Mahjong Soul is on Steam now
>>683803701It's the chinese server.
>>683803858
Riichi City has been on Steam for 2 years.
>>683803858Not anymore, it's now in english and korean too (but not japanese).There's literally no difference with the standalone pc client apart from being able to use steam funds in the shop.
>>683803701not even this game could teach me mahjong it's so over
>>683805303Was there even a standalone pc client? I remember for the longest time it was only browser based
>>683805482They made one some months ago.
>>683803701it's spyware
>>683803701Is there a reason not to use the browser version? It's useful to use lobby links rather than punch in lobby numbers manually
>>683807984Browser doesn't do the bing bing wahoo when someone yakumans
>>683803701If only I understood how the fuck to play mahjong.
>>683803701I'm playing but I'm still badI think there's just more winning hand formations I should get into the habit of recognizing. I also get fucked up since I try to steal when I have a dora, but that doesn't result in a winning hand alone

>>683803701can ojisans still get the blue archive girls
Do not play mahjong.
>>683808806Learn yaku.Pursue tanyao pinfu side wait5 block method Invest10 year plan Ceo mindset
>>683807984It's slow as fuck and it's a piece of shit. Why are you still using that garbage.
>>683808442the tutorial is pretty good
doko?
>>683809230No reason not to, works on my machine, let's me use lobby linksSeriously Ive never actually seen a problem with it
>>683803701
>>683808806It's a game of defence, but you should know your hands too.
I just started playing and I'm pretty hooked. Is it possible to summon by playing f2p? Or do you need to pay to get new characters? Been playing for a few hours and I don't see how you're supposed to get materials to summon
>>683809817It's possible to summon. You get Scrolls out of events and they give some out on anniversaries and such. You can also turn items you get into dust to buy scrolls in the store.Out of 86 f2p summons I've gotten 1 character (Miyu).
>>683809817This, I have no idea how to get that blue currency to summon other than payingI thought maybe those achievement challenges or weekly/event missions would give a little, but it doesn't seem to be the caseAll I want is to roll for Illya & friends- that is, if they ever come back
To discard safe tiles, you must simply draw safe tiles.
Can I use my weeb names mod with the steam client? I refuse to play with localized names.
>>683809817>>683810541Because gacha is only cosmetic, it's jewish as fuck. You get very few free rolls, and the paid currency for roll is very expensive. See pic related.
>>683803701Mismatching reminder
>>683803701and riichi city, superior in every way, has been on steam for years
>>683814129First time I've heard of it but I see they have a danganronpa collab and the steam tag says sexual content so I am now interested. How is it better than soul?
>>683815378better performancebetter uismoother animationsanimated emotesslightly less stingy gacha (I got the character I wanted after playing actively for ~8 months)highlights tsumogiri tilesall around everything just feels higher qualitythe one big advantage soul has is higher player population but I still find matches decently fast on the second highest table even when only 30 players are in
>>683809303Steam? I just installed it yesterday, its only 2 gb, I expect it to dl some shit when I log on it i guess..
>>683808442
>>683815378Ignore the Riichishitty shills, they're a minority with sunk cost fallacy, most people use Mahjong Soul which is why there's so much art of the characters by comparison. Half of the things he's trying to shill are not good things>animated emotesSpamming animations during gameplay is not a positive, high level players often mute all players to avoid them in the first place and they're static not animated>Tsumogiri tile highlightMore helpers is bad thing which creates more bad habits
>>683803701And? It's been in my web browser bookmarks since 2018.
>>683817043>muting your opponent signaling how weak their hand isShameful
