Why is there no official Riichi Mahjong video game /v/?

I'm not talking about those browser-tier games though

I don't know, but I learned the basics of Mahjong just to enjoy Akagi more and it was worth it

What exactly do you want then.

>>718127762 (OP)
Official? Is there some International Chess Federation equivalent for Mahjong whose blessing you're looking for?

I loved Kaiji. Is this show as good? better? gahbage?

>>718128262
>RON RON RON AHAHAHAHA AKAGI YOU FUCKED UP THIS TIME I WIN

>ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT OLD MAN ? LOOK CLOSELY ON THE RIGHT ROW OF CHINESE SIGNS

>AAAAAAAAAAH IT'S CHING CHONG LING PING TILE OH MA GAD

>BBUT YOU CAN ONLY BEAT MY HAND IF YOU HAVE TWELVE PONGYANG LONG FACING THE EAST

>HM HM HM

>I DO

>AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH AKAGIIIIIIIIII

>>718128262
I enjoy Akagi more, but knowing mahjong basics is a must.

>>718128262
Akagi unlike Kaiji is a show where you're never doubting that the protagonist will win, it's just a matter of seeing of how he bullshits a win.

i used to read saki and enjoy the tits
then i learned mahjong
now i'm just confused

I literally learned mahjong so i could fully appreciate FKMTs works

>>718127762 (OP)
aren't there like 90 trillion mahjong games?

none of them have the particularly weeby variation you want to play?

Just play Mahjong Soul

>>718127762 (OP)
Theres tenhou mahjong, i dont know how much official you could be than that

>>718128750
Akagi is a show you can't truly appreciate without understanding at least the basics in mahjong.

>>718128262
>I loved Kaiji
have you read the manga? it just gets better

Why did they kill Fake Akagi so fast? He was the best character

>>718129526
planning on it! don't want to skip first two volumes just because i watched the show, but i don't want to reread what i recently watched either so im waiting a while. i was a little concerned that endless escalation could perhaps become a little silly with the gambles. do you feel that it gets to be like that?

luck based game

>>718129785
Less luck than Poker

>>718129526
>it just gets better
And then it becomes a weird fugitive slice of life without gambling for like 80 chapters

>>718127762 (OP)
huh? there are probably plenty of shovelware mahjong games, maybe go check out whatever garbage the japs shit out for the ps2

>>718129526
Manga is confusing. There are a fuck ton manga with titles like "Kaiji this" "Kaiji that" and I have no idea which is the right one, to continue the story after anime.

>>718129717
it was to show that you cant win against washizu with technique alone. the sand at the bottom of hell is magical sand after all.

>>718129048
for real
I put off reading Akagi for years until I learned mahjong.

>>718129048
I learned mahjong because the tiles looked fun to play with.

>>718131604
>Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji
start here [s1]
>Tobaku Hakairoku
ends at The Bog [s2]
>Tobaku Datenroku
>Tobaku Datenroku: Kazuya-hen
>Tobaku Datenroku: One Poker hen
>Tobaku Datenroku: 24-Oku Dasshutsu hen
after s2

>>718129785
the more games that you play luck becomes less of a factor

having good tile effiency, knowing when to fold, knowing when to risk it, reading the discard pile and not tilting when you are fourth in south are all skills that you can learn and which will make you stand out from other players

>>718132681
Saved. Thanks.

>>718127762 (OP)
How do you have anything "official" for a centuries old game? Do you want to search for a direct lineage of the Chinese guy that invented the game and grant all trademark ownership to one of his descendants?

>>718128364
This needs >zawas in-between all of the lines and it's pretty accurate. You'll also be clapping at the zawas.

mahjong soul is enough

>>718128942
>bullshits
Akagi goes into every battle with a specific strategy and doesn't deviate.

>>718130351
He has to show that gamblers are degenerate pieces of shit with broken brains chasing dopamine highs that are useless at everything else, at the end of the day. Can't heroicize that lifestyle too much.

>>718133445
Uncut Gems is a good movie if you want an accurate depiction of a gambling addict. They can't fold even if they're ahead.

>>718127762 (OP)

It took me several weeks to learn how to not put myself in Furiten.
Fuck terminals.

