I had some hot months in both February and March. Hell, I started February at 5 / 1600 on the verge of dropping to 3dan from 4. Instead, I rank all the way up to my peak, only to fall into a steep crash this month.

Hopefully, I can stabilize that.

1931 to 1684 here. It's reidiculous right now. Just from my last game alone:
E1: Opponnent wins witha dora riplet on turn 5
E2: Opponent wins with a dora triplet on turn 4
E3: Opponent wins with a dama mangan hand on turn 6
E4: Dealer calls riichi on turn 4. I discard South, ippatsu, 2 ura dora, dealer mangan.

Which would you discard?

I chose 8 pin but then I drew and discarded it again, and again. And ended in a bad tanki wait around the dora.

Maybe that was bad luck. But I look and think maybe 2 pin was the better discard here.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 21 23:34:32 2018 No.18870129 >>18869913 2p would be better discard IMO. If you complete manzu sequence, previous 2p discard will give you double tanki 58p, but 8p discard will force you to end up in tanki 2p or 3p.

>>18869913
Your 567sou are a complete meld so you can rule that out. Since you don't have an obvious pair yet, the 5678pin shape is very valuable to you. Of the two remaining edge wait candidates you'll need to break up one of them. 56man already has the dora built in whereas the 23pin needs the 1pin to increase your hand value. So I would probably discard 3pin since 2pin is normally safer to discard later but since it's closer to a dora, that might not be the case.

Because it usually forces you to add sanshoku which is 3900 and just a dora will get you all the way to mangan. It's also really hard to guess as you normally throw honors fairly early meaning people let their guards down since it obviously isn't kokushi. Chanta is a bad yaku without a bunch of dora since it usually only stacks with yakuhai.

This was weird! Imagine having a suuankou tenpai on your hands just to riichi because I was sure it's bad news if both my pairs were otherwise live. This makes no sense whatsoever. And I still got this E2 tsumo dealer yakuman for the first time in my life completely thinking free.
http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2018042306gm-0009-0000-4af6a68d&tw=0

the question is, did I do the right thing? Would you do the same? I looked at my thee dudes and all of them were beginners like me, two latin names and a noname. I decided to play basically doing nothing to let them find out who is the second one in relative peace,
>he is at it again! only pretending to be retarded!
nobody pulled the plug, and these 5 hands worth of nothing later two not-noname guys finished the hanchan between themselves, the one who was in the second fucked up by pushing their hand with only 2 sets and a pair complete towards riichi, giving an ippatsu as well. Besides that, it was just s1 and they had enough to pay the max possible 3k noten penalty.

Riichi is usually the right call. You can only yakuman by tsumo, and making your opponents fold gives you more chances to draw. If someone deals in, it's guaranteed mangan, easily haneman and possibly baiman.
Although in this case it might have been wise to stay dama. If you can't tsumo, ron on the East (and only the East, maybe only on the second East) for haneman. Good chances of haneman or yakuman

That is mostly backwards. When there are more players on the average skill level drops. This is a combination of more casual/rusty players and that people from higher rooms are less likely to feel a need to drop down to find games. When people get hyper-aggressive you have to punish them with a big riichi.

You mostly just need to remember the 30-40fu columns, to be honest. Fu counting gets rounded up regardless so it's pretty easy to estimate without remembering every little calculations.

You're probably only posting this because you lucked your way into a huge win, but you deserve to have lost. You don't chase with chiitoitsu, you don't discard live dora (or live anything really) against a riichi in S4 when you can just sit back and secure third place without doing anything, and you certainly don't do any of this with a hell wait. It may have worked out for you this time but if you try it again you'll get what's coming to you.

I mean, sure, it's ippan (or possibly 7447) so there's nothing to lose by going balls to the walls, but you should avoid doing dumb things too often or you'll develop bad habits that will bite you in the ass later.

Sorry for taking so long, something came up (either my PSU or GPU is finished)

Anyways, I was tied and the other guy was dealer.
I never dealt in but had to pay up for my dealer turns because of mangan tsumos. I tried not to deal in and then I realized something.
He threw away the 1man first so I doubt he planned on waiting for the dora but more importantly
I have to deal the dora for riichi and have only two draws
I would be on a single-tile wait which has only one tile in play
It was too stupid not to work
Might have also helped pressuring dealer into folding which would've gotten me third.

Just imagine dropping from first place to third because of this kind of shit.