I could never get past adept when I played. I thought I did a good job avoiding dealing into open hands, but I guess not
>>683817894Time to improve
I've reached tenpai
>>683817043sunk cost fallacy is the one that keeps you cucks in soul, everyone would be in city right now had they not spent 500$ on their soul waifu>high level players often mute all playersyou just solved the problem for people who don't like the emotesalso>being distracted by tiny gifslmao>More helpers is bad thing which creates more bad habitsother people playing worse is good for me
>>683818450No arguments there other than projecting, you left Mahjong Soul because you cared more about gacha rates than the game now you essentially play on a Mahjong private server no one gives a shit about other in the real game
>>683809494same
>>683817894I made it to Master 1 and then deranked to Adept 1.I stopped playing, and haven't looked back.
>>683815378Ignore the other posters. Compared to MJS, RC has:>ProWay more generous on free rolls, items and decoration; can get 3 tickets every weeks if you log in daily and play 7 ranked gamesHighlighted Tsumogiri tilesJapanese yaku namesChiinitsu mode in friendlies>ConsBigger filesize, have to redownload the entire client for big updateLess players, higher rooms are dead at certain hoursA bit less content (especially characters) because the game is newer>Personal opinion, play the game and make your ownWorse aesthetic overall (traditional temple > modern city)Emote are animated but doesn't look as goodTiles feels too fatWorse UISometimes there's just so many events run simultaneously it makes me not want to bother with them, especially when rewards are generic items the game already give you thousand for free.I play both but I prefer MJS.
>>683808806just don't open your hand most of the time unless it's your path to easy Yaku like seat wind and you don't have much else going on, like your hand is shit and you're only heading for a lucky all triples if anything. but i've found a lot more success paying attention to the wagering aspect rather than trying to go in every round - like just "folding" a round if you already ahead on points, no need to go opening your hand and losing points just because you like pressing the shiny buttons and handing out Ron to people.learning / being aware of more yaku is ofc always good though
>>683818989>Way more generous on free rollspoorfagbro, you showed your hand too fast
but is it soul or soulless?
>>683818553I never left soul, I do my dailies in both gamesbut city is simply better, and the sooner the people realize it the faster it will grow
>>683803701Does the steam version create a new account tied to your steam or can you log in with your old one?
>>683819325You can use your old account, just log in with the same email
>>683819267Of course you do both, because MJS is the most popular Mahjong Client where people actually play Mahjong and the other is a daily grinding sim for gacha rolls, you don't want to miss out but you're also sunk deep into a shitty knock off
>>683815378It's not
>>683820147you got it mixed up brothersoul is the grinding sim because I am still coping that akagi might get a rerun some day and I want to at least have a chancecity is where I can lock in because the game actually feels good to play
>>683820376>t. 3000$ deep in mjs
>>683820665The only reason people shill Riichi City is for the gacha element which shows in the kinds of users who shill for it, it's also their #1 point too
>>683819264cirno is too retarded to know how to play mahjong. Although, if she somehow managed to learn it, she would definitely play for yakuman every round, deal in, and start crying and demand to let scores go into the negative
Mahjong Soul has twice as many players as Riichi City on steamdb.I know that ignores mobile/browser for both but it's a good indicator of where the players are.
>>683820795the #1 point is that rc doesn't run like a flash game from 2012
