Has anyone seen this video before? Does he cover the rules in a satisfactory enough way?

>>24411299
I watched some of it when I was a beginner, but I don't think it's a good way of learning the game. It's comprehensive, for sure, but you'd be better off reading some shorter beginner guide and then playing until you "get it". You could also try the tutorial on Mahjong Soul.

Got to this part, he says not to go for honitsu, but what's the alternative here?
Please be patient I'm retard

>>24412883
well, that's quite a shitty book if the dora is not indicated.

assuming we want big points, it's best to go for chiitoi and/or menzen riichi.

(if the dora is manzu, balancing between chiitoi and honitsu is also an option)

in a real game, you could go for a honitsu if speed was important (for example in all last)

anyone wanna schedule some games?

>>24413156
yeah sure give a GMT time and I'll see if I can make it

how am i doing? Started 2 weeks ago , only know pinfu, chiitoitsu and tanyao lmaao

>>24417852
just learn yakuhai and honiisu and you'll know everything you need to win

>>24417852
you should learn about dora and red dora as well ;) for your performance, well, you've got room for improvement. with a less than 50% rentai ritsu (first+second place combined, the stat translated as "half) you're part of the losing side of this table. you shouldn't worry though, as you've got the most important part down: playing lots of games. keep it up, anytime you encounter something you don't get read up on it, and you'll wreck those noobs in less than a month's time

I got my first yakuman a couple days ago, kokushi musou where I declined the 9 terminals redraw at the start because I wanted to go for it

but in the future when should take the redraw and when should I stick with my hand? how many shanten should I be before I should stick?

I only started playing on Saturday and I'm really enjoying it. Before now I had always found that tutorials and videos tried to throw everything at you at once, But I randomly came across a video and a website so I hope it can help others wanting to learn but are feeling a bit daunted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpgcQ3A3PVE

https://www.mjstars.net/beginner-s-lessons-1

I like to play Mahjong. I keep losing but I think I will get better if I keep playing.

>>24437678
That's the spirit. I'm getting close to 2k games played and my ranking points have hit a wall, but I think I'm enjoying mahjong more than ever.

everytime i go riichi when there other guy in riichi , i feel like we both got a revolver with one bullet in the cylinder jammed in our mouths and we are clicking away
feels breddy good desu

just got to the "expert" mahjsoul room how does it compare skill-wise to tenhou's lobbies?

>>24465378
depends on who you ask. try comparing the last place penalties

in my experience bronze room is weaker than ippan, silver is weaker than joukyuu and gold is weaker than tokujou.

>>24465378
Gold is like 1-2 dan, Jade is like 3-5 dan, Throne is like 6-8 dan.

https://youtu.be/4Rx6XTrcZKg
just read the article by ZERO on this yomi. also I'm reccing both zero's note magazine and Kihara's nico blog magazine for those who want to improve. they're not great for beginners, but once you get to say, tokujou, it's better to fill the gaps in your knowledge than reading books (in my opinion)

just went past 1700 games played today. thankfully game #1700 was a top

won 3 rounds in a row and came first with like 550 points
fuck me the flow is real after all

Got my first Yakuman

>>24481359
Nice! Be sure to store the replay in a safe place so you can rewatch it and feel good in unluckier times.

one rasu away from dropping down to 4dan lmao (which has never happened to me)

>>24491187
actually it already happened to me once (and it happened again, lmao). either way this is a faster way to get to 1000/2000

>>24472114

well, guess I'll give the fortune charm a go since I can't buy any summons scrolls in the fortune shop anymore.

do you think it's best to wait and do a 10x roll or does it not make a difference?

how to play with friends on tenhou?

fucken taro started a youtube channel, the absolute madman

robots play 3p

won like 5 hands in a row as dealer, kinda feels like it's never going to get better than this, should I quit

how the fuck do the mahjong soul currencies and items and shit work? there's like 50 currencies and a billion items that I have no idea what I'm supposed be doing with

>>24554422
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. But no, we have to keep striving for bigger and more stunning victories!

>>24529893
Can't do 10x rolls with scrolls, you can only use those one at a time.
Definitely wait until you have 1800 jade

藤井聡太 almost got tenhoui today but then he got last. dude is already a double tenhoui (sanma + yonma). he's STRONG

https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/#!&name=%E8%97%A4%E4%BA%95%E8%81%A1%E5%A4%AA

>>24561812
thanks, will do.

Is it harder to get a dude than a chick avatar? feels like I see tons of the non-standard bitches but rarely see men. is it just a bunch of fags LARPing as cuties?