Congrats. Expect people to (mostly) know what they're doing and to (usually) not make big mistakes. You'll probably find it a bit rough at the start as you adjust to the new level of play, but once you get your foot in the door the contents of RB1 along with the higher average R should pull you up to a decent 5d level.

There's no RB2 yet, but if you're serious about mahjong you should consider learning moon and buying some strategy books.

It exists but by its very nature it's ephemeral and impossible to learn. If you're talking about "streaks", then it's obviously just confidence or lack thereof affecting decision-making. The one in the lead in mahjong has the advantage anyways, because they can go for faster hands and still end up on top.

If you're talking about "identifying the flow" or "mastering the flow", then that's just being able to read your opponents' subtle body language and discards to see how their hands are doing, and knowing when you yourself are at the top of your game, as well as working to put your mind in that state.

Of the ones in the pastebin, is Tenhou still the one that most people play on? It's been a long time since I last played, but over the couple of months I've been feeling like playing again.

Even though it went down a terrible path andd eventually died after moving to Nico Douga, the last time I really played mahjong was on Pairon (or moejong, if you will). If I feel like 'moejong' again, is the SEGA MJ-Net active enough to not go down the same path as Pairon?

>>18958750
Yes. It's no-frills online mahjong platform, to a fault that some people criticize it for 'nofun lobby grind' or 'muh last place avoidance'. Regardless, if you want to not be distracted, Tenhou is your best choice.
SEGA MJ is more flashy option with avatars and better presentation overall. It has existed for long time now so you can play that and not worry about it dying. Although it's not been talked much here, some Tenhou players I know also play SEGA MJ.

I'll probably give SEGA MJ a try, since I don't play mahjong seriously anyway.

I see that the google doc on it mention that it has the usual microtransaction stuff on it, though most of it seems to be on being able to join official matches, tournaments and the character/voice gacha thing. One thing I'd have to ask though, since I did play Pairon and it had this sort of stuff - does SEGA MJ have bullshit like 'skill cards' (from items or characters) that did certain things, like make your opponents able to pick marbles only for the next x turns or in the extreme case of some 'SSR' characters, made you draw a nearly completed yakuman on round start?

What the hell is going on?

For the second baiman, I had the choice between a shanpon wait on dora 2m and 5m, or a single wait for 7m (iipeikou). 7m sounds better but there were no more 7m in the walls or that'd get discarded, so waiting on the dora was the only choice that could have worked at all.

Scary how sometimes, it's the statistically wrong move that'll be the right one. Hard to tell when's the time though.

No, it's still pure mahjong game. Microtransaction in SEGA MJ is for playing more games (which kinda sorta makes it limited f2p, but it's not much of a problem if you play well) and cosmetics.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 6 14:36:02 2018 No.18969387 Started playing this a week ago. Slowly getting the hang of the hands and what to discard and whatnot However, I have serious trouble getting ron'd How do I guess what hands they're going for by the discards? Memorizing all the possible hands?

Anonymous Sun May 6 15:02:40 2018 No.18969482

>>18969387
There's actually a lot to it. You'll memorize the possible hands by playing, the most important ones are:
Riichi, menzen tsumo, pinfu, tanyao, iipeikou, sanshoku doujun
Yakuhai, honitsu/chinitsu, chanta/junchan, itsu, Toitoi, chiitoitsu

Speaking of defense, for example if the guy doesn't discard one family of numbered tiles but throws away all his other families of numbered tiles then he's likely trying to make a honitsu or chinitsu with the one family he hasn't discarded. Which means he's gonna wait on this family or maybe on honor tiles.
For example, if the guy wants to make a souzu (bamboo) honitsu or chinitsu, he'll discard lots of pinzu and character tiles, it's even more obvious if he discards strong ones (34567). Then when his hand is nearly complete he'll discard one or two bamboo or honor tiles (the ones he doesn't need for his final wait). When this happens, you might be better off avoiding to discard these tiles altogether.

The same kind of thinking applies to other hands, but there aren't that many you can easily pinpoint. I'm thinking of tanyao: if the guy throws away all his terminals (1/9/honors) and maybe even called a sequence like 345, then he's probably going for tanyao and can only wait on tiles other than terminals). There's also chanta, basically the opposite of tanyao : if the guy discards all his 456 and maybe call sequences containing terminals (123, 111, these ones), then these are dangerous.

Most of the time though, people go for pinfu+tanyao, meaning the most dangerous tiles are 34567 (most dangerous) > 28 > 19 > dragons/bonus winds > winds. If the guy discarded a lot of tile around an area then there's a good chance he's not waiting for a tile in this area. Not 100% but pretty good. Also the dora tile is usually very dangerous.

