Except it's the other way around.

>>16195248
>>bait
Calling opinions you disagree with bait is disingenuous. Japanese mahjong is worse than competitive mahjong and it disappoints me every day to see people play inferior games just because they want to pretend it's /jp/ - Japan Only

>>16195277
>no pond for each player's discards

>can win with anything

>>16195299
>>jokers
Are you talking about American mahjong? Competitive Chinese mahjong has no jokers, and people discard into their own discard piles.
You seem to be misinformed. I recommend you read this:
>>16189790

>>16195277
I'm sorry you can't get past R1500, anon.

>>16195242
>>16195277
Don't do this. This is /jp/, a board for Japanese culture, and specifically a thread therefore for Japanese Mahjong. However much you think it sounds stupid, it's true.
Games are games. There is no such thing as an inferior game as long as you're having fun, and certainly nothing as far as 'better for competitive play' - competitive play can be achieved at all levels as long as the game is sufficiently complex so you can't just memorize the best play, and everyone actually knows the rules.

>>16195299
>no pond
I've never heard of this rule.

>everybody pays the winner
That's sometimes a rule yes. Dealer gets double wins and losses.

>can win with anything
Right, but a garbage hand worth 1 han 15 times still loses to the one time someone managed honitsu.

>jokers
The flower tiles? Those generally add han. Nobody uses them as jokers.

>bonus tiles
Yeah, the flower tiles. Basically, permanent aka-dora you get on draw.

>>16195504
>There is no such thing as an inferior game as long as you're having fun
In reality, you're right.
However, I think /jp/ is about otaku culture rather than Japanese culture.

>>16195517
You're technically right I guess but you get the idea
The Chinese don't really have an equivalent of otaku and people who play mahjong are usually old guys anyway, or the rare college people who brought a set, so in any case /jp/ is probably not the place to talk about Chinese mahjong and definitely not the place to shill it.

>>no pond
>I've never heard of this rule.

I think he meant no organized discards and by extension no enforcement of furiten.

>>16199302
There's generally no furiten at all, especially in versions where 'dianhu' (ron) is differentiated from 'zimohu' (tsumoho), where one of the riskier moves is to 'tingpai' (riichi), then discard your winning tile so hopefully some schmuck dodges by following your lead.

>>16195313
>people discard into their own discard piles
No, Chinese discards simply put the tiles where ever in the middle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVIDtkkJqc4

See? They don't give a fuck where the discards go.

>>16202903
Those are just some random shmucks playing.
I looked up a professional game and they have proper discard piles.

How does one decide to attempt a 13 orphans?

>>16202994
Ryanshanten or less. Otherwise: abortive draw

>>16202994
The rule of thumb is starting with 10 useful tiles. If you get two pairs of terminals, don't count all 4 of those tiles, since you'll only be able to use 3.

>is any of the stuff for kokushi the dealer indicator?
>are you feeling lucky?

And other such questions.

>>16202994
9 tiles is abortive
10 is ok but you may as well abort if you don't need the points
11+ is cool

That's not so irritating. A few days ago I met a 5-dan R1850~ in joukyuu.

I started playing two weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. I'm getting a little better but I still routinely make terrible decisions. I expect that will go on for a while.

>>16217609
>I expect that will go on for a while.

You will never stop.

>>16217967

I'm still kicking myself for fucking up my rank-up chance over the weekend with two absolutely retarded plays

>>16209412

Tacos is horrible but the rest was awesome and had some fun mahjong play to watch. Just tune out tacos-sama.

>Took months to go from 1dan to 2
>Hit 3dan less than two weeks later

>>16215371
I've seen a 7-dan in joukyuu once.

>>16220821
I assume tokujo gets sparse sometimes so these guys head over there for a game

I'm terrified.

>>16220643
Enjoy hitting 4dan soon, and then welcome to hell.

>>16222515
I keep hearing about the 4dan wall. What's that all about?

>>16222639
The penalties for last place get progressively worse as you advance in ranks. I guess that 4dan is around the point where most people simply can't consistently make big points wins.

I imagine that a lot of people in 4dan are also aiming for tokujou, so simply playing a last place avoidance style could save you from losing points but not from losing R that you need to move forward properly. You have to seriously consider R balance alongside point balance, which I don't think most people do before 4dan.

>>16222686
Two things to note about 4dan in joukyuu.

>It takes 3 games minimum to make up one 4th place game.

>Most opponents at this point should have a lower R. This means R can bleed from losses, while gains may not make up as much.

At the same time, skill at 4dan also means the ability to beat a majority of players in joukyuu. That's how it should be and all up to the individual.

>>16222639
How high is your R?

To get in Tokujo you have to be at least 1800

Time to quit mahjong.

>>16220643
Pretty much the same here and I got stuck in 3dan ever since. Took me forever to just break even to 600/1200.

It's been a week since I quit tenhou.

I feel free.

I hardly know what I'm doing but this seems like a really bad win.

>>16227134

I had to add a rule for myself. If I get more than 1 4th in a row, I have to stop for at least an hour. It does a good job of limiting the idiocy.

You have to listen to the little Akagi in your head, most of the times he's right.

>>16238952
Little akagi tells me that 3sou is dangerous

"But little akagi, I'll be in tenpai for a haneman!"

Tells me to look at the pond, clearly a bad choice, better to retreat

>Give in to the lure of the gyakuten and deal 3sou

I wish I could say that I learned my lesson after that...

>>16240459

Beware of misclicking.

I wanted to drop 9-pin instead. But no... I gave up chun tsumo dora 2, with that fuck up.

Oh well, I won in the end anyways.

>>16240459
Maybe check if there's a mahjong club near you.

Playing through ippan a second time is a form of punishment.

So who wants to review my replay with me, I got fucking destroyed :
http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016121201gm-0089-0000-611430d0&tw=0

E2 : I should have discarded the 9p at the very end. I wasn't tenpai anyway so better discard a safe tile.
E3 1st honba : I was retarded, didn't pay attention to the dealer's discard of 6m when he already had a 9m pon. It was clearly chinitsu tenpai. It was fast though.

I feel like I had the worst draws ever and fucking chinitsu/honitsu everywhere.

>>16244075
When you dealt into the chinitsu, you draw a suspect 4m, which y'should've gotten rid of immediately because you were not gonna use it. Instead, you let it linger in the hand for a couple turns; by then, it's too late.

>>16244600
Oh yeah absolutely right. That's what they call sakigiri.

When if ever should one riichi on a single wait?

>>16245143
If you're desperate for a win, you can see all the dora, nobody else seems to have anything particularly dangerous, and you don't have yaku.

So, almost never.

>>16245143
If it's really early in the round or if you're targetting a specific yaku.

So I was 1+0+0+0 in joukyou and after playing today I am 1+1+3+2 and lost my fucking rating. I saw some fucking bullshit.

>>16240459
If you're in the LA area there's a jansou with automatic tables that also hosts meetups every other week. Playing there has drastically improved my tenhou performance.

Elsewhere in the world, you might consider using the meetup app or some other hobby network like Craigslist (insert gay rape joke)

One of the best places to meet interested folks is at anime cons. Come prepared with some tiles and a way for folks to reach out and you might get a decent crowd.