>>24562778
no, the drop rates are the same, they're just separate rolls
since there are less dudes, it's actually more likely that you get the one you want

>>24562778
The male characters were added way later so a lot of people already had the female characters, plus the free event character was also female.

I'm too pussy in oorasu and always get gyakutenned (´・ω・`)

>>24394476
Fucking Yakuza Kiwami 2 forcing me to look this up

藤井聡太 3ma + 4ma tenhoui (+ 4ma tenhoui on his other acc). dude is pretty good

only triple tenhoui so far. if he gets tonpuu-only tenhoui too then it's like he basically 100%-d tenhou

>tfw very lucky and afraid that my luck will run out

>>24613256
It's beautiful

>>24612256
I haven't gotten a yakuman in half a year or so and I probably play more than you

so I got chiitoitsu, but in there I got 6-7-8 man twice
should I not get +1 han for iippeikou as well?

pls dont bully im new at this

>>24615203
i meant 4-5-6 as seen in picture

>>24615203
your hand structure 7 pairs, while iipeikou's condition is 2 matching sequences, thus you don't have the blocks of 456-456 man, you have the blocks of 44-55-66 man

>>24615422
that's kinda gay not gonna lie

>>24615149
heaven's blessing alright

Tenhou lag yomi is fun.

shimocha's 6p lag + kamicha's 4p lag = toimen has 445p in his hand.

My first Yakuman :D

I think im starting to get a feel for mahjong but then i run into a hand like this and im not sure what the best move is. Its not a bad setup but its slow burning right?
I won this game but i think i couldve played it a lot better.

>>24641541
Kamicha has no souzu discards at all and they're last, so it's possible they're going for honitsu or chinitsu. (Haku is live, one of the hatsu is visible, one of the ton is visible. Something like honitsu + double ton or honitsu + haku + red dora (12000 points) is a very real possibility.)

9p is absolutely safe and I'd probably go for that if the next draw leads to tenpai (147m, 69s) or is a dangerous tile (any other souzu). If I get a 6p draw on this turn, cut the somewhat risky 9s to get to tenpai. Anything else, probably tsumogiri. Definitely would not push with 69s discard if kamicha starts dropping other souzu tiles.

What happened with the 8p discard? 67889 is usually a decent shape pre-tenpai since it accepts any of 56789p to become two complete blocks. (Unless you initially had 7889, cut the 8p, then drew a 6p later.)

>>24641541
it's a very fast and nice hand actually
you are waiting on any of 147man 69pin 69sou to get to tenpai, that's a lot of useful tiles
all you need to look out for is that the discards of your opponents lack souzu tiles, hinting towards them building souzu-heavy hands which could get pretty expensive, so you need to be careful with discarding those

>>24644614
>>24644594
Maybe i dont have as good of a grasp as i thought. This game moved me up to adept so i think what happened is i saw a good hand and panicked because i didnt want to mess it up.
Youre spot on about why i cut 8p.

Thank you both for the discard analysis. Im trying to learn how to read opponents hands but its tough. Im still learning all the yaku as well, its a lot to keep track of.

>tfw +225 again

>>24671201
just learn japanese you bitch. it's worth it just for mahjong. every day the nips make quality mahjong content on note and youtube.

From time to time my brain goes into overdrive and tells me hey, this tile is super fucking dangerous so betaori is the way to go. But since I'm retarded I drop it anyway and get absolutely fucked, last time it was double haneman ron and before that it was a sanbaiman + mangan. How do I stop being retarded?

>>24673871
you take your lumps and you develop a sense of danger.

truth is I'm very much like you, I always want to push no matter what. but I've at least convinced myself to pause and make sure the hand is worth at least a mangan so I at least have that out for myself. otherwise it's just pushing for pushing's sake

Suphx book came out today. That shit is something I /need/ so I might order some books again.

>let's just play one more before bed
yeah, not always a good idea

I just realized that I can just buy one month of kindle unlimited and download half the books I wanted to buy. This one thought just saved me 10000+ JPY

>>24729258
takes some fiddling to get it working but it works. get the "free books", everyone!

>>24742177
how viable is it to read these books via a machine translator?

>>24742871
first of all you need some good OCR because these ebooks are just a series of pictures, not something you can copy paste

besides that I have no idea how well machine translators can deal with mahjong lingo.

here's a little sample from a book that has very simple language

>>24743441
can you tell me what the question is and I'll compare, thanks

>>24743441
>>24745078

here's the Google translate version:

Q.16 East 1 station 1000 points Agari heading or not going out E "E East 1st station made a mouth with such a hand in the first round. You may be ag to pong, but release The chances of shooting a gun also increase.Is it okay if I score 1000 points in the East 1 station because it doesn't matter to the grade, or do I find the value at 1000 points and go to Aga?