If you want to improve your defense, you should also consider suji : https://osamuko.com/umaikeiki-defense-guide-betaori-and-suji/ (omote-suji is the only really important one, don't bother too much with the others)

After playing a bit you'll memorize how different hands can stack for more points (eg chanta + yakuhai) and have a better understanding of what people are going for (= what's dangerous to discard)

>tfw you ended a dangerous round of Mahjong with a strategic and lucky 4th riichi

Happened a few weeks ago, two people riichi'd on the same turn, and then a third open riichi'd and good thing he did since I had three of his waits. I got lucky two draws later and went into tenpai, effectively ending the round with my riichi.

Made it all back later with a quick open tanyao, so it worked out quite well.

Guys, am I dumb or can you tell whether one of your opponents can call on a tile or not in Tenhou.net? Afterall he gets 5 extra s for the choice and if he lets it pass, the time is still taken and you can see that your discard "freezes" for a while, even if it drops into the discards afterwards. I can imagine this being quite useful.

What's the fourth one down that you're getting 2 han for, meant to be? All I can see in this hand is Riichi, Ippatsu, Suu ankou, Rishan Kaihou and 8 dora?

I don't play on Tenhou much, but isn't that a Yakuman anyhow? Why does it need to be counted up like they do? Am I missing something here?

Toitoi (all triplets)
It'd have been a yakuman (suu ankou, four triplets) if he had drawn his winning tile himself, but completing the last triplet with a tile your opponent discarded doesn't count as a closed triplet. So he has only three closed triplets, which is san ankou, 2 han

It's really good, a bit careless if someone riichis since you'll have to call most of your triplets but it's an easy 5200-6400-8000 points hand depending on your triplets. With a good kan it can go up to haneman. If it goes wrong you can bail out as long as you've ponned a yakuhai, or if you've ponned terminals you can go back to chanta.

Oh, I remember reading this article awhile back. It is deeply flawed, to a point where I probably would be weary of the author's advice in general about things, especially involving math and logic.

Just a small sample:
>"Do keep in mind that in parlors where, for example, every player pays 500 JPY, you are not losing 500 JPY per game: you are losing the whole total, which is 2000 JPY per game. I hope your job pays you enough JPY per hour to afford a hobby that loses you 2000 JPY every half hour."
If the table fee is split among the players, then the whole table collectively does lose that 2000 yen, but how the fuck is that your concern? You only lose the 500 yen. Unless the other three players there are all your friends and you are collectively only spending your own money?

There are tons of other problems in there. I think the author is really hardcore biased towards "Healthy(lol)" Mahjong.

Yeah that bit in particular really confused me. Maybe he means that the fee per-player is 500 yen per-player? So with 4 players, each one pays 2000 yen? Which seems convoluted and weird but I don't know.

It does reek of someone who just doesn't really understand math and numbers.

Play more to remember the combinations more easily and see which can easily be combined with which. Here's a few hints though:
>go for 3 to 6 han hands when you can, these 4000-5000 to 12 000 points hands are what actually make a difference
>for most hands, your best bet is to keep closed and combine Pinfu with Riichi and maybe Tanyao (not hard), Iipeikou (a bit harder) or even Sanshoku Doujun (really hard)
>if you have a dora/akadora, keep it, you have okay chances to draw a second one to make it a pair or to make a sequence with it. If you have to throw it, make sure it's not too late in the game and no one is ready to win
>For hands with lots (3-4) of pairs, either chiitoitsu (7 pairs) or Toitoi (all pons, better choice if you have triplets instead of pairs or if your pairs are easily ponnable, like terminals or honors)
>Lots of terminals/honors? Try chanta/junchan, can be combined with toitoi or sometimes Sanshoku Doujun (you'll often end up with a 789 for every family)
>Lots of one numbered family? Honitsu/Chinitsu.
>Dragon/Bonus wind pair and you can't make honitsu or chanta? Your hand will probably a cheap fast one unless you get 2 or more dora

There are only 10-15 crucial yaku to learn, the rarer ones will come to you in time. Play the flash game while going over them and you'll eventually get comfortable enough to start learning for real. Playing lots comes before learning depth and strategy, you need that groundwork to understand the complexity. Obviously read things like Daina Chiba's book if you like, but its lessons will probably stick a lot better with experience.