>>718127762 (OP)
>I'm not talking about those browser-tier games though
why would you need more? mahjong can be played on a 8bit computer

>>718128364
Kino

>>718128364
You also needs spectators breaking each move down for uneducated gaijins like myself

>downloaded Mahjong Soul
>it’s a gacha
AAAAAAAARGH

>>718127762 (OP)
I'm amazed I watched that entire anime and still understand Jack shit about mahjong

>>718128364
>>BBUT YOU CAN ONLY BEAT MY HAND IF YOU HAVE TWELVE PONGYANG LONG FACING THE EAST
>Washizu, you retard. Can't you see there are only three Twelve Ponygyang Longs on the table?
>EHHHHHHHHH?!

>>718134802
skins do not matter

>>718134802
I have literally never touch the gacha and I've been playing the game for years
Its literally useless unless you care about cute anime avatars

>>718134802
>ignore the gacha
>nothing changes
Anon, just play the mahjong. You do not get better hands because of your choice of tiddy on the screen.

>>718134802
You can ignore it, the best character is free anyway.

>>718134932
Yeah she is, going to goon to her later

>>718134802
Just note that you will never leave Silver if you don't spend money.
Other than that you can enjoy the game without touching gacha.

>>718134802
Thankfully gacha in there is just cosmetics. What's even funnier, mandatory free character probably has the best emote game in there.

>>718134891
How do you respond without sounding mad?

>>718135000
>Just note that you will never leave Silver if you don't spend money.
Do you have to spend money to rank up? That's kinda fucked up.

>>718135056
The flow is in their hands, not yours, and they will hold it over you.

>>718135000
Wrong

>>718127762 (OP)
The best mahjong game i played was in yakuza games on the dragon engine (k2 and 6)

>>718135056
No, it's retards who believe in the concept of "flow", but also believe that "flow" can be bought.
These people are stuck in silver because the worship money instead of thanking the tiles.

>>718135332
I see.

>306 chapter Manga
>First 63 cover multiple high stakes underground Yakuza games and introduce an interesting cast of characters
>Next 237 cover one game that takes place during the span of one night
>Remaining 6 are epilogue chapters with a little more Yakuza stuff
I like Akagi, but holy shit I wish the Washizu arc wasn't so fucking long. I would have preferred more of the beginning and end where he's just wandering around finding batshit crazy gambles against different opponents.

>>718135384
Yeah, the pacing got all sorts of fucked. Part of the problem is in his greater Mahjongverse Akagi was hyped up so much and he also teased that Akagi had this epic battle once. Then he ran it over what, like 20 years? It kind of blew out of proportion.

>>718135384
The actual epilogue manga is worth it

>>718135498
I completely forgot that in Ten he commits medically assisted suicide because he has Alzheimers

>>718132446
haha naked wait

STUPID-A FACKIN GAME

>>718134891
This is fake since it should be a double yakuman

>>718128262
>>718128845
I first watched akagi back in like 2006 not knowing any mahjong and I really liked it. Its compelling without knowing a thing really

>>718136035
It's not pure 13 orphans and ronning after the first discard is a local yakuman, tenho/chiho are from winning from the first draw

Rolling Saber felt better than sex

>>718136035
How is that a double? That was not a thirteen-tile wait.

>>718135015
I actually think it's hard to be mad at this. It's the kind of thing you smile and laugh at.

>>718135384
the mahjong magazine that Akagi was published in started dying around the Washizu arc so FKMT kept it milked for as long as possible to keep it afloat

>>718127762 (OP)
there are plenty, they're just jap only
>>718128364
how do you even get 12 pongyang long facing the east? there are only 4 normally

>>718136605
I don't buy it with how often he was releasing chapters.

>>718127762 (OP)
HOST IT, NYAGGER

>>718132446
Absolutely subara

>>718128364
classic akagi, what a masterpiece!

doko?

>>718137581
I only play sanma

>>718134891
something like this almost never happens
ive played 4000+ matches and never have seen this ingame even in 3 player
if this happens to you its a once in a lifetime thing

>>718134891
what le fuck

>>718137642
It's a memorable story for everyone at the table, but especially for the person who dealt in and who got it. The chances of them getting that hand are really fucking low. Now what are the chances of that person also putting out their wait out of their 14 tiles?

>>718127762 (OP)
what is a third season of kaiji? why does every other shit series get 1000 seasons?

>>718137862
just go play pachinko my man

or read the manga

BTW IS IT STILL ON FUCKING BREAK?? I MEAN HOLY SHIT ITS BEEN 1+ YEAR NOW WHAT THE FUCK

What's the washizu mahjong arc of video games?

>>718137943
Chris vs. Wesker is immediately coming to mind, it's not quite on the time scale, it's only 10 or so years instead of 20, nor are there anywhere near as many "oh, Washizu won!" into "actually, Akagi won" and the inverse.