>>683820983That's hiliarious considering how much longer Riichi City has been on Steam when you consider 90% of MJS players use a browser, even more so when application users are split between desktop clients and Steam now too
>>683820983>the game that has been out for many more years has many more playersshocking, next you will tell me players are unlikely to leave a game they already invested significant amounts of time and money in
>>683820665I'm too retarded to even understand how the gacha works in this game. Way too many different currencies.
>>683821310Doesn't matter when the new game is a clear upgrade, see gacha game progression, Kantai Collection is not #1 anymore. Unfortunately for your shilling
>>683821350based and nyaggerpilled
>>683821404kancolle is in a highly saturated and competitive genrethat's very different from mahjong games where the only other game that could even be considered a competitor is fucking tenhou
>>683821751All I'm hearing is excuses for why you shill your cash grab knockoff
>>683821350
tile game funplatform wars gay
>>683820983Which game am I more likely to find a transgf? I know a little bit of mahjong from Yakuza so I think I can impress them.
>>683821794>retreats to non argument I accept your concessions nyagger-kun
>>683821938
>>683821938Because you didnt pose an argument you just made an empty excuse, continue shilling and your soul will turn indian
>>683821893FFXIV
ive never played mahjong and have no clue how to play, will this game teach me
>>683822319Yep
>>683821938>>683821991why can't nyaggers and city niggers just work togetherall of us just want the best for the tile game after all
>>683822387Cityfags fucked up the general and shill their game relentlessly, no forgiveness
>>683803701Can I practice against the computer first in MS?
>>683822804Yes you can
>>683822804you can play against bots yes, but there really is no reason toeveryone in beginner rooms sucks anyways
>>683822804
>>683816974this image perfectly captures how I feel playing mahjong
>>683823685fuck, somewhere I remember a panel in Ten where a guy is crying while discarding, but I dont know if I just imaged it or not
>>683803701Is it worth trying out if I've never played or will the chinese aunties rip me a new one?
>>683803701>Mahjong3rd worlder slop
>>683820505>no Akagisad!
>>683824428I started playing only a month ago. In my experience the matchmaking works and you'll have a fine time as a beginner.
>>683824428Yes. Your access to rooms is based on a rank starting at novice so you'll be playing with mostly beginners. The Oba-sans are safely sequestered in the Master Rank rooms.
>>683820983It's kind of sad because Riichi City's client is so much better
>>683824907Does mahjong soul have chat. I want oba-sans to brutalize me and call me garbage in chat
>>683825004it's not really, the discard animations are so fucking slow
>>683825004Ok but everything else is better about MJS. Hints are better balanced, better characters, better decorations, better voices
>>683803701>Opening your hand puts you in a losing strategyWhat the fuck were the Japs and Chinks thinking copying Rummy and doing it badly!?
>>683825149just open your hand with with a triplet or dragons or prevalent wind
>>683825039No chat. Just emotes. Feel free to sosm them over everything.
>>683825214That still doesn't answer the question:If Chi/Pon/Ron (or whatever where you steal to match and discard) is the bad/losing strategy, why the fuck is in the game?
>>683825354how is opening your hand a losing strategy?
>>683825354It's not, it's actually the way to display your skill. As a newbie you don't know what you're doing, so you're better off not doing it.
>>683825412you say it's a losing strategy until you start seething about someone calling open tanyao by the 3rd discard every round
>mahjong client tribalismI know this is 4chan, but really?
>>683825614anime girl JPGs are serious business
>>683825412>Have 2(nearly 3)-3-3-pair the game wants>Make a match>OOPS, YOU HAVE TO DISCARD A TILE TO STEAL THAT MATCH :)Losing strategy. Everyone says the way to win Mahjong, even in RGG/Riichi is to keep your hand closed and only Riichi out, never steal.

