He had it rough there. Only had two safe tiles in his hand.

After this round he started dealing into basically everything and then busted. Poor guy.

GOOD!

And we're waiting for trakks to confirm?

>>14728952
Yeah, 3am UTC. San-san is the only one that's confirmed that time so far. Still need confirmation from Doragan, Corak and trakss.

>>14728963
Oh, just checked my email, Doragan and trakss have confirmed so we're just waiting on Corak then.

>>14728952
Corak here, that time is fine.

These ippatsu tsumos are killing me.

Okay

No

Everyone has the flow but me

This is rigged

It's gonna be one of those games, isn't it.

>UNIVERSE's starting hand

That must hurt.

Aww no ippatsu for me?

>>14729010
You fucking bet.

Another potential ippatsu missed.

3 (three) ippatsu tsumo mangan in a row.

This is some high quality stuff right there.

Thanks internet

Thanks

QUEUE!

>>14729182
oh open tanyao

>>14729182
It looked like an open tanyao but I have no idea why he was sitting on the dora (south wind) like that.

damn that starting hand for universe was pretty insane.

>>14729193
I'm surprised he didn't shoot for either toitoi, honitsu, or both. Or at least riichi on the 1p when he was in chiitoi tenpai.

I really don't understand why Gogo opens his hand when there isn't an obvious han to build toward.

>>14729196
yeah i would have called riichi on the 1p.

>>14729207
I don't really understand why you feel the need to comment on other people when you don't know the difference between yaku and han.

>>14729214
He meant hand, asshole

his net strikes again

>>14729220
No.

Gogo's revenge.

aw neither universe or fumo will finish their hands

>Both players are sitting on 2 south tiles each

>>14729234
That's what you get for opening your hand like a slut. They'd get somewhere if they worked around using it as their pair.

Gogo can't be stopped

>>14729273
It's my impression that Gogo only knows a few yaku, such as chanta, so he just tries to build hands around those, although I admit I've hardly followed any players in the /jp/ mahjong thread. Just watching this game and last, this is the impression I have.

>>14729265
He was in furiten due to a 4p discard from early in the round.

d-didn't fumo just declare a furiten richii?

>>14729288
Well that hand was really shitty. If I don't see something clear from the go, I go for chanta or tanyao

Good game guys.

>>14729417
Yeah that second hanchan was really long. The first was fairly long, too.

>>14729385
Nishishi here. I'm leaving on Saturday for a whole week, but 6am should still be fine. I will give you an update later in the week.

I just asked my boss and apparently I have a lunch meeting at that time. I can compromise on a weekday even if I have to stay up in the middle of the night since 2 weeks from now I'm not available on a weekend as well.

>>14729462
fumofumo here by the way. I'll just update my available times in the whenisgood link.

>>14729462
>>14729475
Are you able to play after that meeting? How's 8am or 9am?

>>14729068
This hand caused the whole tournament to change

>>14729484
I just realized, it happened again. A strange coincidence saved me and let me come in first in the first hanchan again. I was the dealer, and if I had to pay the 8000 points, I doubt it would have been able to make the comeback. The last place in the second hanchan would have guaranteed I was out. I think I just beat out Gogo's luck in a head-to-head battle.

>>14729068
Would he win it if he had the auto-win button toggled?

>>14729482
No I can't, since I'll be outside that time. I can do 7-8 hours before that but that's it.

Waza pls

+- 0 with retarded tanki waits. I don't feel bad.

tfw still bad

Good game guys.

Surprisingly Gogo didn't deal in once in the game we just had.

He also didn't win a single hand.

>>14729561
I was Aha, sorry if I made the game suck for everyone else. I've only been playing for a few days.

>>14729561
Someone else was dealing in before he got the chance to.

>>14729567
You played just fine, worry not

>>14729577
Should I be holding off 7447 if I just know Yaku and not much else about the game?

>>14729541
Hm, this will be tricky then. How about Thursday 6pm UTC?

>>14729443
Oh god, I'm so sorry. I overslept for my nap, and I missed the match. I underestimated jet lag.

>Gogo at last.
This is my punishment

-Smith357

>>14729581
It's fine. We've been through Gogo so I think we've weathered your kinds of players already. At least try to learn some basic defense techniques like suji, kabe and betaori and master the yakus you know.

>>14729585
I'm sorry it had to be like this. Well, there's always next time.

>>14729567
Don't worry about it. You weren't calling on random tiles and making yakuless hands so you already did better than 90% of new players. You should work on defense though, try not to deal in as much. Especially what happened in East 2, throwing down a live dora is extremely dangerous.

>>14729591
I'll go play away my sorrows at 0 I suppose

>>14729595
>throwing down a live dora is extremely dangerous.
When someone calls riichi I mean.

>>14729583
I think I can manage but I'll see if my internet connection will hold up at that time.

>>14729567
It's okay, man, you made a valiant effort. Scored a few hands, too!

For E1, you shouldn't have gone for the richii, imo. Two of the 2p were already discarded.

For E2 bonus hand 1 you shouldn't have discarded the south wind since it was the dora. Then again I just went full retard with the tanki waits this game.

