trying to get into Ten now and I feel like even though I lucked my way through Akagi with very basic mahjong (what's Ron, what's Pon, what's a Dora, what's Riichi, what's Kan), I don't think it will be enough to enjoy Ten. I read the pastebin link but it's not enough. Is there some youtube link to a proper long guide with actual play to understand better.

Like what is Dora supposed to mean actually?

>Dora do not count towards doubles for a hand to be allowed to win - they do not count as Yaku.

What is this shit supposed to mean? Things like this I am not getting.

Let's say you built your winning hand faster than anyone, a basic hand you just won from Tsumo without any Yaku and you had 1 Dora in your hand (4-5-6 pin with 4pin being the Dora).

What does the Dora do?

And what does it do if you won it from Riichi?

Another thing - in Akagi, whenever he was calling Pon, either they never show it or I didn't see it - but he never really takes the discarded tile by the opponent? Are you supposed to just remember that? Same with Chi
>>
>>15987830
just play and learn the fucking game
>>
>>15987830
There's plenty of comprehensive YouTube videos that can walk you through the basics, but I'll answer some questions:

The most basic way of explaining riichi mahjong is that you need a complete valid hand (usually 4 sets and a pair) and at least one multiplier (aka yaku).

Yaku have values that are counted as "han". The amount of "han" your winning hand has, the higher its point value.

A Dora tile is a bonus tile that adds an extra han to your hand value, but does not count as a yaku. So even if you have four dora tiles in your hand, but no yaku, you cannot win.

When you pon/chi/kan, you take the tile from the player you claimed it from and turn it sideways next to your own exposed tiles. Akagi did not show players taking the tiles, but you always do.

Riichi is a special yaku worth 1han. You can declare riichi if your hand is fully concealed and one tile away from completion (aka tenpai). When you declare riichi, you bet 1000 points (that stick) and lock your hand. You then proceed to draw tiles until you draw your winning tile(s) or someone discards it. If you win, you will also have access to an additional dora located under the normal dora indicator called the ura dora.

It's too much to go over in post form, look up guides and utilize the resources in the pastebin.
>>
>>15987914
An extra bit of important information is that menzen tsumo is a yaku by itself, so as long as you don't open your hand, you will always be able to win on a tile you drew yourself.

Certain yaku are not permitted on open hands, and tsumo is one of them. If you open your hand, even if you draw your winning tile, you will not get a yaku out of it.

So then knowing you have chi'd on 3 times for example 3-4-5 Pin, 1-2-3 Sou and the 4-5-6 Man and what you have in your hand is 6-7-8 Man and a wait on a red dragon to make the pair, then you cannot possibly win, right? What could you knowing your open hand is those 3 Chi?

I learned now after playing for some hours that opening your hand isn't quite the best, but assuming you do decide to go for 3 random Chis like mine, what would you wait for or rather what would you need to be able to call Tsumo/Ron and win?
>>
>>15989790
You're asking an impossible question really, since we don't know the details.

Here's solid beginner advice: learn your yaku. You don't need to know all of them, but there are some bread N butter ones that you should memorize and have a general idea of their worth.

So, to answer your question: you look at your starting lineup and decide what yaku to pursue. Everything else after that depends on game conditions.

I realise this is vague shit, but learning how to build your hand is the first step. Then you can worry about other principles.

You don't sound like you're from the LA area, which is a shame since there's a monthly meetup to learn how to play.
>>
>>15989813
I see. Thanks, will do. I'm from Europe
>>
>>15989790
This might be a bit confusing, but your best strategy in this case would be to maintain your ready status (tenpai) until the round ends. You could get some points from the penalty that occurs when a round ends in a draw. All players that weren't in tenpai will pay a penalty to the players with ready hands.

Mind you, a yaku isn't required in this case. This rule ONLY takes into consideration whether or not you've met the valid hand requirements. So your hand could potentially be worth 3000 (you're the only one in tenpai), 1500 (you and one other), 1000(3 players in tenpai) or 0 (everyone in tenpai)

Of course if someone else wins, you get jack
>>
>>15989790
Those random chii's basically disqualify you from winning in most cases because you have no yaku and even if a tile that would technically complete your hand is dealt/drawn, because you have no yaku, you cannot declare a win. You can still get points at the end of the round for being in Tenpai though, and its a common practice to call on needed tiles towards the end of the round if it seems safe enough to do so even if it would put you in a state of having no yaku.

