If I get dealt a pile of feces and am in 3rd with a >8k gap to 2nd, I'm going to rush a shit hand. I'm not letting the Nyagger in 1st spamming emotes get another Baiman.
Gotta look up Riichi Mahjong. >I would like to see a Mahjong game in english to more or less understand how it is played.
Mahjong Soul is good for beginners. It has an ok tutorial, visual aids and hands are translated to English ie. Tanyao -> All Simples. You can access hands from in-game at any moment. Yakuza doesn't teach you jack.
i got really into it, a little before release of majsoul and played it on tenhou out of frustration with lag on fighting games, majsoul release was really fun, and played a lot with Ganker but eventually got bored
I have played mahjong for years, but I still don't know how to play it.
I only know the basics like discard efficiently, discard safe tiles, etc.
But I have no idea how to play it such that I can see through enemies hand and know what yaku they are aiming for, and even pinpoint which few tiles they are waiting.
Maybe that only happens in manga and I'm overthinking it.
TL;DR: Triplets.
If they discard a 2 of pin, it's likely because they completed a triplet or attained a better wait, for example they have a 2, 4 pin and pull a 5. They dump the 2 so their wait is 3, 6. Or if you see almost no outside tiles (1, 9, wind, dragons mainly, 2, 3, 7, 8 secondarily), they're going for an all outside hand in which case discarding a 2 means they either finished a triple of 1, 2, 3, or a pair/triplet or 1s.
If someone is discarding (relevant) Winds or Dragons past the first row, they're either moronic or actively pushing their hand and likely close to finish. This is important cause you will get dama'd occasionally (winning hand with no open tiles or Riichii).
>But I have no idea how to play it such that I can see through enemies hand and know what yaku they are aiming for
Check what you can see ie. their discards and calls. Are they only discarding winds/dragons/terminals? Likely rushing an all simples hand. Are they discarding only sou and man? Probably going for a flush. Are they only calling a certain suit? Probably going for a flush of that suit. Sometimes you'll get ron'd early and there's nothing you can do about that. Mahjong is a game that deal with probability and averages so as long as you deal-in as little as possible you'll climb higher than the other players eventually.
It's impossible for me to understand all that when everything is happening constantly, and there's also 3 (THREE) players to keep track of.
You have 4 seconds + everyone else's turns to process it. If you take it tile by tile, it's not that bad. You just have to actually try.
I forgot to mention that meanwhile, I also need the time to think about my hand.
So I actually have to think about 4 player's hand at the same time.
My dumb brain just can't handle such a large amount of complicated calculations.
>and there's also 3 (THREE) players to keep track of
If the gay to your right has called a triple of dora tiles or has called riichii you better be warier of that gay than the other two. It's better to get ron'd by some shit 1k hand than the 12k one you probably won't be able to come back from.
Be wary of one person and analyze what he had discarded?
That's the kind of basic thing I can handle.
The thing I can't handle is, what is the guy waiting before he called for riichii?
>what is the guy waiting before he called for riichii?
Discard what he has discarded: 100% safe. If there are three wind/honor tiles discarded the fourth one is 100% safe. I never understood suji and kabe but those tactics exist as well.