For E3, waiting on a tanki wait for 5s is a bad idea, usually. If one riichis for chiitoitsu it's usually for an honor tile or any tile that isn't 3, 4, 5, as those are the most versatile tiles. In your case, you had a red 5s so in theory that was worth the risk. You just got unlucky here, imo.

For E4, you were too far from completing toitoi. I think you should have bailed.


I think you played the rest of the game well.

Thanks for all your advice, I'll work on everything. Good game

>>14729627
Another piece of advice is that you can't chi something then throw out something that completes the wait. Such as the 4 man I bet you just tried to throw out for san-shoku.

>>14729613
I just saw your revised Whenisgood entry. Will your internet be more reliable during the new time blocks?

Nishishi, are you able to compromise and do 9am? If not then it might be easier if I swap someone from side B.

>>14729636
I picked the times when I'm at the office a few hours before/after work. I'll try later today if my internet is stable so I can be more flexible with my playing times.

>1 away from Kokushi tenpai

Well that one went better, thanks guys.

Now I remember why I ignore Chanta when I play ranked or tournament. Dealt in twice big.

It's okay, that fourth Chun was probably in the dead wall anyway.

>>14730057
It just went downhill after that.

>>14730039
Remi would probably win all the games.

>>14728604

>>14730606
Sorry forgot my reply. Honestly it depends, if I'm in 7447 I'd pass it for sure but in the ranked games I'd probably take it there's only 3 tikes left and it isn't unlikely that middle pin tiles are tied up in people's hands, however one thing I would have done either way was riichi to get a shot at them ura-dora.

>>14730614
>1 point
Never mind can't riichi can you

>>14730606
Very tough.

Winning that mangan would leave you 14500 points behind third, so even a mangan tsumo in S4 would leave you last. You would need a mangan direct hit or haneman tsumo to get third.

On the other hand, a suuankou would propel you to second place, and you're probably not going to get a better hand than this. You're fucked anyway so might as well dream big.

Not him, but in the main menu, in the Freeモド box, in the bottom right corner is プライベート戦.
When you're there, the gold button will redirect you to your browser where you can make a private room, and under one of the options, you can set it to 四麻半荘 (4 player hanchan). You can then use the other (green) button in プライベート戦 to connect to the lobby you just made.

>>14733081
Tenhou doesn't use Renhou sadly. You would've been better off ignoring that and calling double riichi. Or even getting a Chihou if you were lucky.

That said I think it's really silly they don't have Renhou in Tenhou. At the very least have Renhou be worth mangan!

>>14729936
>>14731968
Well, that's neat, if a little inconvenient. What benefits does MJnet have over Tenhou aside from the avatars (which probably can only be customized with real money)? I wouldn't mind trying it, just curious if it's worth the trouble.

>>14733136
This. Why should I play MJ rather than tenhou?

We should get a JRM thing going again.

If you had 3 sequential sets how would that be interpreted? Let's say you have another sequence and win on your taniki wait, would that be counted as a Sanankou or Pinfu, Iipeikou?

>>14733170
>pair wait
>pinfu
I'm an idiot you win on your other sequence.

>>14733167
I would play but I ran out of points when I tried to play around 5 months ago. Do I have to log in on certain days or some shit?

>>14733170
You mean like 444555666? You always go for the highest possible score, which would be sanankou.

>>14733183
But you lose pinfu in that case, essentially both hands are worth 2 Han, I guess it's worth more fu as well though

>>14733182
Don't they sometimes give you free points every now and then?

I tried to login to my account the other day to check things out but I don't remember the password or the answer to the recovery question.

>>14733127
It's a fucking shame, I got so excited when I saw that ron prompt, too. It's dumb that it's almost always better to just wait for the double riichi, not to mention the chance of chiihou.

If they made it worth a mangan, or even 2 han, then it would make you consider whether you want to go for it or wait for the double riichi, but as it is, it's completely worthless.

>>14733195
You're right I can't read. Apparently you get free points every 3rd, 5th, and 7th day of the week and every 10th and 20th day of the month. Tomorrow is the 3rd day, I don't know how many points they give out though.

>>14733170
I believe it's always evaluated as the highest possible Han, and in cases where you have multiple hand shapes with equal Han values, the one with the highest Fu is chosen, since it gives you more points.

>>14733167
That would be nice but I can't get it to install on Windows 8, wondering if anyone else has that issue. It's still my favorite client presentation wise.

>>14733196

C kicking everyone's ass, while B goes for Kokushi every single hand, and A disconnects out of frustration.

If someone calls 3 dora and you're not even close to finishing your hand should you just betaori?

>>14737713
It depends on the flow, but if you don't have a fast hand the flow is not with you so you should play it safe in that situation.

>>14737713
Their hand could be a complete mess except for the dora 3, so no I wouldn't bail. Knowing my luck, I'd probably deal into it regardless of bailing.

>>14737713
It depends on the dora. For example, if the dora is a non-round, non-seat wind for the person who calls it, then they must have a predictable yaku to win with it, things like yakuhai, chanta, toi-toi or hon-itsu, which you should be able to narrow down based on discards. In any case where you wouldn't have to deal tiles dangerous to those hands, you can continue progressing your hand.

