I definitely thought toimen was gonna win because he was 40k ahead with one guy down to zero points. Never give up.

>>14889416
>win 6 hands in a row only to deal into 4 hands in a row later
Ippan in a nutshell. Still good job, but you were extremely lucky and toimen fucked up a lot things (calling riichi here was so retarted).

>>14889607
Yeah, I would've never gotten close to 1st if he hadn't fucked up so badly and frequently.

>>14893385
Yes. You're going to get unlucky every so often regardless of what lobby you're in.

Ippan is especially swingy because the players are more aggressive. If you're in 3rd and 4th riichis in orasu, normally people would just fold and let the game end. But in ippan you have people who will drop risky tiles while in 1st and deal into that riichi, and boom, suddenly you're dropped into 4th because someone else dealt in.

It would be stupid to push here - second place is still better than third/fourth.

I gotta ask: I want to buy a Riichi set cause it looks cool. I sometimes play with Chinese people and they just gotta have their season and flower tiles. Does a Japanese Mahjong set exist that has both seasons and flowers?

>>14895537
Flowers. Yes. I have yet to see one with seasons though.

>>14895540
That's what I feared, even that new Nintendo one doesn't have em. I find it odd that they'd have Flowers, but not Seasons.
It was like Japan was like, alright you can have your faggy bonus tiles, but you only get half of them.

>>14895579
The red 5's took the slot for season tiles.

>>14895537
Chinese mahjong is fun.

>>14895687
I've played all sorts of versions of mahjong cause of all the different Chinese folks around. Japanese mahjong is my favorite obviously, and I hope in the future, I becomes recognized as the definitive version of the game. Chinese mahjong is also cool, and by that I mean Hong Kong Jong.

Sichuan Mahjong, I hate it.
No word tiles? Eh, I've played versions without em before.
Can't chi? Again, not an unusual rule.
Can't Ron? I'm out.

For that matter, Scoring is all luck. Where you sit has a direct connection to your score, strength of hand usually means nothing unless you got a kan. So when you roll the dice to break the wall and the number determines who breaks it right? So dealer has 1,5,9. Next guy has 2,6,10 etc. When you win (excuse me, TSUMO), you take out six tiles from the wall and you score one point for each tile that has the same number for your seat. So if you're dealer, and you draw a one of bamboos and two five of dots, that's three points. Fucking retarded right?

>>14895842
Seasons and flowers are basically dora that you discard into your discard pile.

>>14895883
Oh yeah, some forms of mahjong are real shit. Sichuan sounds bad, man. I feel sorry. American also sounds bad.

>>14904443
Not really. I typically get cockblocked from getting 1st because there's always that one guy that gets a mangan or higher tsumo during my dealer turn. Hell, I rarely get ronned nowadays unless I go all in with a big hand. It's the tsumos that kill me. I have no trouble accepting a 4th place if I play like shit, I deserved it after all. But when you end up with 1400 points or less without dealing in, even after you win some hands, there's definitely some bullshit magic taking place during those games.

>>14904488
A lot of your problems probably stem from your attitude towards luck factor and biases like thinking that somehow a streak of previous results are anything more than coincidences; coincidences that may have happened also because of tile efficiency mistakes.

>>14904576
I'll have to agree. No one plays perfectly. Even if you didn't deal in, there might have been times when you should have pushed to win.

>>14905308
Just checked at batoto, it's still at volume 3. Isn't the manga already far? I don't know what volume, maybe 7?

>>14904370
i usually tend to play like jyushimatsu, riding flow off a shitty hand into absolute offense. if i don't win though i end up like osomatsu and get too aggressive and let people steal my shit going for quick wins, instead of riding the flow and pressing smartly while people make mistakes off of the pressure. i attribute that to not really having played much in my life comparatively

needs to be a balance between flow and making smart plays, i definitely believe in a kind of flow which stems from people feeling pressured into mistakes when someone seemingly has the momentum. i feel like a good player can keep pressing on that, and the player with flow can continue to ride the momentum if they press and capitalize, but if you get too greedy you can lose it all (especially if the other players believe are resistant to pressure)

Currently being translated mahjong manga include: Akagi, Hero, Mudazumo naki Kaikaku, Mukoubuchi, Naki no Ryuu, Saki, Shinohayu, Tetsunaki no Kirinji, Tohai.
Hero is a secondary project for FKMTkrazy though so it's not advancing extremely fast.

