/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Eh, I've never played before. Let me read up and I might join you in a few. I'll probably be terrible, regardless.

I've never played mahjong, but I'll look it up.

>>3695580
Does it have acct retrievals? Cause I cant fucking remember what my username was.

>>3695636
Don't think so. I've lost a couple of IDs myself.

I cant help but laugh when something like this happen.

>>3695686
I shouldn't have discarded that dora...

>>3695700
You think?

Reading up on Mahjong. Looks kinda tricky to learn. Is it easier than it looks?
I wanna play.

>>3695705
What I recommend is you know the basics, jump in and play one short game without knowing what is going on, then go back and read up on the rest.

>>3695705
It is easy.
Just think of making 3tiles straight or triplet without calling any tiles.
If you want to call tiles look up the riichii sheet and check if you have any yaku.

>>3695719

Does anyone know what tenhou wants from me?

>>3696365
Use economy mode.

>>3695606
>>3695616
>>3695705
>>3696365
Man, where do all these new people come from?

>>3696374
Excuse my stupidity, but I have no idea where to click. Unless it's ok to agree with those moonrones.

>>3696401
Pic related.

>>3696393
Probably spillover after they got banned in /a/.

>>3696401
Disregard my post. That's a rather pathetic display of ignorance. I got it now. [ｴｺﾉﾐｰ (economy)]

yeah because new players is always a bad thing.

>>3696426
Very kind of you anon, I appreciate it, albeit it's 2 minutes too late.

>>3696441
Well now that all the handy info is amalgamated into one link instead of more than a dozen it looks a lot more inviting.

>>3696446
But it isn't.
We had 12 links that explained the game.
Now we have 1 link that explains 1/12th of what's needed.

Explanations for the tiles, rules, scoring etc can be found here:

Which Uminekos are best at Mahjong? Kinzo and Ange perhaps?

>>3697983
Seacats play Chess.
Would be cool if they make a mahjong game for it like for Higurashi.

Bump.

>>3698028
I've played the Higurashi mahjong in arcades, and I must say there's something about Shion yelling "SORE DA, KEIICHI-KUN, RON" at you. I really wish I had a PC version.

Learn to play please.
You have no yaku.

bump

>>3699363
I keep running into that problem; I can actually formulate a hand, but my attempts at building a pair or a triple of non-suit tiles fails, and I end up miscalculating or outright missing the yaku.
Any tips would be helpful.

>>3699409
Keep your hand close if you have no yaku.

Memorize the common open hand yaku.

Nah, I've been here for a long time. I've seen these threads so many times, but I only felt like joining in now.

Any more games or am I late to the party?

so close to nine gates.. ;_;

Bah. My fault for staying joined to a room and going away from the computer for a while. I'd use the sounds to tell me when a game is starting but I so loathe those voices. Is there some way to turn them off, but not the rest of the sounds?

>>3699695
Wait for game to start.
Click the bottom right button to turn off sound when the game start.

You could have just discarded the 9 sou and traded the ittsuu for a tanyao\dora.

>>3699760
I know but I wanted to go for the flashy hand ;_;

in the case of my original intended hand, would I still have gotten pinfu?

>>3699830
Yes, any ron would still be a pinfu.

Also, for anyone interested, we are dumping a mudazumo update on /a/

Feels good man.

>>3699882
nice

played against those multi-account losers just a while ago since someone wanted me to beat the shit out of them. kirowind and his gang! what's that? they lost? LOSERS.

>>3700028
yeah you really showed them.

>>3700028
Those are some of the most amazing rons I've ever seen. I can't even imagine why you would do something like discard a 7m out of 5667m, then go into a 14p wait with no yaku and another person collecting pins.

Looking at the stats on
http://arcturus.su/tenhou/ranking/ranking.pl?name=Kirowind&type=4&from=20091101&to=20091

>>3703948
What's up with those pei?

>>3703948
I doubt anyone with sense would have played into your hand, though. Bump for Mahjong thread.

>>3705836
Count as extra-dora in 3p.

n

bump for players.

you know I still don't get it, when do all those furiten limits count and when not? the guides where I looked did not mention this until somebody posted about this

>>3708683
The what?

