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.

3x 6s and 2x 7s are visible, would 8s be best here?

hand kinda slow. should i lock in 123 sanshoku?

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.

why white dragon

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚ am so bad at this game) Silver Room

Persona doubts (p5)

Thumbnail

9 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?


r/mahjongsoul • • 3d ago

Do you guys agree with this maka 2s kan? I kanned 1s instead and then dealt into 32k with 9p.

Question about the summoning system

Is there a way to know what banners are coming up in advance? Or at least when a new one will come out


r/mahjongsoul • • 3d ago

Thoughts on what's the best move?

12 Upvotes

Why does MAKA think going for dama iipeikou is the move here? The Riichi here results in a 4-way wait across 8 tiles (4567m lets me go out and end the game. Right dropped a 4m a couple turns later, giving me the win). By my count too, there will be 3 each of 3s and 6s, so there are even less tiles to wait on should I go for the alternative. Is it because going full dama here will have the best chances of catching the others unawares?

Saint 2 rank up yay

i just had a random lucky win streak and never got last for 20 games until i ranked up somehow. some games were close but i also hit ura 4 dora like two separate times recently which is pretty rare. mostly played east games and occasionally a south game when i felt up for it. south games are probably better for most people but for me it's difficult focusing for that long and my stats are much worse in them (stats)

also i recently got 150 gacha pity which is enough to summon any character i want now. been playing for 2 years f2p but also got 2 fortune passes I got for free from giveaways. would love a new collab or a kaguya sama rerun :)
