Come talk about Riichi Mahjong

I actually got my first Yakuman a couple months ago!
It was in Super Real Mahjong PIV on the Super Famicom. I looked it up later and according to the Japanese wiki I checked, it doesn't alter the odds in favor of the player at all, so as near as I can tell this was totally legitimate.
I was going for this Chinitsu Ryanpeikou. I riichi'd and got the yasume, but the uradora ended up being the yasume, and I got kazoe!

I've been playing mahjong since I think around 2013, fairly casually but I get a little better every year. I've gotten a few yakuman tenpai in that time but this is the first one that actually materialized.
I was super obsessed with the idea of getting a yakuman as I started, but as time went on I've just focused more on winning each individual game. I would have been totally happy with Sanbaiman here because it would have been enough points for me to finish the whole game. Really fun surprise for me to end the game with.

The game itself is really fun, by the way. My favorite on the SNES I've played so far. These little animations you get when you win are just gorgeous.
I've only played this one and PV-FX, but so far my impression of Super Real Mahjong is very positive.
2-player Mahjong is a lot less strategic than 4-player, but that makes it nice for when you just kinda want to chill out and throw some tiles around. Oh, and uh, the fact that you get to win twice as often helps make it more fun too, yeah.

ryanpeikou is pretty rare, congrats

I didn't get it, I got the yasume. If you look closely, you'll see the toitsu is the 2man.
I would have loved to get Ryanpeikou for my first Yakuman, but this ended up being a pretty cool story as well.

I wish I could get a yakuman.

I've been in tenpai for a yakuman twice. Once was 13 orphans and the last tile I needed had already been discarded 4 times. The other time was a suuankou ryanpei machi, but the tile I discarded to declare riichi was the dora tile and I dealt into someone else's haneman.

I'll never back down when a yakuman is on the line, but it fucking blows when you lose your chance. I checked later and nobody had my winning tiles - considering my draw luck that game I feel I would've tsumo'd if that dora tile passed.

The best advice I can give you is to play a lot of Mahjong. A yakuman isn't something you can get consistently with skill. If you play enough, you'll get one eventually, from something like Tenhou if nothing else.
2 and 3-player Mahjong is a particularly good environment for yakumans because you get more draws to build them on average (since there are less players who can win quickly, and less opportunities to call to build fast hands). There are lots and lots of fun 2-player arcade-style mahjong games to choose from, especially if you like watching anime girls take their clothes off.

It feels more like a Mahjong Soul general than just a mahjong one though.

Vermin should be contaminated to /vg/

That takes me back. I recently played the 咲だつもの雀 games and they surprisingly held up. There was even a metajoke in the script because one of the seiyuu voiced a character with the same name. I wish more mahjong doujin game circles remained around, but I get why they would close shop with mahjong being niche. Even Splushwave, one of the more successful mahjong-related circles faces cease and desist by IP holders sometimes.

Does anyone know of some other mahjong terminology web pages? In this one there are many entries missing, e.g. daten and houra kouritsu, and at least one entry is simply wrong, uchite, which roughly translates to player, or style, way of playing, rather than 'Opponent player'.

I do not mind if it is a Japanese website.

I looked around a bit, the most complete in regards to terms seems to be the Japanese Wikipedia page on the topic. The second site may be easier to search for terms at as it includes a hiragana alphabet index.

That feels like a hand out of the Shōwa era, kek.

>>50280997
Has anyone here played any of the recent Splushwave games?
I'm still working my way through Mahjong Connect.

>>50290290
I played the Dragon Mahjong Darkness games and they were great. Some of the gameplay is a timesink but the corruption scenes and mahjong gimmick made up for it.
>Mahjong Connect
There is a non-zero chance that you are playing the version I uploaded back when it came out. It sucks because that's one of the games that received a cease and desist and the game was pulled from everywhere.