>>3708683
What? What exactly is hard to get? If you previously discarded a tile that would make you win with your current hand, you are furiten, and you can only win by drawing your winning tile. If you happen to change your wait for something you didn't discard previously, you aren't furiten anymore.

>>3708725

Please note that if you have a two sided wait (ex. 5-6, waiting on either 4 or 7) if either tile is in your discards, you're in furiten. In other words, you can't ron on somebody's discard of either tile, even if you haven't discarded that tile.

>>3708761
"a tile that would make you win with your current hand" is self explanatory

And what if you have situation where you DRAW the tile you need for the pair or whatever and you still don't get to tsumo? is that possible, or I simply am dumber than cirno and don't get what the buttons mean?

>>3708818
Learn your yaku and furiten.

>>3708818
That's because the hand you tried to complete is shit and is worth no han. It's like someone saying they don't get why they never win to Poker when they don't know what a pair is.

yoooooooooooooo mahj0ng!!

>>3709496

¡muy bien!

bump@

i WANT TO PLAY SOME more MEXICO

>>3709518

ron ron ron, fuck ron we play pong.

Bump.

Woo, I love watching how 20 or so tiles I could use get picked up by the person before me, yet I can't call them without fucking up my yaku

>>3710463

Make a better hand then fucking shit.

>>3710482

Let's see, I could have tried to build it so that, rather than having 5-10 tiles to pick and choose to complete my hand, I'd be stuck with 1-3 tiles due to them being edge runs or multiple triples. Then there'd be the problem of being in furiten because of having a hand with 0 yaku and having to break that hand up so as not to deal into anyone else's hand, causing me to lose 1k-3k points by the end of the hand.

What killed me in that game wasn't dealing into other people's hands but all of the Tsumos that occurred.

>>3710505

If you hand is shit then play defensively. If you hand is at tenpai and you still getting hit by Tsumos then you need to pick a better wait.

All of this is pretty common stuff, you are bound to have shit days too you know.

Fuuck riichi with seven pairs waiting for 9 sou, none on table. Other guys riichi too, hit it before mine and reveal a 9 sou with still none on the table :( hate my luck

holy shit phoz is still a butthurt fag?

Bump for bros.

>>3713459

*face palm* same old bitter troll fag that has been trying to down phoz. we usually kill threads like these if we see stupid trolls like you. stay on topic or go back to /b/.

>>3713778
You are either new to Mahjong threads or just phoz himself. Just take a look at his posts in the Mahjong threads that happened like two months ago, in the Championship threads more particularly. Have fun.

>>3713778
>we usually kill threads like these

Excuse me sir, how do you exactly do that? I'm interested.

>>3714014
He's probably talking about sage/imagebombing.

>>3714014
Either report the thread, or OP deletes the OP.
Easy.

>>3714021
A mahjong thread won't be deleted because you report it, and I won't delete this thread because some people are saying phoz is stupid. So your point is moot. Thanks for trying, though.

Anyone here plays on Toupai-ou?

I only ask because I think it's a better place.
A 3p function is needed there though...

4ch wins!!

bump

What would you do ;_;

>>3717126
Call my win.

>>3717126
delicious chihou must eat it

>>3717209
That's the problem, it's not a chihou due to the pon on the right. It's turn 4. If you tsumo, it will be tsumo iipeikou pinfu akadora 2 for a measly 6k. If you double riichi you're in furiten with a 3sided wait at best.

I tsumo'd in the end, but it made me angry.

>>3717219
Now that's just unfortunate.

>>3717219
I thought that the condition was to win on your first draw and not before someones second, that's quite some illogical and unfair rule then. It's not like there would be thousands of Chihous otherwise.
You have my sympathy, i would have raged so hard after seeing the meager 6k points.

>>3695577
Stop spamming your shitty board on www HHIQSQBMtalk com (replace "HHIQSQBM" with "anon"). We are tired of your fucking spam, DDoS a ttacks and trolling. You are the asshole of the Internet.

Brag when you get a dealer yakuman in the first hand of the game.

