Stop blowing your "subtext" out of proportion.

There are loads of shows that are ACTUALLY about mahjong, stop ruining the discussions of every perfectly normal yuri show whenever you see four characters sit down at a table because of OBVIOUS MAHJONG SUBTEXT xD.

>>65589766
You're one of the few then. I tried watching Saki because I like mahjong, but it just left me bored.

>>65589785
Oh Christ, my sides.

>>65589919
You don't really need to know shit about mahjong to like Koizumi though.

>>65590063
It does increase the enjoyment a lot though. I went back and reread it recently after learning how to play and only now realized how over the top it is.

Even if they're regular occurrences, you can't predict the specific time. It literally just falls out of them. Imagine if she was sitting around the mahjong table like that, forgot what day it was, then all of a sudden, she has a look of embarrassment on her face as she runs away, leaving a blotchy red trail behind her.

>>65594514
you called that 4, nice!

>>65592438
I wonder if I should watch, I've seen Akagi, Koizumi and Tetsuya but after one episode Saki seems like shit. Does it get better mahjong-wise later or is it only asspulls and lesbians?

>>65597036
It has no more asspulls than Koizumi.

>>65597036

Asspull and lesbians. Like, nothing BUT asspull and lesbians. There's a rampant joke that you shouldn't watch Saki for the Mahjong, and they're very right. It's like Koizumi, but it's played as less of a parody and more straight up. Spoilers for episode 19, but if you don't get upset by this, then you could probably tolerate the show.

The main character has a baiman hand of 1112222333344-pin which if she gets a 1 pin, she'll get a Full-flush Ryan pei Kou. The girl with the most points discards that 1 pin, but instead of winning on it, she calls a Kan. Then she draws a five, calls another kan, gets a four, calls her LAST Kan, gets a five, and Tsumos for a Counted Yakuman. The worst part about this whole affair is not only is it stupid rare that it happened, but the entire show is played out like this is her special power and she can take apart winning hands at ANY TIME to pull this level of bullshit for no reason.

Honestly, Koizumi I can understand, because, seriously, 72 Dora? It's obvious parody. This is just blatant lesbian bullshit.

>>65597198

>not appreciating Saki's rinshan build-up powers

>>65597198
People watch the show for that reason though.

>>65597319
>>65597395

>>65597425
I mean a straight up manga about pure mahjong would be so hard to read. They have to throw in something interesting to at least keep the audience entertained.

>>65597198

Now, if you really take the game aspect of the series too seriously.

You should also be mad @ Koromo for not ending the game when she had the opportunity to drive Kana in the negative - but instead, she decided to dick around in a bid to humilate the other two players points-wise.

And that would have prevented that bullshit counted yakuman from ever happening.

>complaining about asspull in a mahjong animu

Tetsuya and Akagi have complete statistical near-impossibility in fucking spades, even when they're not blatantly cheating. Really, the actual mahjong is pretty nice when it's actually shown. Achiga is actually significantly lighter on mahjong than the main series, though. Saki matches routinely have monologues where the characters are trying to read their opponent's discards.

>>65597576

>>65597465
>>65597543
>>65597520

It's not like I don't understand the appeal of it. With Akagi, it's how relentlessly he attacks the psyche of his opponents with his complete balls-of-the-wall waits, demonic luck, and the pressure he puts them under. With Tetsuya, it's essentially a show about magicians trying to one up each other and figure out how the opponent got the rabbit out of the hat before it's too late. It's almost like a mystery with a time pressure involving a tile game. Koizumi is just meant to be ridiculous right off the bat.

Saki is where I draw the line in terms of luck based games. DBZ I can stand cause they have to rely on their own skill. The ridiculous lesbian powers is too much.

I fully encourage you to enjoy it though.

>>65597637
>Achiga is actually significantly lighter on mahjong than the main series, though
That's mostly because the episodes up until the last one were all build-up. It'll be almost wall-to-wall mahjong from now on, with probably one ep as a break for training/practice between this round and the next.

>>65597198
Complaining about probability in a show dedicated to magical luck power mahjong is just as dumb as complaining about the physics in a shounen sword battle.

>>65597819
Well if they won the hand do you think they would have like 16 han from the riichi alone?

>>65597576

I've seen that before.

It's not even the fact she kan'd 3 times. It's the fact that she used her own winning tiles to do it with, each time lessening the value of her hand until the last call, and potentially throwing away the match. It's the fact she relied on it to win. "Oh, sorry, I won't win on that tile cause I won't have enough points. I'll just win on this ass pull I'm about to do."