Yes, it'd be better for you to play in the second lobby now. The opponents may be a little harder, but now you'll get +15 points for placing second. You will also probably gain more R since your opponents will probably have more R compared to the ones you find in ippan.

>>14906164
Is there anything else to be aware of? I know that you now lose points for last.

>>14906176
Make sure you're not last in order to minimize R loss and pt loss. It'll feel bad placing third, I know, but it's still better than last place.

When I first got to joukyu, I was surprised by how people seemed to have increased the amount of yaku they used compared to my opponents in ippan. Watch out for itsu, especially if they suddenly call a 123 or 789. Sanshoku is also popular, as with Honitsu.

If someone calls tiles twice, I usually consider betaori unless I am in tenpai or I have a real good hand that's iishanten.

Don't be afraid to betaori - sometimes your hand is just too slow and someone else beat you to tenpai. Not winning the hand is better than dealing in.

Keep track of the dora. The attached picture happened in tokujou, but the concept still applies. I'm in tenapi for a shitty 7m kanchan wait, but then I drew the dora 7p. I could have discarded the 7p to keep my tenpai, but the fact that I could see none of the 7p on the board makes it risky. Sure, all four 9p and three 8p are accounted for, but 5p and 6p are all still live tiles. Furthermore my hand is too cheap and thus not worth the risk. So here I took apart my hand and paid the noten penalty.

There might be an adjustment period. Your opponents are supposed to be better, after all, so you can't just steamroll these guys every game like you might have done in ippan. If you start losing a lot of games, you have to remember to keep calm. You might have dealt into a baiman last game, but that was in the past. Lean and reflect, but don't get upset and mess up more games over that mistake.

>>14906282
Thanks for the general advice, it's basically just not being able to get as away with as much sloppy/risky play it seems.

I certainly wasn't steamrolling often in ippan anyway.

I'd enjoy studying Lee Sedol's current games except for that I'm on oxycodone and can't focus well. Don't do drugs, don't get kidney stones.
Also, go is not capitalised, just as mahjong and chess are not capitalised.

To add to my previous post, I find it unfortunate that go and shogi are not more popular on /jp/. There are more east Asian games than mahjong, some of which are true mindsports without any luck factors.

Shogi and go are both fun, really. Go is interesting in that it's different from chess and draughts.
Shogi's not difficult to learn, but it's also easy to forget if you never play it. I don't know where I'd ever play it.

>>14908331
Thanks for the input, mate. It's going to take me a while to digest all that but it's exactly why I made the post in the first place.

>>14908027
No pros, but I have a while and need something to calm myself a little. Sorry if my english is shit tier.

E1:
I don't understand why you break 135p in six turn. Wait, you probably aim for dora, which was possible from 899p, but still this move is way too far from perfect. It wouldn't change to much because this hand had no future against that riichi, but you should keep it in mind for future.

E1-1:
Turn 6 again. Dropping 9s here is pointless, because you lose shanten and great defensive title if shimocha or toimen call riichi.
Next move is repeat of above play, because dropping 1m from 135m and keeping 9m is stupid. On the other side kamicha need that 9m to create ankou, but at this moment every single man title was dangerous and you drop it later (I don't know why he won't call it).
I don't even want to talk about your decision in late game, but almost every single one was horrible and I'm surprised that you somehow managed to win.

E2:
I would rather keep that 3p rather than 7m, but I'm too lazy to check what was more efficient here. Especially that in next turn you should drop the second one and keep 7p. As you can see, it backfire very fast.
The ending was very weird and there was a lot of mistakes from every players, but I probably wouldn't call that dora ankou, because it left you with only one winning title, which is worse than (still shitty) two 5m. And as you can see you would win this and avoid dealing to toimen.