I play on premium while on 7447.

I made it. 2 years ago. Before /jp/ existed, when everyone was playing nashi. It's not a bad guide.

>>3718420
Time flies eh

>>3699363
On basic rules, you don't have to do Pon except
Hatsu, Chun, Haku, Game Wind, Own Wind.

Yet another, The first Pon tiles must include 1-han. but Toitoi, tanyao, Honitsu allowed Pon if you aim.

Example for Menzen shows better than Pon part2.

>>3718754
>Play against beginners
>Tsumo nonstop
>Take screenshots

>>3718754
The only thing I got out of your picture is that I really miss premium flash

Oh and of course the voices. The random sounds Economy makes just won't do even after all these months....

>>3718822
After playing on Economy mode for so long, playing on Premium for tournaments/L7447 games feels really strange. The numbers, dragons, and winds all look really different.

Also, I have shitty luck.

why the shit do you guys only play 3player?

3 player is shit.

Also, first time I've ever seen one of these.

Glad I didn't discard my extra 8s.

I love stealing wins at the end

Example Strong Menzen Part3.

>>3719257
You should have gotten baiman+ hands instead, they give more points.

>>3719257
i wish you would stop playing as NoName There are serveral players who play as NoName and only like 1 or 2 of them are any good, and i have a hard time figure out who im playing against.

Then go be a faggot and play in 3p. Just don't expect anyone to be amazed at your amazing number of yakumans and high scoring hands in general.

>>3719324
there is a reason mahjong is a 4 player game. 3 player was made for faggots with no friends and like big numbers.

1 more bro needed.

Bump for two more players

>>3719257
What exactly are you trying to prove, your immense uradora flipping skills?

Mother of fuck is 4p slow

Bump.

There's nothing better than dealing into a rushed trash hand 3 times and then making a comback in the last round with a haneman.

bump

>>3719324
ur a faggot

Sanmah ( 3 persons mahjong ) demands fast decision for discarding and high scoring.
You should like to play it, if you're general.

2 more bro's needed for ari red. I'd say 3 for nashi but nobody plays nashi any more damn it.

Two people made a ron against me.
In a row.
Then the game ended.

Feels fucking terrible.

Well, GGs
That was something, Bernd.

>>3721378

Nice KAN you douche

>>3721378
He's like that. Very much extreme.

bump for bros

>>3721443
Kan didn't really change anything, without it the ron would have still been 36000 and the game would have been over.

Anyone want to play 4p? 3p for faggots

Fuckers need to stop bragging/complaining about 3p.

Thats how the 3player game works, it is not balanced and full of big hands that throw the game out of whack. We dont care about yakumans in 3p, cause they arnt rare at all.

7 pairs is my favorite hand!

>>3722549

I'm currently observing a game right now

It's 3 7 dan guy and and a 9 dan

It's East 3 now and it has been nonstop open tanyao so far

YEAH!

age for players.

I love starting with hands that are 1-3 tiles away from allowing a re-draw for about every other round. SO MUCH FUN

Stop bragging this thread was made to find players not as a dick waving contest.

You can wave your dick when I see you got R1900+

>>3723501

I was being sarcastic my good man. Also, losing points in a game when you never deal into another person's hand nor have to deal with another person's tsumo is frustrating.

I feel bad for doing this but tenhou keep giving me shitty draws.

>>3723547

Says the person who either wins the hand or manages to be in tenpai by the time the hand is over.

That was an exciting game of East-only.

>>3723558
As you have noticed, none of those hands have MANGAN potential.

In before open tanyao whine.

>>3723571

As you may have noticed, there were two good hands that entire game. Most of the time, at least one person per round was not even close to being in tenpai.

Bump

Is it a good idea to open up your hand if the hand is coming to its end and you are far from tenpai (to not lose points to a drawn game).

>>3725268

It's not possible to teach people when to open their hand or keep it closed, it differs a lot depending on hand, current score, seat positions, discards, how close to the end. You just develop an insight for these things.

>>3725558
But at least it can be useful sometimes, right?