>>65597794
Mahjong anime without over the top luck and flow doesn't appeal to most Japanese viewers or players, digital is a minority in Japan.

You guys should try reading Ten.

>>65597908
Ten has some crazy mahjong shit going on. I mean some stuff in there I find crazier than the shit in Saki.

>>65597854
But that's how luck works, you have to trust your gut instinct.

>>65597854
>potentially throwing away the match
She wouldn't have won from any of the previous hands ANYWAY. They weren't big enough to overcome the points difference.

In that situation, on the last round of the game... why the hell WOULDN'T you push your luck?

Especially if you're a magical lesbian.

IT'S HAPPENING

>>65597908
I tried reading it once, but I thought the format of the manga was really weird, and most of the chapters seemed to be about his home life rather than moon runes. And the translator seemed like he was from Korea. Did it get cleaned up a bit?

>>65597975

Second place, obviously. I wouldn't have even thought about using a Kan in that situation. Did they REALLY have to get first place? Or were they not playing for actual money?

>>65598018

>>65598018
She's actually going to die isn't she.

>>65598034
Ten starts off really really slow. Once you get like 6 volumes in the mahjong really picks up and it becomes much more like Akagi.

>>65598034
It's a team tournament. No money. You go first and advance, or you lose and go nowhere.

>>65598034
Only first place actually advances to the national tournament.

... have you even seen an episode of this show?

>''I'm thinking of a number between one and ten.''

>>65598034
>Did they REALLY have to get first place? Or were they not playing for actual money?
They're not playing for money. It's a tournament. Last match of the prefectural qualifies. Only the winner moves on to the nationals.

Absolutely no reason not to go for broke. Second place would just be first loser.

You should give it a watch, it's like Ten or Akagi in the sense that there's a long, relatively normal amount of play building up to the huge bullshit powers.

Kuro won't do shit, she's a terrible player.

Saki, Koromo, and Teru all have shown that they were capable of strong standard play and used their mahjong powers to augment their normal game. While Saki does win whenever she calls a kan, we see her winning often without calling a kan as well.

Kuro, on the other hand, is entirely reliant on her ability to the point where it actually limits her ability to play normally. She's a gimmick, not a player. Worst lesbian in Saki, hands down.

>>65598695
We'll we do know Teru's true nature.

>>65598851

>>65599034

>>65599149
Of playing mahjong? Wow, that didn't even happen in Akagi.

What is the point of declaring riichi? Limiting opponents' discard choice? Any score modifications?

>>65600001

Cons:
•You have to lock your hand in place, meaning if the tile you draw isn't your winning tile, you must discard it, even if you know its a bad idea
-an exception is a closed kan, as long as it doesn't change your winning tiles
•It broadcasts to the table that you're in tenpai, meaning one tile away from winning. If they start playing defensively, they could avoid throwing out your winning tile.
•You HAVE to call on the first winning-hand tile you come across. If you don't, your hand is in a state called Furiten, which means that if you try winning off another player's tile, you're in deep shit.

Pros:
•Adds 1 han to your hand. This allows you to win on even the most shitty hands even if they aren't worth anything.
•If you win before you discard on your next turn, you get an extra hand for Ippatsu, or one shot.
•When you win while in Riichi, you get to flip over all the dora indicators to look for MORE dora tiles, which can turn a shitty hand into a monster.
•It can intimidate lesser players into trashing their own hand to prevent them from winning when they need to.

>>65600026
wahaha

>>65600157
So it doesn't lock other players hands as well?

What is the minimum condition to declare riichi?

>>65600209
>What is the minimum condition to declare riichi?
You just have to be in tenpai. Doesn't matter what your hand is, or what you're waiting for, as long as you're one tile away from having a valid hand (even a valid hand without any other yaku).

>>65600209

Nope. Only your own hand. It's basically you saying "HEY BITCHES, MY HAND IS ABOUT TO GO OUT, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!"

Minimum condition is simply have a legal hand in tenpai. Since you're trying to make 4 sets of three and a pair, you could say have a:

123 bamboo
444 Characters
999 Characters
A red dragon pair
And have a 56 pin as your last remaining set. That hand is worth jack all, but you can riichi on it and still go out.

>>65600209
No, they're free to change their hands as much as they want. It does limit their discards if they want to play defensively, though.

Your hand has to be closed to declare riichi - that means no pons, chis or open kans.

>>65600287

Yeah, I keep forgetting to mention. Riichi HAS to be completely closed. You can't have stolen any tiles for the entire round to declare it.