>should I call riichi?
There are too many factors. How many other players are in Riichi? Is it risky from what you're able to see? Is your hand worth 8k+? Are you sitting on a good wait or a bad wait? Are you in fourth place and way behind the other players?
That picture shows how shimocha discarded the last 1m, his 4th time, immediately after I riichi'd for kokushi in East 1. He left the room after that and said he was done with mahjong for a while.
I dropped Mahjong soul after i was saving for months for Kaguya event only for them to omit Chika, the main character.
Frick them. What the frick were they thinking?
There's a chance it will have another collab, like with Saki.
Speaking of Saki, ecchi is the worst part of the manga and I fricking hate how the breasts keep balooning up, Nodoka and Awai were normal before. Saki might be one of the only manga where the anime is better simply because the anime is not ecchi and literally has more content.
Just had 10 games in a row of being dealt dogshi and forced to play like a cuck every round and still ending up in 3rd/4th place for all of them despite never dealing in
Tile game fun tho
I fricking hate feeders and 3rd/4th placers who end the game with a shit hand.
If I get dealt a pile of feces and am in 3rd with a >8k gap to 2nd, I'm going to rush a shit hand. I'm not letting the Nyagger in 1st spamming emotes get another Baiman.
bullshit luckfest shit fricking rigged bullshit I hate it so much
Do not attempt to play Mahjong
great damage to the human spirit without a single benefit
I just wanted to 100% Yakuza 0 and now here I am playing online mahjong ...
It’s a fun and addictive party game, nothing more than that.
I just downloaded Mahjong Souls 3 days ago, suddenly a thread about it on Ganker. Is this like loading cars into the cache in GTA?
Also how do I unlock other characters?
Buy them from the slot machine
good luck it costs about 300$ to unlock a character if you're unlucky
I got one on my second roll
It’s downloadable? I’ve been playing it on browser
There is a mobile app but no PC client
>but no PC client
Incorrect.
https://github.com/MajsoulPlus/majsoul-plus/releases/tag/v2.0.0-beta.8
That shit gets you banned
I've been using it for years and never been banned. Full F2P too, so it's not like I'm a paying customer.
Poker for weebs
I like it.
Is this show any good? Akagi and Saki are the only mahjong anime I’ve seen.
I don't like it. My grandma played it online with friends and I watched her get worse and worse at the game when her memory started to go.
I like mahjong
why do mahjong player dress like this
because it's cute, duh.
All I can say is that I hate every time I see a game called "Mahjong" and find out that it is Solitaire or Shangai.
I would like to see a Mahjong game in english to more or less understand how it is played.
Gotta look up Riichi Mahjong.

Why are Mahjong players like this?

You just get used to it over time
I forgot to mention that meanwhile, I also need the time to think about my hand.
So I actually have to think about 4 player's hand at the same time.
My dumb brain just can't handle such a large amount of complicated calculations.
Your hand is often the easiest part though.
You have 4 seconds + everyone else's turns to process it. If you take it tile by tile, it's not that bad. You just have to actually try.

How much are you willing to pay for a round of mahjong?
10 yen
troony game
Post an example of a non troony game
If there’s like <15 tiles left and I don’t have a yaku but I am in tenpai, should I call riichi?
No.
Always riichi
Yes
>should I call riichi?
There are too many factors. How many other players are in Riichi? Is it risky from what you're able to see? Is your hand worth 8k+? Are you sitting on a good wait or a bad wait? Are you in fourth place and way behind the other players?
why lesbians are so good at mahjong?
I'm unironically happier since I actively stopped playing.

Mahjong is legitimately one of the funniest games to play casually. I don't laugh as much at any other game.
Did you end up getting 13 orphans
That picture shows how shimocha discarded the last 1m, his 4th time, immediately after I riichi'd for kokushi in East 1. He left the room after that and said he was done with mahjong for a while.
Look at the discards
Nobody called any tiles.
I wish I still had that webm of some dude dealing into a yakuman on the very first tile he discarded on east 1.
How do you respond without sounding mad
You can't respond, emotes are disabled when someone's point total drops to 0 or lower.
Is that actually real I’ve never checked
Yes. I'm surprised you've never tried.
That's why sometimes people emote before calling RON because it might end the game.
I FRICKING LOVE KANN
My wife Ako
I dropped Mahjong soul after i was saving for months for Kaguya event only for them to omit Chika, the main character.
Frick them. What the frick were they thinking?

I got Miyu in the event. I wish I had got Kuro, though. Maybe I should try it again.
Just had 10 games in a row of being dealt dogshi and forced to play like a cuck every round and still ending up in 3rd/4th place for all of them despite never dealing in
Tile game fun tho
A while back, i had a massive loss streak that launched me down a rank and a half.
I stopped caring about rank after that.