>>24745078
east 1 turn 1, you got this hand and this little nigga haku is discarded. if you pon that bitch you might get a fast agari, but the chances of dealing in also increase.

even if you get a 1000 points in east-1, would that really affect your final placement? should you pass on this haku? or the 1000 points are worth it, meaning that you should pon that motherfucka and make it yourz?

>>24745573
given the actual translation you provided vs the machine one I posted, I think I'll pass on getting these books.

Why is it rich

i want this thread to still be here after work

>>24758477
let's start talking so we don't just keep bumping for no reason.

What have you done to improve your Mahjong recently?

I've mostly been just trying to up the amount of games I play. I've got a pretty good grasp on things right now, I just need to "up my accuracy" if you know what I mean. Things like comparing tile safety every turn you need to, thinking about what you're gonna do with each tsumo beforehand, counting suji, being aware of the points of everyone and what move they're likely to make, keeping an eye on how many turns are left, who is haitei, always counting the number of tiles left on your waits, etc.

It's all this boring stuff that separates a decent player from a pretty strong one (in my opinion).

>>24760633
I've been thinking of what to focus my own improvement on, and I really wanna get good at roughly estimating the contents of players' hands and the wall, beyond defensive reads of specific waits. Figuring out what might be likely to overflow from your kamicha's hand or which tiles are likely tied up beyond obvious cases like honitsu would be a great boon to strategizing your own hand development.

>>24760633
nothing. I only play for enjoyment. whatever improvement or growth I might have had, it came from osmosis from playing games.

>>24394476

>>24394476
>oh mahjong soul is out on steam
>Looks pretty handy to get my friends into it
>not availble in your region
What the hell is this only for fucking chinks or what?

>>24777119
yeah, it's only the china server version so far

>>24554450
It's a lot, but here's a breakdown:

Copper Coins are the only currency that effect gameplay at all. Once you're able to play in the Silver Room you have to pay a small fee per game. 1st and 2nd gain coins, 3rd and 4th lose some. You can also use large amounts of them to buy gift items which increase your Bond rating with the characters.

Jade is the primary paid currency. Charge money, get Jade. This is a gacha game, so everything is done with rolls for characters, items, and animations. The app will tell you what the odds are. The cheapest way to play is to go to the Event tab and buy the Fortune Charm for $5, which grants you 300 + 1800 Jade over 30 days. Slow but very money efficient.

Faith tokens are given for every summon roll you do. 150 will buy you any character you want, 50 will buy any animation or riichi stick you want.

Wishing Stones are a currency granted if you get a duplicate character on a summon roll. They can buy Purple (the best) tier gifts and Bonding Spheres, both of which are needed to gain a special character outfit at maximum bond level.

Star Stones are a currency granted for duplicate cosmetics and animations on a summon roll. They can buy a few kinds of cosmetic things, as well as Blue tier gifts which are good for raising bond levels.

Star Dust is gained by converting gifts at a rate of Green (1), Blue (5), Purple (25). These can be used to buy a random gift bag from each tier, or a Summon Scroll for 50 that lets you do a Summon Roll. Since gifts are picked up after a certain number of games in rooms Silver and higher, you could technically use this currency to get Summon Rolls without paying anything.

No idea about Outfit Vouchers, as nothing has been in that tab since I started playing. Holiday outfits maybe?

Hope that helps.

I'm rereading Akagi and feel like I'd want to try the game. I know the roolz but what's the general strategy?

I remember reading about some gacha mahjong with cute avatars. Does anyone know its name?

>>24782901
I'm dumb

>>24729258
Any chance you could share those books?

>>24743441

>>24784844
I'll think about it, but likely not.
1: no one's gonna read them anyway
2: if someone did want to read them then 990 yen for like ~75% of mahjong strategy books worth reading is practically free (I've spent 50k+ jpy on mahjong books)
3: I have no idea whether amazon embeds any personal data in the files and I don't wanna bother checking
>>24784945
kek

>>24786103
Try googling how to remove the drm from amazon book

>>24786989
I know how to do that, but the tool explicitly says it doesn't remove any personal information. While the files might be very unlikely to contain my personal info, I'm not willing to take even the smallest amount of risk for literally no benefit

>>24781139
>No idea about Outfit Vouchers, as nothing has been in that tab since I started playing. Holiday outfits maybe?
Yeah, it's for event outfits. You can only buy it with real money, and you can convert any leftovers into jade (but not in the other direction)

is there a word for the feeling when you discard a tile and then proceed to draw the same tile three times in a row

Stop playing Soul

>>24786103
Well, I asked because I intended to read them, but I guess you're right, I don't really mind paying 1k if it's just once.