There are some cases where you can win with that hand, however, and that's basically by getting yaku based on pure luck, like drawing the exact tile you need on the last draw or having the exact tile you need dealt at the last discard. These are both like, sub-1% of ever occurring however, so you should never bank on this kind of stuff unless you know precisely what you're doing and you have no other choice. Even if you did win with that hand despite the odds, unless you have a fuckton of dora in your hand, it's going to be a dirt cheap hand, and generally the point value of the hand is really not worth how difficult it is to attain.

I have to second the above post though, learning your yaku will definitely help in all aspects of the game and also help you decide when/when not to call. Some yaku are pretty notorious for being commonly open, like tanyao and yakuhai, so if you're going for open hands, 90% of the time it's going to be based around those yaku. Others require a closed hand and some are worth more closed, and as a general rule of thumb, most of the time a closed hand (especially riichi'd) is going to be worth more than if it were open.

I'd recommend not calling on tiles unless you know with absolute certainty what yaku you're going for, otherwise, you're going to end up in most cases in a yakuless tenpai with almost no-ability to win, a cheap hand if you do win, and restricted defense because of the amount of tiles in your hand.

Thank you very much, anons. I have skipped for about 7 years now Akagi because I was afraid of the mahjong theme and I remember getting once into it was a pain in the ass. But now that I'm done with it and the anime wasn't difficult at all to grasp, because it's mainly centered at the psychological aspect (discarding advantages, taking a gamble to win crazy hands instead of going for cheap hands being the main theme and what characterizes Akagi, at least partly), I'm very much into reading Ten and past the 10 first chapters I find it quite hard, so I said fuck it - today is the day I will finally do it, even if takes a week to understand.


I will just learn the yakus by heart or the most common ones (some are pretty obvious combinations anyway, like Ten's Chuuren Poutou, even though I doubt it's common)

You literally can't win because all the chuns are visible though, unless you just won off that? A hell wait on a word tile is a good baiting tactic because nobody is going to keep those and the only two waits that can be possible for a word tile with three (incluing the one in your hand) visible tiles is a hell wait or kokushi musou.

>>15994131

East 1

Dealt in to a different hand with a suji tile instead of throwing the safe tile you still had (7-pin) I also assume you realized a turn late that the 8-sou and 8-pin were called from his discards, so they were safe tiles

East 2

You probably should have gotten rid of the west pair when you drew the 3 man. The timing you chose to get rid of them was quite odd.

East 3

If you'd have chi'd the dora, you not only would have had a more valuable hand, but a better wait for tsumo and for ron due to it being safe against the riichi.

3rd South 1

Throwing the 9 pin was unsafe and set your hand back incase you wanted to attack. The 3 pin was a safe tile.

Your offense seemed passable for as much as saw, but your defense was pretty bad.
>>
>>15994131
That guy next to you really went full pon palace.
>>
>>15994131
e1: difficult situation with multiple tenpais. full betaori was certainly the way to go. Discarding 7maan and dealing in could have been avoided had you fully commited to folding, but you pursued a half-assed "I'll try to carefully advance my hand" attitude that got you in that mess. Believe me, I've been there. Your hand value wasn't worth the risk.

e2: you drew 3m giving you 344m which you broke into 34m. since you had a pair of guest winds and another much more useful pair, you should have kept the 4m and broken up your west wind pair. 344m can become a set if you draw 245m (potentially 10 tiles) west only will be useful if you draw another one of the remaining two. you also open the possibility of tanyao.

Discarding 7m instead of 9m was also a mistake. a 9m on its own will only be useful if you draw two more. at least with 7m, you have more options. I understand you might have figured that you'll toss both anyway, so start with the riskier tile, a good idea, but in the early draws of a round, prioritize the tiles that give you the highest chance of becoming full melds.

What? I swear I've seen a replay where someone got a triple yakuman even.
>>
>>15998596
Multiple yakuman stack together, but yakuman are never worth double. Suuankou tanki, 13-sided kokushi, 9-sided chuuren and daisuushii are all worth one yakuman only.
>>
>>15998654
The 9 and 13 sided versions are like their own reward anyway, they're almost undefendable.
>>
>>15998654
I got daisuushi in tenhou once, kind of bullshit that it's worth the same as the small one.