>>683827062You make 3-3-3 and 2 pairs. You win.>OH BUT IF YOU STEAL TO MAKE A PAIR YOU'LL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE! :)There, I've explained the game since that is what Mahjong Souls' tutorial explains the game as, bar the last bit which you find out because MS never explains that when it tells you to steal.
>>683827062Play any mahjong game and do the tutorial.
>>683826235Please join.
>>683827163There isn't a single mention of city there althougheverbeit?

>>683827062make sets of three that are either sequences (3-4-5) or triplets (3-3-3)make four of these and then a pairthere are specific hands that you need to claim a win for the round; the only ones you need to memorize at the start are>1: any combination of numbered tiles that doesn't use 1, 9 or "honor" tiles (dragons, winds, as explained below)>2: any combination of tiles that has a triplet of dragons (the blank white, red symbol, green symbol)>3: any combination of tiles that has a triplet of the east wind (--> ćť± <-- this thing) or the wind that lines up with the direction your seat is in (the NSEW that faces you in the middle of the table)and remember: when the Riichi button appears, press it immediately for bonus points!

>>683827595Fine, but no bulli
>>683827514But what IS riichi.
>>683827595Bro you guys would rape my novice ass.
>>683827727Mahjong. But Japanese.
>>683827442>implying your skill level matter in a friendly game on /v/I'm not too bad at the game but I'm drinking so don't worry.>>683827727If you managed to keep your hand closed (without calling pon/chii/kan) and are one tile away from winning, you can call riichi: you bet 1000 points but can get a lot more points if you win.
>>683827727it means you haven't stolen tiles from another player, and you're one tile away from winningyou're making a bet of 1000 points to say that you're going to get that tile, but it locks you into not being able to discard any other tiles until you get your winning onein reality there's a lot of reasons why you might not want to riichi, BUT if you're just starting out you're only pulling out low scoring hands in the first place so you might as well try to get the extra
>>683826235One more.
>>683827389Still hosting?
>>683828123ya

>>683827727Its like saying "Nah, I'll win" to everyone else at the table. The earlier you Riichi the better.
>>683827062
>>683827427Yeah and no mention of MJS either anymore, that's exactly what they did
>>683803701Is it a proper "native" version or just mjs in a borderless browser?

Did anyone watch Pon no Michi? I was hoping for more mahjong anime but I've only heard bad things about it.

Not a single win. Almost had the chance to ron.>>683826235Gg.
Just double Ron's someone with the wind across. Mother fucker went into the negatives to give us both their points.
>>683831014this anime is not about mahjong
>>683826235ggsI got fucked out of some really nice hands
>>683826235ggI was aiming for a yakuman on that last hand....

>>683831014Just watch the trollsubs by a schizophrenic from /a/, it's the only thing that makes the show remotely worth watching.
>>683831469real life anime girls play mahjong???
>>683822804Yes but bots do their moves immediately so playing against other beginner humans is better because you have more time to think since everyone is as slow as you.
>>683831469Kigurumi or whatever the fuck this is called is so damn creepy.
>>683803701Riichi City is better though

I don't have any friends (mahjong players or otherwise) but I have a lot of money. Should I buy an autotable?
>>683831705I need to turn this into an anki deck or something holy shit
>>683837948Are you retarded? Unless you have people to play with, an autotable is a complete waste of money. You can get cheaper ones but it's still a waste if you aren't going to play. What would be the point?
ten's end still makes me sad whenever I think about it. alzheimers sucks
>>683838025Shadow Mahjong.
>>683838025Maybe I could make friends if only I had an autotable...
>>683838386>you will never lure a gaggle of cute oba-sans into your home with a fancy autotable
>>683838248I think it was fucking beautiful, man. For some reason Akagi reminds me of my grandpa, so maybe that's why i admired him so much. The only thing that pisses me off was skipping two people. FKMT managed to make me feel on the Genji part, a dude that didn't even knew Akagi before but skipped the two randos that actually knew/admired him made me disappointed a bit. Still, it's impressive that the best Ten arc isn't even about mahjong lol.
>>683839030>For some reason Akagi reminds me of my grandpaI read the end of akagi when my grandpa was terminal and my grandma was gone from advanced alzheimers. Watching my grandpa go from a very active old man to someone completely destroyed by disease was hard to watch.Which people were skipped?
>>683807725>RC has danganronpa shit>MS has fateslopThere is no real winning, both are trash
>>683839318Sorry to hear that, anon. Thankfully my old man only had one close call when he had an infection, and according to my cousins he said "Let me make the trip". I'm happy he's still around, with his stubborn attitude. >Which people were skipped?Washio, the dude that was with the monk and Akagi on Hawaii and Ken, the glasses dude that pulls Hiroyuki back into the game for the East/West match. I'm not gonna pretend they were important, but compared to Genji it feels cheap that they were skipped
>>683839758
>>683823996Closest thing i remember to that is Kaiji crying while yelling "RON!". I don't think anyone actually cries in Ten.
>>683839864>Both franchises have the gayest characters known to man and trannies seem to enjoy using them for their avatarsHMMMM
>>683839758go play on tenhou or just stop bitching about jpgs on the screen, for god's sake.
>>683839758I bet one of these two games are going to get a Strive collab cementing it as tonight's big loser
>>683839830Eh, I felt that would just stretch it out too long. The people that did talk to akagi all tried to appeal with a different arguments and emotions, and akagi bested them all. He earned the right to go into space
>>683841072>>683839830Also, the final match against Mitsui Soga was pure kino. When they played the 8th tile, and anyone with even basic game logic could understand it would be a tie since the 9th tile would also be the same, yet akagi asks why soga isnt playing anymore. It shows just how far his mind has gone.