I don't like Tenhou sometimes. You can tell what someone has because of the delay/timer on a tile they can call (and I don't think most people bother with the options to disable it)

>>3725564
It doesn't happen very often, but I sometimes do that to avoid the yakitori payment.

>>3725568

Well, I've noticed a delay on tiles at random sometime. Just a second or two, and if I then discard the same tile it goes through immediately. Of course with seatwind discards when they wait 5-6 seconds to make a decision and then not take it you know whats going on, but I don't think it's that obvious for all tiles.

Besides, this only makes fast players get the upper hand, if you instantly know you don't want to call on that tile you gain an advantage against players who have no yet developed higher speed of play.

Alright, just came back after being out for about 4h and I guess I could go for a slow moving 4p.

>>3725624
O great there was someone there already. 1 more bros needed.

Needs 2 players badly.

>>3725764
Seconding. 2:0 on both nashi and ari red. More bros needed.

Oh wow gg. Haven't played against AoA in quite a while. Man that was intense.

Game described for me in one picture.
Winning with shit hands only.

BTW, I'm giving a presentation about riichi mahjong (~7min) on the 17th or 27th to university students.

Only problem is that I want to talk about rules as little as possible (they may be nerds, but their Japanese is weak), but still get at least 1 guy of the audience to play the game sometime (and with play, I mean NOT call every tile they get, but the "become a regular GOOd player on eg. 7447).

Bump for a last player.

nice game. been awhile since i played.

Well, leaver aside, I think I'm cursed, I always, always, always play into some AoA's dealer Haneman. Always.

>>3725982
Sigh, I think I was too greedy because of the point differences. Should have play it small.

>>3725982
It was "only" a mangan, though it could have been a haneman tsumo if I didn't riichi by throwing the red 5.

At least, if I riichi with a red five, the others are more likely to play tiles near that tile.

>>3725995
You are evil. Stop playing with my mind.

Nice one Veyrr, I got you down to Mangan level play, that early fucking riichi was very nice.

>>3726287
I tend to win big or lose big

Mangan(riichi, pinfu, sanshoku, tsumo) wasn't good enough anyway. (39000 > 35400) Oh, I might get 1 or 2 uradora, huh!

Mangan(riichi, pinfu, sanshoku, tsumo) wasn't good enough anyway. (41000 > 35400) Oh, I might get 1 or 2 uradora, huh!

Haneman(riichi, pinfu, sanshoku, tsumo, uradora) wasn't good enough anyway. (40000 > 39400)

It's not as obvious as you think. The game throw in a lot of random waits.

The long ass waits are when you know someone can call something

But in more seriousness, it gets a lot more annoying one you hit the dan. Everyone bails instantly when they sense threat, and you lose points if you get last place.

>>3726884
>bragging about 5 kyuu

Laughingelfman.bmp

But in more seriousness, it gets a lot more annoying one you hit the dan. Everyone bails instantly when they sense threat, and you lose points if you get last place. Well I guess if you stick to 一般 you won't really notice the caution increase or whatnot.

>>3726917
I'm not bragging, you shouldn't be anything more than a rookie after twenty games. The fact you think I'm bragging shows that you're to invested in your mahjong e-peen.
I'm just saying in 0000 you rarely play anyone who's good or have a game where everyone even.

>>3726944
>shows that you're to invested in your mahjong e-peen

Oh great, an armchair psychologist.

Insecure much?

>>3726959
>Insecure much?
No.
The fact that when you see a ranking you disregard a point just to make light of it shows you are.

>>3726944
This is like bragging that you can beat unrated people in chess lobbies.

At least get to the lower dan bracket and play there.

>>3726993
So I am insecure for "disregarding" a rank that even you admitted is easy to get?

Nice try. You got defensive and flipped out on me for no good reason, get over it tripfag.

>>3727027
>At least get to the lower dan bracket and play there.
Is it actually worth it to do that?
Can you explain why?
I'm asking that because 0000 is to easy and 7447 is to lopsided to be fun and haven't had any reason to play since the last #mahjong tournament.

I've gotten 2nd for the last three games, seems good.