>>65600321
>>65600287
Was about to ask about this.
>>65600274
>>65600254
Thanks for the explanations.

>>65598718

That's because of how her power works. It's always active.

I wouldn't be surprised if something really bad happens when she discard a dora.

But I'm sure she will get her chance to shine.

>>65601330

>all dose tanyaos and riichi only hands

Yeah, you gotta watch out if a server is open pinfu/tanyao. If they allow it to be open, the best strategy in that room is to just win one hand really fast, get above 30,000, then play hyper defensively.

>>65598018
Even in death I serve!

>>65600157
>•It can intimidate lesser players into trashing their own hand to prevent them from winning when they need to.

Actually, playing with no defense after another player calls riichi is a common beginner mistake, since dealing into a riichi is often setting yourself up for an ugly surprise because of uradora. If you don't have any hope of making a hand soon, it's not wrong to play completely defensively. Hell, some people recommend going completely defensive if you're not in iishanten or better when someone calls riichi.

>>65602214

I stand by my statement. Lesser players. All of them.

>>65603498
>Boshu-san

>>65598785
Don't worry. The rules are just for show. The way you play the game has nothing to do with the rules.

>>65603195
>>65600157
Can someone explain what does furiten mean?

dem armpits

>>65603602
You can't call ron on another player's discard since you passed on a win/discarded the winning tile yourself.

>>65603638
I thought when you riichi you can't discard winning tiles?
Any example?

>>65603667
Nothing is stopping you from discarding your own winning tile if you're in riichi.
To expand a bit you also go into furiten if your opponent discards your winning tile and you don't call a ron on it.

>>65603602
Hai.

If at any point during the game you discarded one of your winning tiles, you cannot go out on Ron. Trying to do so will make you pay a penalty fee.

For instance, if you have a 1 bamboo at the start of the game that you discard, but later on, you're in tenpai with a 2-3 bamboo waiting on 1 or 4 bamboo, then it's impossible for you to Ron, because you can make a winning hand from the 1 bamboo. Yes, EVEN IF that one bamboo would actually take away a han. If it's a legal, winning combination, you can't ron on it. You can still Tsumo (draw it yourself), but ron is impossible.

Ever notice how when the players steal tiles, they rotate one of them in a specific direction? It's actually to indicate from whom a tile was stolen, because even stolen tiles will land you in Furiten.

You can also be in temporary furiten if you're in tenpai, and you fail to call on someone's discard that was your winning tile. This lasts until you discard again. So if the player to your left just before you discarded your winning tile, but you didn't call it, no sweat. But if the player from right-across-left discarded them in succession, you're just plain boned if you didn't call it the first time.

You will also be in furiten if you're in Riichi and someone discards a winning tile and you don't call on it. This one is permanent. When they say you HAVE to go out, you HAVE to go out.

Does anyone here have the translated version of this doujin? The links on /rs/ are dead and point here.

>>65603852
I believe I do but not on this computer. You were the person on /u/, right?

1. I declared nothing
2. I 'm waiting for either 1 or 4 bamboo
3a. Someone discard a 1 bamboo, I'm not allowed to Ron for that tile
3b. I draw a 1 bamboo of the wall, tsumo
4. Since I'm not in a riichi I can get out of this by changing my tenpai combination?

>You will also be in furiten if you're in Riichi and someone discards a winning tile and you don't call on it. This one is permanent. When they say you HAVE to go out, you HAVE to go out.
If I'm in riichi that means I'm holding a tenpai hands, the only call I need to make is my winning call right?
Since I can't change my tenpai anyway, why would I pass on it?

>>65603987
>Since I'm not in a riichi I can get out of this by changing my tenpai combination?
Yes

>Since I can't change my tenpai anyway, why would I pass on it?
To get higher points.

Ie. tenpai with 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8 man, random pair and some other set.
You could pass a win on 6 man/3 man to get higher points by winning on a 9 man.

>>65603987
The main time you might want to pass on a winning tile when you've declared riichi is if it would end the game prematurely. For example, you're in 2nd/3rd place and 4th place, who only has 500 points left, discards your winning tile. If you call that, win and take their points the game ends and you might still be in 2nd/3rd. It's not a common occurance, but it happens.

>>65603987

Name
Yes, yes, yesa, yesb, and yes. All correct.

>Why would I pass on it.
What the anon above me said. You could be waiting on a 1 or 4 wait, but the 4 will lead into another hand and give you more han, whereas the 1 will only give you so-and-so han. It sucks, but it's how the tiles arrange sometimes.

