    oh my god you're a lifesaver. Im a Yakuza completionist and I learned the bare basics of Mhjong playing Yakuza 0, and that was enough to help me clear the objectives in all games from there, but i got stuck in 4 because I could not meet the requirement they asked (gain a specific amount of total points in a single game).
    despite knowing the basics sometimes i lost and i didn't entirely understand why was it that NPCs could win when stealing, which led me here to learn exactly when its acceptable to do so
    after learning properly about yaku i managed to do it, that was almost 10 hours of trying just for this 😅

      I DID try to actually play around that low starting point in K2, but you need so much luck and to win several hands in a row to actually make profits and not go into the negatives instantly. I eventually looked up online where the consensus was "simply use the cheat item" and so i did haha.

    For those seeing my comment. These are complicated but theres also a
    1. Most complicated is triple sequence like 123 123 123 or any order of each type of tile as long as they're same sequence different type of tile. The other five can be any sequence, or a triple, with any pair
    2. All ends meaning all are 123s and 789s with a pair of 9s or 1s (doesnt matter what types of tiles)
    Both of these can be open

    Great videos and some helpful beginner advice! Just a bit of language help though, suit isn't pronounced "sweet", but rather it rhymes with "root" and is pronounced exactly the same as the suit that one wears. I think you're confusing "suit" with "suite" which is, for example, is like a hotel room with an adjoining room.

    • @JouzuJuls
      @JouzuJuls  Před rokem +2

      It'll come naturally when you play with better people than you- especially if you are also chatting with them. Fortunately, most of the time in Mahjong, simple is best (quite literally simples). The scoring system in Mahjong is really whack, something like "chanta" is worth the same amount as a Tanyao despite it being significantly harder to get in comparison ¯\(°_o)/¯
      But yea if you ever see an odd one pop out of nowhere from someone else's hand for example, take a note of it and see if you can figure out what it was!

    Tanyao does not necessarily work in all games, something players should be careful of. In Yakuza it's optional and the 3P variation I learned while I lived in Japan was full kuitannashi.

    • @JouzuJuls
      @JouzuJuls  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Standard rules permit open Tanyao. In both Yakuza and Mahjong Soul, tanyao can be toggled open/closed only. If you play at particular parlors in particular places, they may enforce local rules, but those are not the norm.