My goal right now, to practice defensive playing, is "Never get ronned, ever."

god damn. this chat feels like the difference between night time /a/ and day time /a/

>>3727198
How so?

>>3727478
Did you really have to go out of your way to say that?
I mean if I never posted again you wouldn't have me to filter.

bump for players.
Also rank doesn't matter. It is like an MMORPG, if you grind hard enough you will hit 2DAN no matter what.

>>3728006
Rank does matter.
If you rank higher than 4-dan.
Rate does matter.
if your rate higher than 1800.
Get both 4-dan & R1800 for tokujo-table is your first goal in tenho.

>>3728006
Hahahaha no

I guess this is what you people without dan tell yourselves

>>3729168
>hit 2DAN no matter what.
2dan. Learn to read please. You know this is true. Every tom dick and harry can reach 2dan, going up higher than that will required skill though.

So, anyone need help grinding their rank? With the way I'm playing even a retarded monkey should win.

Bah, everyone's 3-playering it. I'll come back some other time.

Need some more comedy mahjong screenshots.

Oh yes, that one was stupidly funny.

>>3730333

If I knew how, I'd link you to any game I've played in the last two days and you'd kill yourself laughing watching me being stuck with no real improvements to my starting hand until turn 9. If that's not enough, you may find it a riot to note that half my discard pool are pairs. And, for the kicker, if I manage to actually be in a position to win that particular game, bearing witness to my dealing into a sai ban man or greater would bring you to tears from how much tenhou just fucking hates my guts.

I was in last place, about 60000 from 1st 2 days ago. I get a non-dealer double yakuman tsumo, and I press the wrong button. Your situation is common.

I'm saying that the lower dan room is where stuff starts getting interesting. You'll find good players there, if that was what you were looking for. If it wasn't, then you really were just e-peen waving.

>>3730352
Everyone has bad days. Just pick yourself up, and eventually your luck will turn around.

>>3730864
I am interested but you make it sound like it's a steep hill to climb...
I've playing only a little more than 2 years and I think I could have gotten to lower dan level if I didn't No Name it. I never really felt the need for a name until the spring #mahjong tournament. I don't actually think I'm a good player though...

>>3730333

i can relate...would have be even funnier if it was all 4 pins and having quad 5 pins.

>>3730890
Just play when you enjoy it. It's never too late to start. I just checked a famous player's blog and just starting the sanma variant, he got 5 dan in 200 games. What a baller. I kind of wish I had remade my ID after I had learned the basics, as I literally jumped in without knowing anything and learned many lessons the hard way.

What I do is mess around a bit in the casual room, then when I feel I had a bad game, not because I was playing badly, I head over to the ranked rooms for a match. I'm not superstitious and think my bad luck will be averaged out or something, but it surprisingly works quite well. Perhaps it's because when you play a losing game, you start firing up all your sensors and can squeeze that bit more of playability out of your hands. When you're winning and make huge blunders it's easy to gloss over them and forget everything when feeling good.

So after some days of doing this, I easily ranked up without grinding (except for the last 65 points to level up, shit took forever, I should have just left it there and played as usual the next day)

I head into the dan lobby for my first game and see this. FFFFFFFFFFFF-

>>3731080
I'm was barely at 1600 and lost 40 points because a string of bad games. The only reason I win is because I rarely deal into hands. I'm terrible at forming hands too.
Why are you hiding your handle? My handle is desmond2, BTW.

>>3731111
I know who you are. You aren't that horrible, I think?

You could play around with this to check out tile efficiency: http://tenhou.net/2/

If you haven't yet played ~400 games, it is natural to experience huge jumps in rating with each win or loss. Think of it as a performance indicator rather than a goal to grind R. If you play well it will go up as a result. This is advice I really should take myself as well.

>>3731147
As I said earlier I've been playing for while.I think I've gotten worse because I have only played 21 games in the past 6 months.
>I know who you are. You aren't that horrible, I think?

Not as good as I hope it would be...

>>3731167
You've forgotten how to play. If you want your form back just keep playing until you remember.

>>3731080

It says people think the tenhou luck is kind of fake.