>>65603987
>why would I pass on it?
not deliberately, you might just slipped by you for some reason.

>>65604108
This is important. You wouldn't want to prematurely end the game.
The only time you'd want to win off someone who would lose all their points is if you're in first or if that will get you to first., also, in tenhou if you want to preserve your stats by at least getting into second place(lol, fag.)

>>65603915
Okay, I thought I had it but sadly not. However, I do have some nice, hi-res raws which I'm uploading right now so if anyone wants to TL it I'll be more than happy to typeset it.

I'll post this in /u/ as well. I've typeset some doujins for them before (three Saki doujiins, a Geshenkin(?) and an IdolMaster one.)

Alright I think I got it.

So how do I get out of when I'm in riichi? Waiting for the draw (or should I say get fucked)?

>>65604271
out of furiten*

>>65604271
Only way would be to draw your winning tile yourself. You can still tsumo while in furiten after all.

>>65604208
Nice raws are good as well, the only working download for that doujin I found is pretty bad quality.

>>65604381
Toki may be dying but the only question I have; Why is Kouko blushing?

I loke how these threads balance on thin line between being actually mahjong related and being full of posts about which lesbian couple would you like to watch fucking.

What do you think guys, can Shiraitodai handle them?

>>65605003
Not to mention that Ventor and Virsaladze are hinted at having demon-level mahjong abilities like Saki, Teru, Koromo, and Jindai.

>>65605003
Where did you get this from?

>>65605003
The thing about "international" leagues in mahjong is that they probably aren't riichi mahjong. Even if they are, they're probably incomparably smaller scenes compared to Japanese riichi mahjong. I don't know how much international titles in the Saki universe will actually count for.

As far as Shiraitodai going against Rinkai, I'm confident Shiraitodai could take them, definitely. Whether or not Kiyosumi would have such an easy time of it, though, I'm not so certain.

Uh, Toki? I think you just made things worse.

>>65613067
More rewatching. Is it Saki Sunday yet?

>>65613177
Any links to the Achiga 10 raws?

So. Should riichi have been declared here? Why or why not?

>>65613301
Nevermind. /u/ had them. Kirame as a sacrificial pawn. Shindouji deserves to win the Natioal s.

>>65613494
You shouldn't have riiched since you're in furiten since you threw the 2-pin earlier. You could have thrown the 2-pin or 6-pin but then you would then have a single wait on the 3-man which is impossible to win from since the other 2 3-man have already been discarded.

You should have waited for your next tile, and if you can win off that tile you riichi then throwing either the 2-pin or 6-pin.

>>65613745
He is not in furiten. He has a single wait on 6 pin. I still wouldn't have reachied at this point, as it is easy to get a better wait with this hand, and if someone discards your winning tile you can still ron anyway.

Zawa Zawa

>>65614028
You're right. Been playing a bit too much gamedesign.jp mahjong I guess.

>>65614028
that's what all beginners do. they riichi the moment they're in tenpai, or call like a madman

>>65613494
Yes. clearly you should have declared riichi at that point

tanpin aka1 doranashi won't earn you the haneman you need for a comeback

looking at the pond, it is unlikely that south seat is holding your tiles, so direct hit would have been the wrong choice of action

>>65614056
who in the right mind would discard any pinzu with your discards

>>65614365
A baka.

>>65614365
Sometimes I'll just deal into people's hands purposefully.

>>65614056
>>65614396
So salty.

>>65614566
It's not my night tonight so I might as well do that.

>>65614753
Don't get me wrong, I don't do it often. The only reason I do it is to see if my wait reading is correct and I never do it while I'm signed in.

>>65613557
gamedesign has rankings? where?

>>65614843
It appears after the 10th hanchan.

>>65614797
Same here. I also throw a dangerous tile since I don't want to defend.

>>65614797
Not using my tenhou id either.

>>65614945
Once I reached third dan I was like fuck tenhou IDs. You'd have to play a lot to get to the higher levels.

>>65614934
I'm usually pretty quick to defend unless I have a one of a kind sort of hand.

>>65615059
After I reached first dan I quit ranked games for awhile. Now I'm in the second dan and I stay away from ranked games.

I usually only defend when I'm in the lead. If not, I keep on attacking, unless I get a crap hand.

>>65615178
Unless it's towards the end of the match and I need to win hands I'll usually defend. If people are pulling mangan hands out of their asses it's just not my day and there's no reason for me to risk getting my ass handed to me.