As years have gone by I realize that I less like mahjong and more liked Akagi because it was a period piece
You were playing the game in a time and a place, kind of like being a good ping pong player during the Cold War
Postwar Japan right at the start of the miracle is a fascinating place, just like pre-WW1, post Russo-Japanese War Taisho Japan is fascinating. There is no Disneyland for this time and place, the only way you can visit is through story.

It's funny cause I just finished kaiji for the first time last week. Considering reading the manga but it's long af

>>718138156
>This post was worth 10x its current value in 1980's Japan.

>>718135384
It's thoroughly enjoyable. Utter kino.

>>718138180
S2 is a good ending point. The manga has some points that shows Kaiji has learned a lot. But it also trails off a lot in weird directions.

I left off in the middle of Kazuya's absurd game with all the immigrants.

bump

>>718127762 (OP)
I watched this anime not too long ago, and man did it make me want to learn how to play Mahjong. It seems like a really fun game, with lots of strategy and mind games. I might re-install one of the Yakuza games and sit down at a table and finally learn how to play this game.

>>718134891
>and not tilting when you are fourth in south
hahaha...

>>718134891
I don't get it.

>tfw started playing majong soul right after the fate collab ended
how often does this game get collabs?

>>718141506
guy on the right has a starting hand where he only needs 1 more tile to win its also one of the highest scoring starting hands you can get "Yakuman"
the guy who starts to discard discards the one tile that the guy on the right needs to win
guy on the left deals into a huge af hand right at the start and immediatly loses the game

usually a mahjong game can go 30-40 minutes so it ending so soon is something that almost never happens + getting a starting hand like this is extremly rare aswell

>>718141278
The basic scoring stuff is simple, like making triplets or sequences which are basically straight. It's the more fucky stuff like Honor tiles and some specific hands that are hard to put in the brain.

>>718141536
Twice a year or so. However past collabs never get rerun.

>>718141581
So if you're lucky you'll just win without anyone being able to do anything against it? How is that different from gambling?

>>718127762 (OP)
it's not tanoshii

>>718141738
Anon... mahjong is a gambling game.

>>718141738
>play Texas Hold 'Em
>Ace and King of Hearts are their cards
>flop is Jack, Queen, 10 of Hearts
>wtf why do people even play Texas Hold 'Em

>>718135384
I wish Washizu Mahjong was even longer and I'm not kidding. Too much of it was offscreened.

>>718141738
getting a 13 orphans tenpai starting hand is
1 in 2,464
cant exactly hope for that if you want to become good at the game and rank up

>>718141973
fake akagi hands wrote this

>>718141738
There's a reason every work of mahjong fiction is the characters just blatantly cheating against each other.

hehehe... tsumo

I don't depend on other's discard, you see.

>>718127762 (OP)
Touhou Gensou Mahjong.

>>718134891
I fail to see the problem obviously that was a skill issue on the other players part.

>>718141973
>1 in 2,464
That's not right, way too high.
I think it's instead the number of hands won with 13 orphan on average, not the number of tenpai.

>>718127762 (OP)
here bro

>just sit at the south seat instead of the north to avoid losing in these scenarios

>>718141927
rare instance of anna kournikova actually winning

>>718138565
I understand because it's easily the weakest part of Kaiji but I can highly recommend pushing through so you can get to the kino that is One Poker (and the latest arc has been a lot of fun too)

>>718142685
It was actually the farthest along it was translated while I was still reading it and it's just been that long since I read it. I do agree though, that entire arc was pretty mediocre.

I hate mahjong, but I can't stop

>>718141738
Mahjong is a gambling game, it's not meant for recreation really. Also, getting a hand like that as-is let alone at the start of a match is ridiculously unlikely. I've played at least a combined total of like 100+ hours of mahjong over all the Yakuza games and I've only ever done a Thirteen Orphans once while the AI has done some other Yakuman I can't remember to me once.

It would be like you starting with Exodia two games in a row with it in your starting hand.

>>718138156
Read Tetsuya

>>718144130
>declaring riichi in that situation, with that hand
fucking retarded, you get demolished 99 times out of 100

I was lazy and wanted it to autoplay. I would have just reloaded my save anyway.

>>718144130
>Mahjong is a gambling game, it's not meant for recreation really.
Gambling is a recreational activity

>>718128262
Worse but still good. If you understand mahjong it's probably a lot better.
It has no ending though. After 26 episodes it ends abruptly halfway through the climactic vampire mahjong battle with an aged serial killer who has been steering post-war Japan from the shadows.