If the dora is a chunchanpai it gets a little more difficult because kuitan is a thing. Typically betaori is a good decision if you think someone is tenpai, your hand is 2 shanten or more, and your overflow tiles are dangerous.

That said, there's no hard and fast system that applies in every situation.

Is there any chat system during the matches ? I haven't seen one of those during in the youtube videos

>>14738187
The only mahjong client I've ever seen with chat during matches is Toupaiou. JRM had little pre-determined chat cut-ins but other than that nothing. I assume the temptation to cheat or strike deals mid-match is too high.

That and no one wants to hear someone be salty in chat after they deal in to something big.

This just happened in 7447 and I'm curious as to if I made the "right" decision here, so what would you do?

>>14738804
Chi the 2p discard 3-sou for Honitsu, possible ittsu tenpai

Anyone got a good guide for getting into Mahjong? Absolutely a complete noob here.

>>14738804
I would have called chi, formed a 123p set, and discard 3s. That way you have a 2-sided wait with 7 lives tiles to win on. What did you do, anon?

>>14738804
Personally I'd pon on the 2p and wait on 1p.

You could very well chi and go on a 25p wait, but since 5p is the dora I find it very unlikely that it will be dealt into, and if you slow down too much A will probably complete his hand.

I think that with the pon, there actually is a chance that the hand will be dealt into since people might assume it's safe because it got cut off by the pon,

>>14738835
Chi is 3-6 wait though

>>14738842
Oh fuck, my bad. Then yeah, chi.

>>14738835
And what actually happened. 2p was pon'd. Then almost immediately, 1p was dropped.

>>14738813
>>14738817
>>14738846
That's what I expected as a response, but what I did was as >>14738835 originally suggested. The 1 pin would become a near useless tile, and would seem safer to others because of the call. I didn't need the istu anyway, and the shimocha is likely going for an open tan yao, likely with dora which would use up some of my potential winning tiles.

>>14738860
Eh that's a lot of speculation. Even though it panned it you probably should have gone for the better wait. 3 outs against 7 is a pretty big difference, if people started clinging to pin tiles you probably would have had almost no chance but with the chi tsumo is morr viable

>>14738878
>better wait
>implying ryanmen is always better

Sure, the sheer quantity of tiles available is nice to have. But, the 1-pin tanki aided by 2-pin kabe is actually pretty strong. Only thing that'd really stop that is a 1-pin ankou. Anyone else holding onto 1-pin would have fucked up hands.

>>14738882
One-pin could easily be a pair as well, leaving him with one out which is possibly in the dead-wall. Sure it may be slightly moe likely to get discarded but people could have just as easily folded to avoid his honitsu. Betting on your number of tiles is better than betting on something as random as your opponents behavior. If it was the difference of one or two outs maybe but it had more than twice the amount

In the ippan lobby that you're in, you only get points for first. For the upper lobbies, you also get points for second place but penalties for fourth place get harsher as you move up in rank.

Thanks that's really useful, I guess I'll hang in here and try to get in upper lobby when I'm better.

Nishishi, any update on your availability for the semis yet?

>>14738816
The links in the op should give you a good start.

You can Google some guides pretty easily, but here's my advice on the order you should learn:

Basic rules if play
Basic terminology
Get used to non-internatipnal tiles (man suit, wind, dragon's)
Valid yaku
Furiten
Defense
Tile efficiency


Download virtual tenhoG on your phone and toss some tiles versus some bots. This will get you into the basics. I'll warn you, getting good vs bots is fine but a path of pain awaits once you're ready to play real folks. Come back when you're ready and I'll teach you about tenhou

Good luck

Why do people recommend tenhouG when the interface is terrible. I got headaches looking at it. I only use it to drill fu and score calculations.

Would you guys have declared richii?

Not winning this hand is what probably caused me to end the match in second place.

>>14742874
Even though it's a pretty big hand like it is, if you wait for something better you could easily add tanyao and pinfu to it, making it a baiman, so I'd have waited.

>>14742874
I wouldn't have. The hand can still be changed quite easily to be worth even more, and the wait isn't very good. It's already a haneman if tsumo'd. On top of that, both the shimocha and kamicha are likely to throw the 8 man out if you just wait, so even if you can't change it, it's still a mangan.

>>14742788
Well a friend bought it for me while he was in japan for a trip. I don't know if there is a crack yet.

Yeah, I was willing to call to make it tanyao, but it probably wasn't meant to be. Maybe if I had kept the 12m from earlier.

>>14743002
Well, I would never assume throwing the entire wait out to be a good idea, even if it wasn't the best.

>>14742874
>>14743002
Since you completed sanshoku, discarding 9m instead of 5s was too ambitious.

Keeping 79m would allow dama ron on 8m, and you could still improve your wait by 2s pon or calling chi on 356m. With that in mind, keeping the 5s for even more tanyao or iipeikou opportunities is a bit too much of a tradeoff since you're going back 1-shanten.