Then again, if you can't get 1st after a yakuman, you were never meant to win

>>15999503
I still have a replay where Corak and I bumped into each other in L0 back when we were still in joukyuu. He secured second place with a kokushi because I had the flow back then. I'll link it when I get home.

>>
>>15994377
Yeah. With riichi it's a guaranteed mangan (tanyao, pinfu, riichi, akadora, dora), if you win on the 3m or get any ura it's haneman. If you don't riichi it might not even be mangan.

It's a good wait regardless.

>>16025360
It's one of the things that really bother me about Mahjong's scoring system, but in that case, getting only 1 ura would double your hand's score.

3 han 20 fu = 2600
4 han 20 fu = 5200

Honestly, fu is just retarded.

3-gatsu puked some next level referencing in that episode.
Remember when the fat kid changed drawing styles? He turned into a Noujou Junichi character. People thought it was a general reference to Gekka no Kishi (his long running shougi manga), but the specific pose he made was clearly Ryuu.
And then at the end of the episode, it turned out that they got Noujou himself to draw the end card.

If the dealer calls riichi, and it's still within the first 5 discards, do you push your hand if you're in tenpai or fold? What if you only have 1 safe tile?

>>
>>16046552
Push probably. Early riichi typically has weak waits or aren't that powerful.

This can certainly blow up in your face, but in general go for it.
>>
>>16046552
Depends on the points and what round it is and how good your hand is, obviously, but being in tenpai already and only having one safe tile are reasons to push.

>>16055883
I used to play nothing but the flash game but playing against people is simply a lot more fun. I also learnt a lot more in my first few tenhou games than I did in dozens against AI.
>>
>>16055883
The first game against other people is always scary, but after that, there's no going back to AI. It's just not as good as playing against human beings.
>>
>>16055883
Another thing for me is that losing to AI felt way more insulting, losing to some dude that's likely to be better than me can even feel nice sometimes when it's a good match.
>>
>>16058524
I hate AI because they can win at any time. What if they randomly set up their hand to be a dealer baiman without manually drawing it because they're in last? What if they shuffle the wall so you deal into their daisangen suuankou tanki after you call riichi? I always half ass playing against AI because they can pull bullshit at any time, there's no point in playing seriously. There's no tension.

I feel like the hottest shit when I have a dama hand and someone else calls riichi, all the while I'm thinking "They'll definitely fold against him and deal in to me in the process".

Only it ends up with people dealing into the riichi anyway. Fucking cunts don't care about dealing in as long as it's not me.

Ok, my question doesn't really concern mahjong at all. But I think there's a good chance of there being some overlap in players, so I'll ask here before making a new thread. Hope you guys don't mind too much.

How should I go about learning Shogi? Online resources are pretty scarce at least when it comes to English information. I know the absolute basics, but I'm interested in learning about openings, general study and such. There's a few videos on Youtube about some openings that vary wildly in quality (sound & general production), most of which seem pretty bad in that front I guess I should just soldier through the bad audio quality and take the information in with open arms. But if you guys have any websites or even books to suggest I'd be extremely delighted.

Thank you, and sorry about invading your thread.

It's all good.
I looked into shogi slightly after being accosted by a guy by a river while playing yakuza5 (also good for mahjong fyi) if you can get your hands on that one, you'll be able to play with an English system. The pieces will still be original however.

I don't know how much information you'll get out of this group sadly, but keep at it. It's an uphill battle to get into Japanese traditional games as a westerner, but if this happy bunch is any indication, it can be done.

You should learn to play Go instead.
>>
>>16079735
Go is just placing circles strategically to fill the board yeah? Seems way easier to learn than Shogi with it's bullshit moves this AI is pulling. Pieces jumping from across the board somehow while I'm just playing it like a game of chess. Won two or three games though so I'm somewhat cool with it.
>>
>>16079771
My expert opinion after playing for a couple of hours is, Shogi is a more aggressive game where there are more options to trap the opposing king (especially with dropping pieces) rather than wear down the opponents forces.
>>
>>16079735
But I already know Go on a pretty good level. I'm still learning Joseki, but my Life & Death knowledge is pretty solid.