I recently promoted to the gold rooms, and I was super stoked. but since then the flow has abandoned me. I haven't had a sniff of hell sand in weeks. It doesn't even feel like I'm playing badly, just getting incredibly unlucky (early deal ins with no real counterplay).what the fuck do I do? I don't wanna derank back into shittersville.

It just doesn't feel right to have the two dudes that had more of a connection to Akagi other than playing on the same side of a team being the ones who get skipped.
>>683843923Learning the rules of the game is easy, learning how to (most likely) not lose is hard.

No matter how hard I try I cannot get good at mahjong. I sit there trying to make pairs and straights or whatever the fuck and I always lose no matter what I do. This game is the definition of artificial difficulty.Can someone link a guide on how to actually PLAY this fucking game instead of just "here's the tiles and yaku's, good luck LMAO". There needs to be footage of someone playing a full game and explaining what the fuck they are doing and WHY they are doing it so the strategy is comprehensible otherwise this shit is garbage and I refuse to play it.

>>683850337What really got me was seeing yt flood my recommended with videos from the newest livestream with people saying it was PM's first livestream, and outing themselves as newfags by saying it was their first time seeing director's vtuber. I think i'm just getting old and grumpy, but i can understand why a lot of people here say gatekeeping is needed.
>>683850626>he only understands it now
>>683803701What's that cat's personality?
>>683850780I was wrong and made a mistake. Here's hoping they'll make a new game and filter the shitters, but the pessimist in me tells me it's over. At least i still have the H-RPG maker games, i guess...
I played a sanma game today and won. That's enough mahjong for the week.

What are your thoughts on moon rabbit?
I wish the voice actor for Akagi used his younger voice in the game

>>683857418doesnt work
I'd make a room but I play city...
>>683859597Just logged in and got a ticket. If I roll a collab character I'll make a 'ity lobby.
>>683859597I got nothing. FUCK riichi shitty.
>>683859597nigger
I still don’t know how to get all simples, can I pon and chii or them or is it like riichi where you have to draw them?
>>683860360As long as your hand contains no 1/9/Wind/Dragon tiles you can do whatever you want
>>683860360It depends on the rule set. MS allows open tanyao (all-simples) by default iirc. By the way, the jargon you're looking for is open hand vs closed hand (open hand = you've made any pon, chii, or kan call and thereby have a visible meld; a hand that is not open is closed)
>>683860742>>683860713Ah got it, thanks lads!
why room
>only yakuman ever achieved is big three dragons>only yakuman i know how to buildi'm too dumb to actually learn

>>683861309Three dragons/winds ĂĽber alles!
>>683861309Ganbare nyagger
>>683862054Ok i got this game installed. Is there some newb friendly room?
>>683862207Closest is bronze room in the ranked rooms, play the tutorial they give you as it gives you a good idea of how to get yaku’s and what to get. Rule of thumb: triplets and straights are good, an easy yalu is to get three winds (the moon rune tiles) or three dragons (coloured tiles that aren’t numbers)
If jade is the gacha currency, what does copper do? Can I exchange them into jade?
STOP FUCKING KAN'ING YOU STUPID FUCKING CHINKS