I also watched Akagi, but I watched Akagi first when it came out. I had NO clue what the fuck was going on, but I have this thing I call kinesthetics in which I will pick up a game solely because of how fun it is to fiddle around with the pieces. Mind you, I don't just fuck about, I actually learn how to play the game, but the tile porn in Akagi got me rock hard. After that I got obsessed and even made a meme for Mahjong and taught others how to play.

At that point you're dealing with supernatural retards who have absurdly good luck and claim it's all skill. And on top of that they're way better at the game than you anyways.

Only way to win is to push your luck as far as it'll go when you're doing well and retreat back as far as you can go when the wind's not in your favour.

So after playing around with it for an hour, I can safely say that this is probably the most polished Mahjong experience that has an official English release. That being said, it is probably the most bare-bones Mahjong experience you can get.

The first problem with the game is that it sucks as a teaching game. There is a huge glossary of terms, but not only does it use American Mah-jongg terms, the rules are written in offensively incomprehensible legalese on top of being Engrish. One of the options you can change is for prohibiting or allowing "After-Attaching". The description is as follows:
>When after-attaching is prohibited your hand must be determined by the first calling or concealed tiles in advanced.
Having completely forgotten what that rule was and having no idea what the fuck I just read, I checked their huge glossary they have on tap for the definition. Here's what it said:
>A hand completed after Calling or Win. You can't win with this case if after-attaching is prohibited.
I basically had to google it.

Another example of this is the name for allowing Open Tanyao:
>All Simples with Melded
The description was adequate, so I left it alone.

As for the game itself, I'll follow up with a second post.

2/2
Gameplay is very simplistic. There are no avatars and no online. You don't even get a name entry. Instead, there are five player profiles from A-E. The game tracks your stats through whichever profile you decide to use. Then you can pick the AIs and how they operate, but the AIs don't have any real personality and are named after their play style, like "Grand Slammer" for the AI I'm assuming only goes after the nearest Yakuman, and "Rarely calls". There's no animated wall, either. You just get the barebones 5 tile mobile wall and your hand.

Game runs pretty well. Just fast enough to keep things short without being so fast you have a heart attack. No time limit either, so no pressure. I think the computers might be cheating bastards though, because the first east-only and thensome I played, nobody won except the computer, and the computers ALL tsumo'd. Some of them were damaten and won ONLY with a closed tsumo. Other than that, it's very simple Mahjong. No touch screen though, so that's wasted potential.

Two player mode is interesting. Split screen with instructions for the honor system and putting a piece of paper between the two sides. The screen auto-orients itself if it's in tablet or tv mode.

All in all, it might be a good teaching tool to help other players learn the basics, or if you don't have enough people for even 3p, but I'd say it's just about worth the $5 it goes for in the store.

>>after-attaching
>What?
Ato-kaze I think is the Japanese term. It's a rule that states that you have to already have your yaku secure in your hand before you call to win. You can't have a yaku-less hand that is dependent on getting a certain tile to get a yaku.

Example: Your hand has 4-55-66 of pins as your waiting area. You have NO other Yaku in your hand. If you get a 4 pin, then you'll get Ii pei ko or Double-Run as your yaku. If you get a 7 pin, you'll have nothing. If you play with after-attaching prohibited, then you cannot win on this hand at all even with the 4 pin coming out. In otherwords, you cannot "after-attach" your yaku.

If there were a simple answer there would be a lot more people in Houou right now.

You need to adjust to the speed of the game. If everyone else is playing aggressively you need to either do so yourself or make sure to punish them when you do finally make tenpai. Good times to re-evaluate your hand are turns 6 (do I actually have anything or should I prepare to bail) and 9 (better get moving). A haneman that doesn't finish is worth less than a 1000 hand that does.

Sometimes there just isn't anything you can do, but most of the times you screwed up somewhere and the effect just wasn't immediate. Review every single game you play.

So straight up, the game just sucks. I thought that the switch game was the most bare-bones English release of Riichi, but I was proven very wrong. It's made by some literal whos and it feels like it. The graphics are awful, this is true. The guy above me somewhere said the tiles are blurry, and they are if you leave it in the default resolution. However, you can mitigate this some by upping the resolution to 1080p. What you can't do is make the game look any better. I set the game to "Ultra" graphic settings and then I set the game to the lowest settings.

I couldn't really tell the difference. Maybe some anti-aliasing was missing. I have no real idea.

What makes the game feel really bad to play though is the sound design. The tiles have this really sharp and punctuating click to them when you draw them, and this dull, clunk sound when you drop them on the table. It doesn't sound bad at first, but the more you listen to it, the more you start to go insane.