E3:
In my opinion 8s was better discard than 7m in fifth turn. Also, I think that you should be more agressive and open your hand when first 9p appear - toimen already had open meld and you already had 3 yaku as oya.

E4:
Very solid play from efficiency side. On the other side I probably would fold, because that riichi wasn't worth it - shitty wait and 4p was dangerous against riichi. On the other side it's still better to deal into shitty 1300 than let kamicha win his bullshit hand, so you were very lucky here.

S1:
I have problem with this hand. It wasn't horrible and you end with tenpai to baiman, but I have feeling that something is off. It was just very slow hand without much chance of winning.

S2:
If you look at this hand from efficient point, you should discard 1s in sixth move. It hurt, because you lose your chance for iitsu, but one 2s is already out. If you really want to aim for iitsu, you should discard 5s, but no 5m for sure.
Dropping 9s in next turn is horrible, because you lose shanten and end with another pointless pair. You should always trying to keep as less pair as you can, because they are slow you drastically (unless you can get quickly chiitoi, but you usually can't).

S2-1:
Toimen, you lucky bastard.

S3:
Second discard is horrible. Not only you lose shanten, but if you get dora you would end with furiten. You should discard ton here, because two are already out. Also you could discard 9m, but it still has more potencial than ton.

S4:
I don't know if I would risk 3m. It was obviously what hand shimocha had and almost obviously that he's in tenpai.
Also riichi here is pointless. Your wait is shitty and even open tanyao nomi put you into second. On the other side this riichi make things easier for kamicha, because direct hit for 1000 is enough for him to put you in 4th. Be happy, because your luck was crazy in orasu.

Hope I help a little. If you want to defend your plays or have something more to ask, I would gladly answer.

>>14908236
I would play if there were some multiplayer platform like Tenhou since it would be impossible to play in real life for obvious reasons.

Would you guys have folded?

I ended up dealing the 9pin and dealt into shimocha's riichi nomi hand, but if I had balls I would have had a menzen tsumo, sanshoku, 2 dora, 2 reddora at this point.

>>14908723
You have no safe tiles so trying to fold is a pointless endeavor.

>>14908723
The only safe tile was the 8 pin you already dumped. You already escaped with the 5 sou, which was dangerous. If anything you should have dealt into the ippatsu.

You have 5 dora, go for the kill.

>>14908778
>5 dora
4 dora and a sanshoku. You would have haneman at the least.

>>14908447
Yeah. The website lichess made me play so much more chess. If only I would stop procrastinating, and fork the code to handle other board games.

>>14908723
>I ended up dealing the 9pin and dealt into shimocha's riichi nomi hand
And that's a good thing in this situation. It would have been better if it were the kamicha, but 1000 points to pass your dealer turn with a +20k lead in south 4 isn't bad at all. You're in first, so trying to extent the lead during a dangerous situation doesn't make much sense.

>>14908778
The 5 sou was thrown out by someone else kamicha already.

>>14908778
How was 5s dangerous? Toimen dropped 5s already.

The guy ruined his hand once shimocha declared riichi by discarding the 3p, which was safe because shimocha had discarded it earlier, so I don't know why you're saying he should have dealt into the ippatsu...?

>>14908802
Oops I mean kamicha in regards to the 5s.

>>14908723
Really hard to tell, few turn earlier maybe I would push, but at this point I would also drop 9p.
Well, if it was only riichi nomi it shouldn't hurt that much, as long as shimocha don't make some comeback in orasu. You still finish first?

Yeah, I ended up first since toimen went for a quick tsumo to secure second place. All's well that ends well, I suppose.

How long until AI will dominate houou & pro mahjong world?

>>14911613
I really doubt that mahjong ai would be difficult to make.
The only problem is that you can't play a 'perfect game' or win 100% of the time but it would be pretty easy to make a program that wins the majority of the time.
Hell, mahjong's so shallow the only real thing you'd have to program is knowing when to push and when to betaori.