How do unlock new Mahjong sluts?
>>683862459>he doesn't know
Some of these sluts I'm playing mahjong against make me want to climb over the table and rape them
>>683862459>kan when I'm first for the lolz on last round>accidentally make the guy in open tenpai get a shit ton of dora >he riichis some poor sucker that isn't me >he gets first, I get second, but third and fourth are super low pointsI don't know what to call this play-style but it's funny to be the cause of someone's downfall indirectly
>>683862608Paypig for the 30-day login jade or just paypig outright. Then get lucky.Or play, a lot. And win. Then buy tickets. The F2P ratio of time to rolls is tremendously harsh in this game.>>683862456Copper is for buying gifts once in a while to speed along the process of levelling the slut's bond just a little. But if you're total dogshit at the game and losing a lot, you might actually run out at the start.
>>683863150It cracks me up whenever that happen but you got to feel bad for them.
Newb here.Which ranked is better 4 player east or 4 player south and why?
>>683837870occult vs digital
>>683831208>>683837870>>683866117What are "FB1" and "RMS"?
>>683864546South is how the game is played normally. East is for wageslaves who don't have time for proper South games like me.

>download mahjong soul on steam just to look at it and in case i ever want to use spare steam funds from selling trading cards on gacha>it's got a fucked up english font
>>683866586so just like the browser version?
>>683866881it's a totally different font from browser
>>683837870>>683866230Flow Book 1 and Real Mahjong strategy, they are strategy books for rivaling mahjong ideologies.FB1 are the occult players. They believe mahjong is a game based on luck and based their decision making on the flow aka feeling.While they play illogically, they tend to win huge or rare hands. RMS are the digital players. They believe that Mahjong is based in skill. They learn the ins and outs of the game and aim to play optimally.
So other than payment methods is there any difference between the steam and standalone versions?
>>683866374What's the difference?
>>683867489South is doubly as long as east

>>683850838She is great at mahjong(she does not know any yaku, but the game tells you when you are in tenpai)
>>683825354>why are there things in the game that makes you loseYeah, why can't we all be winners
>>683870626Wait, NTA, but calling Chii or Pon is something you shouldn't do?
>>683868505>doxing peopleNot joining
>>683871410Not an expert but I'd say opening your hand when you don't have any yaku is generally a bad idea
>>683871442>doxingnigga what
>>683831646>girlsAnon...
>>683871410If you don't know why you should chi or pon, don't.Knowing when to go for open hands and when not comes with experience.
>>683871410You limit yourself and make your hand worth much less.Of course, it's not like you shouldn't do it at all. But not unless you know what you're doing.
>>683867854>>683868025It's obviously an edit. A joke, probably, unless someone actually tried to deceive retards so he can get all the delicious uradora.

