Finished reading uzaku-301. Not sure whether I should read this one again or go for the blue book now. What do you guys think?

(I realize it doesn't make much of a difference and I can just do whatever, but I'm curious whether any of you have read them like a dozen times like some of the obsessed nips)

also, the chinko's 押し引き book and the Hori book are getting digital releases this year if all goes well + 科学する麻雀2 is in the works, for those who haven't heard yet

>can't get from 2-shanten to 1- no matter what, the draws never come
I feel like I'm doing something wrong even if I'm literally working with a shanten calculator to get the best discards, surely one's luck can't be that shit
and that's not even going into getting any yaku because how can I worry about that if I tenpai in 1/20 deals

これだけで勝てる! 麻雀の基本形80 -> for learning about tile efficiency, you can find a torrent for this one
ウザク式麻雀学習 牌効率 -> this is a new book which deals with similar topics, you might wanna check it out (paper only). if you get it, write us a review
麻雀 定石「何切る」301選 -> wwyd problems, this is the next level after fukuchi's 80, you can find a pdf in the archive
おしえて! 科学する麻雀 -> this one gives you all the basic theory, teaches you the importance of being first, the importance of defending, etc

if you read and learn all these you'll be intermediate level. also, keep in mind that reading books won't automatically make you better, you need to keep playing and racking up experience. when you deal into someone recheck whether you really had a hand worth the risk of dealing in, when you are unsure what to discard, whether to riichi or dama post here, etc.

from what I know it's based off Tenhou's so idk, it's uradora.com
pic related, I kept getting shitty mans, pins and word tiles (my discards at the time were a hatsu, 1-man and 1-sou, then I got the aforementioned flood and just discarded everything I got until the end)

[Anonymous No.]

>>21178303
Guess I'll buy the second one then.
Are there any downloads for 科学する麻雀? It's not sold (directly) by Amazon Japan anymore, and the "fulfilled by amazon"-sellers don't want to ship overseas, which makes it harder to get for me

[Anonymous No.]

>>21178405
I only see a digital version for the original, not the おしえて version. That book is famous for being one of the least straightforward mahjong strategy books, that's why they made the おしえて edition. I haven't read the original though, so I can't comment on whether it really is that difficult.

Worst case: you'll have to wait for them to reprint it or release a digital edition. This is just how it is with mahjong: a print run is less than 10000 copies (less than 5000 is common iirc) and when things run out, they don't always get reprints.

You can do everything right and sometimes the tiles still won't come to you. If your hand is going abnormally slowly, you should just cut your losses and switch to betaori.

That said, the shanten calculator doesn't take into account the tiles that have already been discarded, etc. Don't treat it as something to follow blindly.

3s was genbutsu against shimocha's riichi (dealer, riichi + potential ippatsu + high chance of lots of dora/uradora), and it's not like they could've known that >>21186322 was tenpai for ryuuiisou and not just a 3-han hatsu honitsu. 3s would also have been safe against a 5-han hatsu honitsu toitoi, since all the other 3s are visible.

>really good all pair hand
This is basically never the case. Chiitoi sucks and if you can avoid it you almost always should.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21191696
This is bad advice, don't listen to this guy
A chiitoitsu with a dora pair is a guaranteed mangan and is really hard to defend against, it's totally worth going for if you get a lot of pairs early on

[Anonymous No.]

>>21191746
this. also a jihai tanki has the same success rate as a ryanmen

[Anonymous No.]

>>21191746
>>21191797
Chiitoi dora dora is 6400, and pretty much any closed hand with two dora will be close to mangan anyway.

The issue with chiitoitsu is that even if you have lots of pairs, it is deceptively slow to tenpai. Your ukeire drops hugely for every shanten you advance. Even with a jihai tanki, you simply have a very small number of winning tiles available and you are, at best, usually at the mercy of where in the wall (if at all) those tiles are. Other players may still choose to hold onto them as pairs or triplets, or may fold entirely with genbutsu, so it's not a guaranteed win. As many pros and authors have noted, modern riichi is a game of tsumo, and maximising the number of tiles available is very important. This is why modern strategy books give the exact same advice to avoid chiitoitsu if a regular hand is feasible. If a regular hand is too slow - for example, if you have pair shapes like 1133m8899p - then first consider toitoi, and then you can consider chiitoi.