>>14907997
Go is much more popular than mahjong in the West though. It's less popular on 4chan in general because there are no known Go series aside from Hikaru no Go, which ended ages ago. But I'm pretty sure we all know that "there are more east Asian games than mahjong".
Mahjong is also a "true mindsport" whatever way you look at it, if the point is exercising your brain. The luck factor has nothing to do with this. The word you're looking for, devoid of pretentious terms, is "strategy game". On that aspect Go and Shogi are indeed not the same as Mahjong.

Also, since AI can now consistently rek pros, Go isn't the same game anymore. In the end the role of intuition in it boils down to making a good guesses about the development of the game, but since given enough time even a child can manage to do it, the whole thing flies out the window when you have a program that is capable of spending all that time in seconds or minutes. It's pretty much cheating at that point.

>>14911613
A domination similar to the one that exists in Chess and similar games, and soon in Go will never happen due to randomness factor. Good mahjong AI isn't anything new, it's been around since quite some time, its implementation in online platforms without slowing things down to a crawl is what is new.

>>14911613
Not soon, since mahjong is neither a solved game nor partially solved game. Making the most efficient discard is not hard, I'm pretty sure every pro can do it.

>>14911949
You also have to consider that AI will be able to examine the state of the board and perform safe discards very quickly. They'll also be able to figure out what tiles are still alive from their own point of view and perform risk assessment of certain tiles and players in seconds, whereas a human wouldn't be able to work through that information in the middle of a game.

If anything will be an AI's downfall it'll be predictability and exploiting it.

>>14912573
I believe most of the pros are able to do that during a game, though it wouldn't be as efficient as the AI due to difference in speed. Efficiency and safe discards are just 2 facets of the game after all, the totality of mahjong doesn't revolve around them, especially at those times when assessing either of those is very hard.

>>14912573
Only genbutsu is perfect defense and anybody can do it quickly. Everything else is aimed at lowering one's chances of dealing into ryanmen and can be prone to failure.
With luck factor, 4 players and lack of perfect defense against many waits AI won't go over pro level.

>>14912798
No, genbutsu is not the only perfect defense. There are many other impossible waits that make non-genbutsu tiles 100% safe, which an AI will be able to more quickly calculate. The systems of mahjong are not hard for an AI to follow, it's mostly a game about maximizing probability. While human players are capable of making errors in that regard, AIs won't. The only thing AIs will be unable to replicate are the quirks and emotional plays of humans, which statistically are more harmful than good.

In other words, all of you digital players and your huge breasts are about to become obsolete.

>>14912875
>about to
As noted above, good mahjong AI already existed before tenhou's bots. On average in a game where a beginner plays against 3 such AI, most of the time things will end with AI victory.
Our current superstar AI 爆打 is not only able to place high against Houhou players, it's also able to frequently get its shit rekt. This is despite how easy the game is supposed to be for AI.

Mahjong being mostly a game about maximizing probability is only one way of describing it. People have been fighting over that for decades because it doesn't paint the whole picture. On the pro scene, at least when humans are physically present, most games don't consist of making the digitalest choice only. If there's a bias towards that anywhere it's in... digital systems, like online mahjong. Digital is necessary to avoid making objectively shit decisions, but it doesn't necessarily direct the entire game.

>>14912982
>Our current superstar AI 爆打 is not only able to place high against Houhou players, it's also able to frequently get its shit rekt.

Because mahjong is still a luck based game at the end of the day.

>>14913004
Yeah, tell that to people with 30+% first place rate

>>14913004
Which doesn't mean that the AI fails only due to bad luck.

As someone else already mentioned, a perfect AI making efficient or high probability discards could also be abused by taking intentionally bad waits, couldn't it?

>>14913068
Doesn't mean much. 30% is only 5% higher than your average chance of winning. If your opponents aren't as good at maximizing the odds as you are then your win rate slightly increases, big deal. Mahjong is still completely decided by luck in the end.

>>14913505
Says the guy who can't into the game.

>being able to make the right decision according to the situation doesn't mean shit because the situation changes all the time

>>14913572
I said it doesn't mean much, not that it doesn't mean anything. This game isn't about making the right decisions, it's about making the least bad decision. Even being able to do that, you will still lose to blind luck.