>>65615247
Well there's always that one guy in table that always deals in anyway.

That's why I still play gamedesign.jp. It really helps you practice in defending since I believe the AI is programmed to get to tenpai as fast as possible. It also helps you control yourself when it comes to calling kans.

http://tenhou.net/0/?L7447

Ok, is there a japanese mahjong for retards guide? Because god damn I have no idea what the fuck is going on.

>>65615440
http://www.delfosse.com/mahjong.html
This work?

>>65615372
I practically never call a kan. On janryumon I have 2 kans (kakans) for 150 chis and pons.
People who call daiminkan from a closed hand when someone has riichi never cease to amaze me.

>>65615372
I have issues going back to gamedesign because I'm not used to the sound the tiles make. The AI can be pretty predictable though, they'll always try to get fast tenpai and they'll always defend if you declare riichi until there are like 6 draws left.

>>65615524
Sometimes I'll declare kans in that situation, but keep playing defensively hoping increase the size of a direct hit on someone else.

>>65615505

It opens up more dora and ura dora for them potentially increasing the value of their hand.

I'm not very used to their accent, but this is what I think they're saying:
"W--...What are you doing?"
"A while ago I was told by my doctor that my eyes were getting bad and to only look at clean/pretty things as much as possible."
"Th...That so. Well if your doctor said so, then its okay."

Chapter 10 Spoilers:

Kirame agreed to be a sacrificial pawn for Shindouji, who made a strategy to have their weakest player be slaughtered by Teru
Teru analfists Kuro. Again.

Achiga-hen is not the real deal since both the fan-service and the mahjong is watered down compared to Saki.
Especially the fan-service.

>Especially the fan-service.
>MC is wearing solely a sweater

>>65618997

Holy shit, OUCH. This is one of your first times playing the game too, isn't it? Man, that must be a pretty bad feeling, being forced to deal into that.

That's the second most painful game of Mahjong I've ever seen.

>>65619603
We still got much less from her than girls who wore a skirt in the original. Her no-pan shots are nowhere near as blatant or appealing, not to mention there aren't near as much.

>>65619534

Well, it IS a side-story

>>65619534

>Especially the fan-service.

thisguy.jpg

>>65619534
Because it's not Ritz. It also gets released more frequently than Saki. It's the watered down version fix, so that you can wait another week. Otherwise, between chapters, people would end up snorting mahjong tiles off schoolgirls asses to try and get their fix.

That clothing doesn't mean anything if we don't see anything of her.

>>65615440
Wayyyyy back in the day (talking 2009 here) I got started on a mahjong guide by an anon for anons. It was really going to be really in-depth that explained how to play mahjong in great detail plus a page on every yaku, even going as far to explain some subtle advanced rules that pertain to them.
And just for fun and since I love mahjong video games, I added a section on beginner-friendly games that you can download.
Sadly, the project wore on me a great deal with work and college, I dropped it, and I never transferred it to my new computer.

>>65619643

Nope. This game occurred a few weeks ago. I made the riichi call thinking that I'd be pressuring others towards defensive play. By the time I did that, I realized: "Too late for that".

It's OK. I scored a double yakuman a month before.

>Disconnected and the only other idle guy there left.

And this is idling on 2:0. At least we ain't waiting like this with a 3:0.

>>65620309

>Did everyone die?

Yes.

Damn it, I feel all the magic sand that I might have gathered so far slipping away while waiting like this. And I really don't feel like asking /jp/ over...

>>65620792

How much magic sand do you have left? Give me a specific amount of time.

>>65620867

Hell if I know. Been about two weeks since I last played... There should be some gathered.

From what I can tell, it costs money to download, and then you have to pay gold to actually play.

>>65627718
you can play online with the free version, i think you're only missing the single player/lesson component.

and you get "gold" from just playing, its not like you have to pay money just to play a round.

Any more games anyone? At 2:0 on nashi and ari red again.

I wasn't in the game so I don't know the circumstances, but "really close" is a shitty excuse for losing points.

They're going to suffer the same fate

>>65631627
Unless you need the hand to win, or its a one of a kind hand that's no excuse.

>>65631728

Indeed. Personally I still hope to draw that one tile I need until tenpai even in cases like that... Good thing I don't get into real gambling is all I can say...

That was a terrible idea, I hope you realize that.

Fucking bastard, getting that ippatsu at the last second.

Soon.

>>65631627
Think of it this way, the most you can lose from a no-ten penalty would be 3k points and your dealership. Breaking your tenpai is actually preferable than risk losing at least around 4k points.