>>24789820
It's why I never discard a lone honor tiles. I always believe in them!

How good/bad are the bots in the gamdesign version in the OP? I seem to be doing alright against them, but I have no idea how they compare to actual players since I haven't played online yet.

What's the mahjong equivalent of Better moves for better Shogi

>>24394476
Godamnit. I was having a great comeback after the first round where 2 guys Ron'd on my discard, but then the server fucked up and it couldn't find the room again. I had to re-enter the verification code twice before it loading up the room. And when it came back it was already too late and I ended up in 2nd.

>>24790525
What other options are in english and have cute girls?

>>24814137
ignore the tenhou tryhards. mahjsoul and other clients are fine

>>24814206
I just want to play a good game with cute girls. This Flow shit is worse than superpowers, since you don't even know when it's affecting the game, since it doesn't fuck up the players, all it does is increase the odds of players getting yakus.
Knowing this fucking ruined it for me.
I'm going to download Hime Mahjong and hope that my minimum understanding of japanese is enough to play the game.

>>24814521
you know that "flow" picture is a joke right? there's no such system

>>24810907
I don't know if the AI has changed, but the last time I played it, it was somewhat worse than Tenhou's joukyuu players, maybe on par with Tenhou's ippan.

Getting hit by 3 Rons in a row does something to the soul. All within temapi...

>>24924203
I know that feel. I dealt into 3 rons last game. One of them was on a flush as well, i was waiting on a 7 pin.

>>24924343
Oddly enough after a 30 minute break I'm more motivated than ever to get back in there. Time to break someone else spirit

>>24924203
I used to get mad too, but you just get used to it. The more you play the less it hurts.

Just started playing a day ago and I need drastic help. Whenever I come across a jumble of the same suits I have a hard time parsing though them. My mind shutdown when I came across this earlier trying to figure out what step to take first. Ignore my discards for now. That's a different problem of itself.

>>24935555
learn about "block theory"

>>24935555
It's difficult to explain without going into more complex theories of tile efficiency, but the gist of it is that you need to be looking at the gaps in your sets that will complete them, rather than the tiles themselves.

1223m is technically complete but could expand into two sets by drawing a 1m or 3m, while a 2m would make a 123m and 2m pair (useless here, since you have three disconnected pairs already.) The 556m shape could be completed with another 5m (unlikely as there is one in West's pond, leaving only one possible remaining) or a 4m or 7m. Your pairs could all be called, though you shouldn't unless the Haku is dropped first since otherwise you have no yaku with an open hand.

So with all that crap in mind, the optimal route to win here is to drop the 2m, drop the 5m on a 4m-7m draw, call or draw the Haku, wait on whatever set remains. In reality though you're unlikely to win this hand, since South appears to be in tenpai, you're still three away from winning, and Haku being dora makes it unlikely anyone will drop it. The other two could even be part of South's wait.

>>24939835
Actually looking back at this, North dropped a Haku two turns prior. You should have called that immediately unless you didn't have the pair yet. Calling a dragon triplet with an otherwise garbage hand isn't the best play, but a triplet of dora dragons is an instant mangan with total flexibility.

>>24936217
That actually helps. Back to the practice stage.
>>24939835
I did indeed have the ability to call that haku but since my brain went into panic mode I dropped everything that wouldn't get me into a half flush. Looking back at it now I wasn't even close for that.
>>24940060
I'll keep that in mind. I need to quickly memorize all the yakus before my string of losses becomes too much to bear.

>>24942480
Mahjong is a long and painful road of steady improvement. Good understanding of the yaku and how to build towards them is a great place to start.

I'd recommend putting particular focus of Pinfu. Despite it seeming a bit complex with its rules, it's the most common hand in the game at a higher level and will win you hands more often than you imagine. If nothing looks to be coming together by the middle row of discards, you should be thinking, "How can I finish this as Pinfu?"

>finally get enough Jade for a 10 roll
>would be happy with any new character except one
>get the one I didn't want

fuuuuuck

>so pissed I cash in some bullshit survey money and buy 1800 Jade
>roll again
>no characters gained

FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK

>>24924203
It only really annoys me when I realise straight after I made obvious mistake or wasn't paying enough attention

also: once the summon scrolls are.sold out, when can I expect more inventory to arrive?

>>24939835
Wouldn't aiming for chiitoitsu be better here, as he's only one away?