Why are all the Japanese variant games made by Chinks? I ain't giving any money Xi
>>683847720>nyagger deals inof course
>>683863152>paypig outright. Then get lucky.I fucking hate this nigger shit. I understand its F2P and they need to make money somehow, but just let me buy the damn thing I want. Is an anime girl JPEG 20 bucks, fine, I know im getting ripped off but at least I get what I want. God, I hate gacha, they should ban it and make it a capital offence.
>>683867489game starts with east, everyone gets to be the dealer once (or more if they win while they're the dealer), if you play east only the game will end after 4 rounds (or 1 more if a dealer wins), if you play south you get another 4 rounds
>>683861309start kokushi maxxing
>>683809048Collab ended months ago. No you can't.
>start with 5 pairs>think about doing a 7 pair hand>get my 6th pair 2 tiles in>riichi>never get dealt intoI hate this meme hand
>>683874413Well, in case you really are unlucky, you can pity redeem any (currently available) character you want after rolling the gacha 150 times which if you only use paid currency and no free roll, will cost you around $240See >>683812668In short, just play mahjong as the cat girl or the hag. If you can somehow get a character with free rolls, good, but it shouldn't be your objective, just a bonus after playing for months.
>>683873982Japanese devs can't get over their pay 2 play model for mahjong games.
>>683875075That is always the downside to 7 pairs, you're on a singe-tile wait. It's often not worth calling riichi for it, and instead just choosing damaten.Damaten: to have a hand capable of calling riichi, but not doing so. This allows you more flexibility in your hand and discards, but of course means your hand, should you win, will lose the riichi scoring.
>>683875091I know, and if rolling was limited to free only it wouldve been fine. You want to freeload? Sure, but you have to play a lot and be lucky. But the fact that paying customers still have to gamble is stupid. I know it makes more money, but it's just cancer. And I have this issue with all gacha. Its retarded slotmachine bullshit that should be banned. Save that shit for grannies gambling away the inheritance in las vegasAnd if Im honest, Ill probably end up playing as the cat even if I had everything unlocked.
>>683847720OUT FUCKING SKILLED
>>683875246>dont riichi>switch my wait to a better tile>the tile I was waiting with gets discarded
>>683875075You build it bad. Discard all middle tiles (2-8) when going for chiitoi ASAP. Riichi with a final wait on a terminal (1 or 9) or even better, an honor tile. Of course, adapt depending on the situation, but a general guideline>>683875246This is bad advice; chiitoi dama is usually the retarded option. Even with two dora.
>>683867854look and laugh at this flowlet
do mods work with steam version?
>>683875385>the riichi addict ending up in 4th place because he was forced to auto-discard into a Sanbaiman

How do I cope with my horrible stats? I have half a mind to return to majsoul but that >30% of 4th place on yonma is just soul-crushing. I just can't help myself sometimes and stop paying attention, playing for the hell of it.
>>683875663Pointless dama is just that, pointless
>>683842668what the fuck, deranking is a thing?
>>683875663
>>683876048Yes. But, once you've left Novice rank and gained Adept, you can never go below Adept.

>>683875943Have you tried getting good
>>683803701Can I use my Steam accountI had an account years ago but stopped playing after I became ashamed of spending money in it, I want to be a nyagger again
>>683875663It takes time for a person to understand that in mahjong it's much more important to not lose than to win.
>>683876353Ah, this makes me smile. 4 Kan, Three Dragons... lost to garbage.

imagine sticking your dick in this.
Why do fake weeaboos play Chinese slop?
>>683876992you're a fucking idiot bro lol
>>683876992>chinese slopRiichi Mahjong is explicitly japanese, retard.
>>683877234And Mahjong Soul is explicitly developed by a Chinese company
>>683877415So if a deck of Poker cards are made by a chinese company, playing Poker with those cards makes it a chinese game?You fucking mong.
>>683877493It doesn't make it a Chinese game but it does make you look like an ass for not at least using a basic ass Bicycle deck and using Chinese bootlegs instead.
>>683877992Holy owned. Highly based. No one should be so lucky to be in tenpai from the start.
>>683867312>They believe mahjong is a game based on luck and based their decision making on the flow aka feelinghow do you even play based on 'flow' what strategy is that
>constantly get pairs>forced to break them up for sequences cause I KNOW I ain’t getting the 3 of a kind
>>683867312You don't. Mahjong is just probabilities and chance. Play logically.

is the akagi manga good (and translated)? i watched the anime like 50 years ago
>>683879329its good and its kino if you read ten after akagi
I got cucked out of first place by someone starting with two pairs and drawing almost straight into 4 concealed tripletsHow many children do I have to sacrifice for this kind of flow?
What are all the manga in the akagi universe?
>>683879456>appears as a response to a prayer of a dying mahjong player>emergences from a torrential rain>has white hair as a 14 yo in a series in which characters generally have realistic hair colors>picks up the game in a few plays with almost no instruction>destroys everyone in mahjong, then leavesIf not for Ten I would say akagi is a yokai