>>14913505
>Doesn't mean much
It actually does. There's 4 people, so winning more often than once in four games is pretty good. Since, you know, you aren't the only person trying to win.
>If your opponents aren't as good at maximizing the odds as you are then your win rate slightly increases
So if your opponent is less skilled, he'll win less. How is that completely decided by luck then you dumbfuck?

>>14913620
Luck is the deciding factor in mahjong. If your opponent is less skilled than you, he -might- lose to you. If he gets luckier than you, though, he will beat you. If you have a run of bad luck, you will lose by the virtue of not being able to do anything.

Skill only factors in when there's a difference in experience. At the highest levels of play, this game is 100% luck. Ergo, mahjong is not something you should take seriously.

>>14913605
>>14913653
>This game isn't about making the right decisions
[citation]

>you will still lose to blind luck.
Yeah, except one-sided games are actually rare.
And by the way thinking about it in another way, those games that supposedly are based on skill alone also incorporate luck very frequently. Slipping up due to exhaustion for example, or because you wanted to try something new and it didn't work, happen quite often. Those have nothing to do with skill and the winner will have gotten lucky when he wins such a match. Or for example in team sports, one or two key players of a team can get taken out early on or even before the game by accident, allowing a team that most probably wouldn't win against them to win. And if you are in a group of people supposed to be around the same level as you are, and then simply happen to play against some who are simply so much better than you, you and every other person like you will get rekt without being able to do anything. In all competitive areas that are supposedly based on skill and have no room for luck you will still meet situations that you will be unable to resolve no matter what you do.

Mahjong actually equalizes the chances of all players and has no room for skill that turns out to be something like bruteforcing calculations or biological advantages. Flat out bad players will still never win no matter how lucky they get (any person who plays with a group that has such players would be able to tell you so). Between players who play well, on average players who are worse than you (meaning those who are unable to make the logical choices when necessary, and are unable to move via intuition when necessary) will also lose more than you do. At the highest level of play the game is actually more about correctly betting on a future you think will materialize (any person who has watched pro games would be able to notice how DIGITAL ONLY, PROBABILITIES CAN SOLVE EVERYTHING is not the play style in use for most), not 100% luck.

>Ergo, mahjong is not something you should take seriously.
If you are able to you should take literally nothing seriously because it's all dukkha and sunyata in the end.

>>14913653
you're a smasher I take it?
I suppose it's possible for a complete retard to win a mahjong tournament by a long streak of sheer unbelievable luck, but the same shit can happen at the World Series of Poker (or Dice) and I don't hear anyone saying that hold em poker is a game/"sport" of luck.

Even at the highest levels, where all the pros play with absolutely perfect tile efficiency strategy in mind, you have to account for the simple fact that you don't know what's in your opponent's hand, let alone three of them at the same time. Mahjong has elements of deception in subtle ways and it's not uncommon for someone to make strange discards or callling a chi with the sole purpose of tricking someone into lowering his guard.

I'm not convinced it's really even "mostly luck"

>>14913806
A smasher? As in someone who smashes things when they lose? I get frustrated at times but it never turns physical.

You may not be convinced it's a game of chance, but it is, and I'm sure many people consider poker one too. Amateurs can beat pros in both mahjong and poker. Certainly, there is skill involved, but luck is the bigger factor here.

Which is why we can't really judge a mahjong AI as incompetent just because it can't win every game. By the same token we can't judge it competent just because it can place against houou players sometimes.

>>14913857
>Your time is done
But your whole argument is that mahjong is all about luck
If it is, then making an AI is pointless
Are you just relieving your anger by posting dumb stuff or something?

>>14913806
>Mahjong has elements of deception in subtle ways and it's not uncommon for someone to make strange discards or callling a chi with the sole purpose of tricking someone into lowering his guard.
Reminds me of when I was in the final match of a tourney with a 5dan as my kamicha and I chi'd the fuck out of my hand to make the rest of the table think I had an almost finished hand, but I wasn't even close to forming any yaku whatsoever. Though, the 5dan told me this stuff would be really risky and probably would not have worked on tokujou or houou.