>>24942841
>If nothing looks to be coming together by the middle row of discards, you should be thinking, "How can I finish this as Pinfu?"
this doesn't seem like good advice
>it's the most common hand in the game at a higher level
this is false, pinfu is only in ~20% of hands (http://tenhou.net/sc/prof.html))

pinfu is only relevant with a particular kind of hand shape, and those hands basically automatically end up as pinfu, without the player even thinking about it

if "nothing looks to be coming together by the middle row of discards" then I think it's bad advice to go for pinfu. if it's a hand where pinfu is realistic, then you won't think "nothing looks to be coming together by the middle row of discards"

I think the best way to absorb the yaku naturally is to play a lot + watch decent people's mahjong streams (+ learn about block theory as I've already said)

did abema just fuck foreigners? I still don't see it on the schedule, even though I see tomorrow's saikyousen. what the fuck is this?

>>24951747
Do people here still play on 7447?

>>24948774
You're right that ~80% of winning hands don't end up as pinfu and trying to force pinfu in every hand is stupid, but just to nitpick, yakuhai is ~30-35% (combined across winds and dragons), tanyao and pinfu are ~20% each, and the next highest ones are honitsu, iipeikou and sanshoku at ~4% each. Pinfu isn't quite the most common yaku, but it's third place with a huge gap between that and fourth place.

>>24954313

different clients have different eng and they all feel different from a rl game.

point being, find one you feel at home and don't overthink the flow boogeymen

Im a scrub but in my experience chiitoitsu is a lie and never comes to fruition. Its all there just to give you hope and take it away

How do I stop being retarded? The moment I see 3 pairs in my hand I want to toitoi and start calling pons.
I'm a new player

It does and I've been playing for less than a week.

realise that cheap toitoi is not worth it, if you don't have yakuhai or really easily callable tiles then just go for chiitoi (or a regular hand)

also before anyone says that my answer is wrong and brings up a specific case: ask specific questions if you want specific answers. you're only gonna get a simplification if you ask oversimplified questions

HOLY FUCK HORI-SAN IN M RIIGU
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHH
just when my m-league boner died down it's hard again

I could possibly make it to sanma houou faster than 4ma

How do you tell if you're fucking up or just unlucky with this game? I've had a losing streak on Majsoul that seems statistically unlikely, but it's also full of me losing promising hands after like 10 turns and getting Ron'd on for discarding terminals and other shit that I couldn't find any particular danger for.

if you've been playing for less than a year or so then you've probably made some more or less severe mistakes. whether they have cost you the game or not is something that is nigh impossible to determine

What was your face when you saw this?

Did I just get ddos'd from mahsoul? Riichi'd first round, disconnected, and couldn't reconnect. Only back in main menu now that games over.

Been getting really into Mahjong the last few weeks. I'm really starting to develop more of a rounded approach to my game and carefully select my tiles. But man, nothing feels better than winning on an All Last.

>>25085542
I think saki does a better job of showing how to play than akagi. It still the same amount of unreal magic players and hands but it goes a but more in depth on strategy. More than just "flow" and "magic sand" at least.

I've gotten fourth place four times in a row in MajSoul's silver room now. I can't think of any really obvious fuckups I'm making and I often get into tenpai with decent hands just to get sniped midway through a round. I have no clue how to improve, as far as I can tell I'm making OK hands

>>24412883
Because even though you have 5 blocks for honitsu, you don't have any value honors, so it's gonna be 2 han (which is 2k pts).
It's better to go for pure efficiency since you have a 45p ryanmen and aim for riichi, while keeping your chiitoi option open. So that means you should discard 1m and you'll have 246m ryankan, 88m pair, 45p ryanmen, and the other 3 pairs.

What does it say you weeb

How am I in furiten? I didn't discard a 6,9-pin. I couldn't even ron the the guy across from me

>>25135840
You're also furiten until your next discard if you pass up a ron. Or if you're in riichi, then you're permanently in furiten.

>>25135840
Learn the fucking rules, you idiot.

>>25135840
i'm new, but i think you don't have yaku

>>25135840
What >>25153608 said; you have no yaku. While 西 is your seat wind, you need a triplet of it to count as a yaku.

>>25135840
so to put the above posts together:
- You got hit with a temporary furiten, because someone discarded a tile that could have completed your hand and you did not ron it. It will go away after your next discard
- You could not ron that tile because you have no yaku. Dora is not a yaku, they are bonus points that get added after your hand has won, so right now your hand is still worth 0 han.
- The easiest way to make that hand valid is discarding one of the fives and getting another west tile. Alternatively, discard both winds and go for tanyao.
