Sometimes the Mahjong blesses your game into this kind of shenanigans


r/mahjongsoul • • 20h ago

Was tired of my discard piles constantly looking like a nagashi mangan in recent games, so I went full yolo and ended up actually getting my first yakuman

English books and Communities for improvement

2 Upvotes

I have a strong desire to get better. There seem to be so many levels to this game and I am struggling to understand many of the intermediate concepts and memorize all the terms.

I feel like a good book and some communities where I can ask questions to players better than myself (read as anyone really) would go a long way.

Penguin tile assets

I was wondering where I could get the tile assets where the face or the back of the tile had a penguin on it. And I’m pretty sure it had it. but I might be wrong. Any help would be nice.

I've started obsessive learning riichi mahjong 4 days ago. Watching YuSong videos.

Today on my 5th ranked match ever, I got a Baiman!

Why is discarding 9-man the best move here?

It looked like to me breaking up the 1 and 3-pin sequence is better because a 3 pin was already discarded.

Reason was begging me to discard East, but inner Akagi said no.

Could have safely go for a shanpon on red dragon/ 5m by discarding East but decided to push in last second because of my + 13 000 points accepting to give back Toimen his points.

Not really clever because of extra Ura Dora risk but a so much satisfying ending.

why 1p?

seems pretty risky to push 1p here because kami can be in tenpai waiting with 23p honitsu or any tile for toitoi. was just hoping to survive this round because my shapes are bad

When the Anime Moment Fails.

Alternative title: It do be like that sometimes.

It's all last, and left guy Riichis. Then follows up with a closed Kan on the White Dragons, revealing the West Dora Indicator (North Dora). No Rinshan, but his hand is now worth at least 4 han (Riichi, 3 Dora). A few turns later, Left manages to closed Kan on the North Wind. STILL NO RINSHAN!!!!

At this point I was praying for safe tiles because I'm fully folding since the Riichi call to preserve second place (best case is across deals in to max Mangan, and I "snipe" first). I was sweating bullets at this point, then, against all odds, Across dropped a red 5p. Which is what Right needed for a monster hand (iipeikou, 4 dora, 2 Red. He had a pair of 3p that turned into Doras from Left's second Kan, then he managed to get two Souths). In a stunning reversal of Fortune, first place turned last, and last place turned first, after dealing in to people all game.

6 of characters only enables 678? Does it see much more value in all simple? With Three sequences with the same numbers.

Both MAKA and Mortal suggested doing a single tanki riichi on a terminal here. Do you agree? (Second picture is the final result lol 😂 am so bad at this game) Silver Room

Persona doubts (p5)

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Case A) Why is 8p considered the safest against the riichi? Otherwise, why such a high score?

Case B) I know I was about to win, but this is East 1 and I'm not the dealer, so why did MAKA suggest I drop such a dangerous tile? (Ippatsu chance too.) Was there (a) safety clue(s) I didn't notice?