What makes it especially poignant is the fact that there is literally NO other sound in the game whatsoever. If someone calls Pon, the game just sort of silently slides the tiles where they need to be, and if you aren't looking, then nobody would even notice what had happened. There is no voice calling out Pon or Ron, there isn't even the annoying clicking sound for putting the tiles in order. It's surreal to watch and a little sickening. Even Yakuza 0 put more effort into it than this.

The pacing of the game is painful. Each tile takes a really long time to get to and leave your hand. Playing on Tenhou with 3 other players that had hard attacks at the keyboard would honestly probably make a faster game than Riichi Multiplayer. The scoring is slow, the calling is slow, the tallying of points is slow, even the shuffling of player orders is slow. Which would be acceptable if the game had ANY flare to it whatsoever.

>>19047732
The one positive thing I will say about the game is that it has all the writing of the rules down. The rules are explained in very clear and even English, and when it uses Japanese terms, it has a button or helpful info to let you know what it means and to indoctrinate you into the lexicon. It even has a group of default rulesets that includes the WRC and the EMA rulesets as well as a custom one to allow you to change things a bit, though this is still nowhere near the Zoo games offer like Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle or Nagomi.

One of the more obnoxious things I've noticed about the rules is it seems like the developer added in a few unique ones that make me go 'wut'. Like disallowing the extra han that Double Riichi gives you.

Just...why? Why would you even do that?

The tutorial seems functioning. I skimmed it briefly and it seemed to be teaching the rules in a step-by-step clear basis. I hesitate to recommend this as a teaching game, but if you are incredibly desperate and have to do ALL of your reading through a staged tutorial, then maybe this is the game for you?

What really kills any and all interest in the game is how glitchy it is. My first and only game came to an end in South 3 when the game literally crashed trying to score my 7 pairs. Earlier, it even had problems with that same 7 pairs trying to call Riichi, not giving me an option of which tile to wait on. The computers also seem to be retarded and not offer up much of a fight. You frankly might as well just be masturbating.

Like the other person above me said, I WILL be refunding this, and I won't miss it in the slightest. Even if Riichi fans are desperate for English translated games, we're not THAT desperate. Paying $0 would be too much for this.

dumb 1d here, why not? One suit hands are so furiten-friendly. If the dealer's honitsu is near completion it's the exact hand which may drop you the 9m. And it's probably not a fast yakuhai hand with a convenient discard either due to those 3p and the 4s.

Because it's S4, he's in first place and the riichi to his left is unlikely to be able to unseat him unless he deals in. All he had to worry about was the toimen.

>If the dealer's honitsu is near completion it's the exact hand which may drop you the 9m
Conversely, it's the exact hand that could have been holding most or all of his winning tiles which would then leave him open to being ronned by the kamicha. Also, there is still a decent chance that it was just a quick hand with a dora.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good hand with a reasonable wait and decent chances of both tsumoing and having someone deal in but I'm not sure that it was definitely the best move.

Riichi and discard the red. It's a little too dangerous to be throwing tiles near the dora to stay in dama, and he'd be waiting on the dora so he won't throw that.

Maybe I'm not familiar. If the dealer isn't in tenpai, then our anon-friend would make the change back and the toimen would lose from the noten bonus. Do Riichi sticks go to the dealer at the end of S4 if dealer is in noten? If so, with two Riichi sticks, and assuming the Shimocha is in noten as well, you'd have our friend gaining +500 and the toimen also gaining +500. It would even out.

>>19050208
>He quite literally gains nothing from riichiing
He gets into tenpai with a hand that doesn't have him discarding the dora or its suji and the chance to end the round faster instead of drawing more tiles and risking dealing in. Again, defense would be wiser, but the riichi isn't stupid.

>He gets into tenpai with a hand that doesn't have him discarding the dora or its suji
Which he could do without riichiing, he already has the chun as a yaku and doesn't need any points. He just needs to win. He LITERALLY gains nothing from riichiing and ruins his option to defend, something that could win him the game by itself.

>Which he could do without riichiing
He could, but he'd have to do so by discarding that 7 or 8 man. And it looks like both the Toiman and Kamicha are looking for upper end characters.

>He LITERALLY gains nothing from riichiing
Proven false. See above. Unless you have some insight suggesting he could get away with those discards? Because I doubt that if you went defensive that your first discard would be anywhere near the upper character area.