Sorry to spawn in this conversation but damaten chiitoi can't be worse than toitoi being at the mercy of feeders and all if we really talk cautious players destroying hands because of late kokushi tiles in seemingly pairs rounds.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21192329
That comparison is only really valid at tenpai, but even before getting to that point, toitoi is typically faster by virtue of the fact that you can call tiles to advance shanten. That's not to say you should just take any toitoi. There are strict rules for how and when you should go for it, and when you don't meet those criteria, that's when you consider chiitoitsu. Even so you wouldn't often have high hopes of getting to tenpai first, let alone winning.

As for the mention of damaten chiitoitsu, if you're first to tenpai with chiitoitsu and it's worth less than mangan you should generally riichi immediately with any wait, even a random middle tile, because digitally it's not worth waiting to switch your wait to a jihai or suji or something. And if someone beats you to tenpai, just betaori.

Just try to count, 1 ticket would worth about half a year worth of presents if it's one tonpu per day (not counting the potential events like the New Year one). MEH

The exchange rate is 1:10 from CNY/RMB to gacha currency and the rate is 5% for character. Assuming cheapest option of 9+1 roll, that means you need to spend 1800 RMB for that or roughly $27-28, tax excluded.
The problem is right now Alipay is the only option, so for dumb laowai that's out of reach.
Plus, as >>21193856 said, you also need to upgrade your girls, mainly for more voicelines but ultimately the final upgrade for their special skin.

It's a basic shopping cart layout like taobao, like buying a gift card on Amazon. At the end you just scan the QR code to load it into your wechat. You might not even need an account on ka-cn if you find someone that uses it, just load through their account.

I'm like 2/3 through 絶対にラスを引かない麻雀 and it's absurd how little I am absorbing of the content.

in south-2 I riichied a 2-5s nobetan (2s was dora) even though I was first with a slight lead (I had around 32k points). toimen who was oya and had about 11k points kept pushing and I ended up dealing into his mangan and falling to last place. I think I definitely should've played more defensively in that round and not riichied a bad shape 2600+ hand

there's nothing that feels worse than getting rasu (hyperbole) yet I just can't help it

[Anonymous No.]

>>21205567
Yeah that book is pretty much required reading for serious Tenhou players, which is why I said it should be at the top of your list. Keep re-reading it and practicing until you start to absorb it. A lot of it is common sense sort of stuff so it should be less an issue of retention and more an issue of application.

[Anonymous No.]

>>21205027
I'm not super experienced, but I open when I have a lot of dora and I can easily put together a yakuhai or tanyao or something to open with, when I got dealt very close to a high-value yaku like chinitsu, or if I'm in 1st place by a huge margin and I want to just shit out fast cheap hands to keep my lead to the end.

Riichi is a very closed game though, when you open your hand you're cutting out a lot of potential score. Your default move at the start of each round should be to just stay closed and go for tenpai, working in cheap stackable yaku like pinfu and tanyao where you can. You choose to open when circumstances allow for it. Got two dragon pairs and a single in your starting hand plus the first couple go arounds? It's probably fine to open for them, it could turn into a little/big three dragons and if not, you can just get a cheap fast win.

Why do I fail to get tenpai more often than I succeed? At the start of a game I'll usually see if my hand is suitable for pinfu, tanyao, dragon pon, or a straight and build it accordingly but I often exhaust the tiles before getting a winning hand or online someone will just win before me.

Given that mahjong is a four player game, you'd expect to be winning only 25% of hands on average, or less because of draws.

Don't get tunnel vision towards yaku. Play by efficiency, keep your options open, and if all else fails just stay closed and call riichi.

when going against push while in tenpai with a decent hand. Half value including floating sticks is a good measur. Iishanten and even ryanshanten are trickier but doable in some scenarios.

Oh it's finally in stock again huh

I got an Amos Gabin off amazon.jp a few months ago because the YMI one was out of stock and had been for months, I highly recommend it but I haven't heard anything negative about the YMI either. I have seen a few people say that the Amos sets are painted better than the YMI ones though. Amos is the company that makes all the major automatic tables you see in events, so they're a pretty major brand.

It only cost me like $7 more than the YMI set after international shipping, so check your options!