>>14913954
>If it is, then making an AI is pointless

What? I don't understand your logic here.

>>14913960
Both player and AI can win off luck
Therefore, there's no point in having an AI

>>14913969
That doesn't make any sense at all. How does it factor into whether or not an AI has a purpose?

>>14913973
Are you dumb? What's the point of replacing players with AIs if it's all about luck? Tell me.

>>14913979
Because AIs possess a much quicker way of calculating the most optimal way to maximize your luck.

>>14913985
Any seasoned player can do that and with 5+10 seconds per player time is not an issue

>>14914013
Humans make mistakes, AIs don't. An AI could do thousands of permutations of the state of everyone else's hands based on visible tiles and discards. It could tell in an instant which tile is the safest while playing defensively, while a human player may get confused or not notice such things because of the way the tiles on the board are organized visually. I could go on and on about the advantages an AI has over a player, but if you're still not convinced, here's one last point.

An AI would be able to know what the fuck their menzen chinitsu is waiting on.

>>14914043
So you agree that an advantage an AI has over a houou or a pro player is, in fact, marginal at best?

>>14914053
So you agree that an AI is superior to a human player, making your original attempt to question the validity of the very same claim look silly?

>>14914067
>superior
Just in a few situations. To quote you, "big deal".

Not much to say about this one. Might have fucked up some hands due to tile efficiency. It was one of those lame games where no one gets big hands (all-last was the largest)

>third 4th place
>wasn't actually allowed to complete a hand
Dunno about this one.

>>14916639
He got unlucky. It happens. I think he should've dropped the 3p instead of the 2m against that haneman though. 3p is safe against the riichi and it's suji for you. Better than a blind guess in 2m.

I don't even know what he's doing in ippan, but I can only assume he clicked the wrong tab or something. As for you, why you dropped the red 5s in south 4 is anyone's guess.

>>14915792
everyone is lesbians

>>14916683
Everything looked pretty dangerous, 2 and 8 sou were safe against everyone and I just rolled with suji, which turned out to be a bad decision.

>>14916435
Nah it was my ISP fucking with me, pretty much all sites hosted in Nippon stopped responding.
Also come on it's 2016 who the fuck downloads porn?

>>14916639
>that disconnect on E2
He would create nice advantage at this point.

Oikake riichi with that shitty wait against oya was so stupid, that I don't even want to talk about it (he had safe pair ffs).

Why he wasn't call riichi on E4? If you want to defend - defend, if you want attack - insta riichi, especially when he did it one turn later.

Pushing dangerous 2m when his hand was fucked also was so fucking stupid - too bad he wasn't drop 5m, it would be well deserved double ron.

tl;dr He probably get that R1930 by luck and will drop very fast.

Harsh. It's just one game, man. For all we know, that disconnect put him on tilt.

>>14916742
Maybe I sounded a little bit too harsh, but his mistakes are undeniable. It's possible that disconnect pissed him a lot and he cannot concentrate on game like usual, but he looks to me more like R1730 than R1930. Been here before (especially that uncertain riichi) and I know that is easy road to downfall.

>>14916692
Dunno man, I think you played this hand a little bit too agressive and game put you in situation without good answer. I know that tanyao with two aka is really delicious, but don't forget that toimen or shimocha tsumo put you on first.

Yea, looking at that. I have to ask. What the fuck was he doing?

If he was trying to set up 678 sanshoku... that would be a retarded idea.

>>14916920
When I think about it a little bit more, it was probably missclick and he wanted to drop 8m, which was very good discard atm.

Sorry, that's still a loss overall. We bow to our AI overlords.

However, a consolation can be nice.

>>14918278
In one game I deal only once - to oikake riichi ippatsu baiman around 14 turn. I called riichi on 4th turn (ryanmen wait).
In moments like this, I just know that game hate me, and break is the only good answer. That's why I played one more game and end 4th one more time.