[Anonymous No.]

I'm learning tile efficiency, and since honor tiles are at the bottom of the list,I just end up throwing them out for the whole game. Half my draws end up being automatic discards and half of my discard pool is just honors. Everyone else is already in tenpai while I'm just starting to change my hand. How the fuck do you deal with honor tiles in any sensible way?

[Anonymous No.]

>>21226844

You can always chase yaku that can use honor tiles, aim for yakuhai by cutting guest winds first. Redundant tiles that give no increase of tile acceptance can be cut before yakuhai tiles

Try speeding up your hand if feasible by calling, although I've heard before "I'm focusing in tile efficiency, so I don't care about calling yet" well eat shit then.

okay played a tonpuu. it feels very sluggish compared to tenhou, no tsumogiri with right click, no cancel with right click, even if you turn off the annoying little letters on the tiles they buggily reappear in random places, the music's looping is not seamless, etc.

I don't really like any of the characters either, to be honest

[Anonymous No.]

So I did the math for those who want to whale for a character in Majsoul.
After 150 rolls, you can buy any one character outright.
To do that, you need to spend $250 with the first time purchase bonus stuff.
Doing so will also get you 150 rolls, which should also get you 7.5 characters on average (but you can get duplicates that get converted into some other currency)
The next 150 rolls will cost you $440

[Anonymous No.]

>>21235668
This game is gonna die quickly

[Anonymous No.]

>>21235668
Question is, unless I'm a hopeless waifufag, why would I whale in the first place? The game is as skill-based as any mahjong, you won't be getting boosts from gacha (unless we put a tinfoil on and claim the draws are rigged) - there's no p2w, if I'm a 5kyuu shitter then I won't suddenly be a god after spending my parents' yearly budget

When you ron off of someone, the hand is actually called something along the lines of "weakly concealed", because the last set you made to win, for scoring purposes, is considered open, but the hand is considered closed for han scoring purposes.

To have a hand fully concealed means that you have to have all sets concealed, including the winning one.

Personally I hate it. Too slow at making hands and usually whoever can win small hands quickly or get a lucky start wins. At least with south rounds, you have a chance to rebound while those who initially won big in east round will be on the defense to keep their points or continue to assert dominance.

How is this possible?

[Anonymous No.]

>>21245912
Because chinese meta is "call everything, end the game fast with cheap hands".

But it also decreases their opportunity to get something they need since they'll have one less free tile to build off of.
And discarding it later increases the chance of them calling ron off of you instead of someone else.

There's a more in-depth explanation I can give you if you want.

It's because you're playing against the chinese. They literally just speed blitz all the time every time.

It's honestly super tilting to play against when the other 3 are playing hyperspeed mahjong every hand. I guess this'll go away at higher ranks?

Playing Hanchan instead of Tonpuu also helps a bit (silver room)

[Anonymous No.]

>>21248596
it starts matching you against JP players (instead of just EN/CN) once you get above a certain rank. I think it's silver but I'm not sure. People also tend to play a bit slower if you play ES instead of east only. The rating changes are also doubled so it's not just strictly less time-efficient for laddering.

Of course, you can't completely avoid the Chinese tendency to play quickly because of the gambling mentality. If you just want to tryhard, it's better to stick to tenhou.

Apparently the Nip side is dead slow because everyone just plays on Tenhou, so they were asking for the servers to be merged so they can queue with the rest of the world (i.e. China).

Same thing happened to me with a chitoi hand, with a choice of discarding either 2 man or 1 pin. No one tossed the 1 pin and the round ended with another player who riichi'd with a 1 pin in his melds. While I shouldn't be surprised that everyone went into defense, still dissapointed with the outcome.

More or less the same one as the one you linked, AMOS but a bit more expensive.
Yours is $40 for shipping and handling to a total of $80 while the one I looked at from Rakuten was closer to a $100.
The blue set is about $60 in shipping and handling:

No, that's the one with blue backs that's nearly twice the price with shipping & handling than the "Take" one I was looking at.
Crazy how expensive the blue backs are really.

Just played a game where I was 4th in the last round, me as dealer.
Won 3 games with 1-2 yaku (2 open tanyaos) and ended up second place in the end. I feel so dirty, but I finally managed to get adept since I only needed 6 more points for it.
