@@sergioalej.9564 No, you need to press square at every turn to check if you can Riichi...

@@PalloneWafer :l ok very well i never see that

can you please explain while this is bad for begginers. I played a decent amount of mahjong im not exactly intermediate at the game yet but im pretty sure i have the basics. Is this just a getting all achivements tip or an actual mahjong tip because I cant see why that is a good strategy in actual mahjong.

Your comment helped a ton. Cheers mate.

Yeah a lot of it is RNG unfortunately

I feel you homie

Story difficulty affects minigames, and winnings earned. At least it does in Kiwami 2. I had to change the difficulty to medium after beating everything else, just to get past the Mahjong sub story. It was like night and day in difficulty lol.

​@chance4585 what about Judgment?

@@Dang_Ol_Username I swear creators have some kind of sadistic fetish, if what u said is true no wonder I gettign fcked in every mahjong game

Yes

Yep.

@@im_GeeOh When you just want to Tiger Drop people but you gotta Ron fools at the Mahjong table to get that platinum...

@@AridaneKunOnline Jesus h Christ thats exactly where I'm at with kiwami... I got everything else in the bag but screw mahjong... I started playing zero cause I just gave up on getting that plat....

@@taylorsimon1927 Trust me, it's not impossible but it can be frustrating the first few times and a bit time consuming but basically focus on making pairs, 3 of the same or series of 123 456 etc, another good hand is 7 pairs. Then always riichi if it's available. And since Kiwami/0 don't show the number like in 6 for a certain suit, have a picture of the tiles on your phone or laptop. Try what I said on easy tables at first and you should get the hang of it. Also, you'll love the Disco minigame in 0 (trust me you'll hate it with passion if you're going for 100%)

Inubito made it for u bby

I'm here for the same reason, but Yakuza Kiwami

@k3nny Whyyyy don't they have a hand helper like they do for Koi Koi?

Came here for Yakuza 5 mahjong. So this is why the other player says "I have a lot of safe tiles" when someone declared riichi! They know they have a lot of tiles the player already discarded.

Same...

After i learnes how to play is quote fun. I've done kiwami and now finished all the mahjong on kiwami 2. I think of it as gwent xd

@@PaulSA Jesus Christ, congratulations man

@@julianarbelaez2928 thanks

@@PaulSA I learned how to play and still hate it, so good for you

As soon as I discard a dragon tile I always seem to draw two more of the same

Uh how does this get a full straight

This comment is so confusingly written.

Isn't he missing a 5?

@@crazezone7798 He would have 6 7 and 8

I saw that too but I guess for brute-forcing your way into the games you won't really care about getting more han from yakus xD

@@pinkberry50 not really. It's easy to understand

Kiwami 2 is actually one of the better experiences for Mahjong in the series lmao

@@ReverendLeRoux yeah this shit is awful on judgment the ai literally gets riichi with 50-60 tiles every 5 games i would enjoy it alot more if the ai wasnt literally unfair

I replayed Yakuza Kiwami 2 11 times just so I cheat every mahjong requirements and platinum the game.

in the however many years since i made this i think i might know a way to explain it easier but i haven't made the video yet. twitter.com/experimilk/status/1670581994470748160?s=20 this twitter post may not be where you're confused at, but it's about how you should read your hand

I'm jealous... I'm stuck with mahjong, shogi, and baccarat... I love yakuza but goddamn

seria legal se Mahjong fosse popular aqui no Brasil, mas com esse tanto de regras os Brasileiros passariam longe do jogo.

So PON is the process of calling a tile when discarded to add to a pair of your own to make a set of 3. You basically treat that tile as your "drawn tile". You expose that part of your hand to everyone, and discard a tile like normal. CHI is when the player TO YOUR LEFT ONLY discards a card that can make a run of three. The process is the same as PON. The reason why it's discouraged is that when you are trying to make your mahjong hand of 4 sequences and a pair, you need at least one yaku, or scoring combination. Many scoring combinations require you not to call chi or pon, so if you do it recklessly you can get stuck, unable to win. So if you want to us PON, try to use it on things like the east wind, or the red, green, or white dragons!

Wdym

it's not a betting game

Yeah, that happened to me too when I was starting out. The reason is that in japanese mahjong a winning hand requires a legality or "yaku" that serves as a kind of score multiplier. "riichi" is one of them.

To win you need to secure two things. 1) Having the three sets and a pair, as you said, and 2) you have to meet a winning condition of one Yaku.. If your hand doesn't qualify for a corresponding Yaku, your hand is worthless even if you successfully formed three sets and a pair. Remember, that you will have significantly less possible Yaku conditions, if you open up your hand (by calling Chi, Pon etc.) It's way smarter to not steal other's discards. Unless you already have two of the same dragon tiles or two of the same seat/prevailing wind tiles, because having three of those is already a Yaku. Then you only have to form the remaining 2 sets and the pair.

Nope. I stopped playing some time ago

my full hand was (3;3 CHARACTER, 4,5 CHARACTER, 3,4,5 BAMBOO, 6,7,8 BAMBOO, 7,8,9 DOTS. And then called Riichi. Can anyone tell me which was the last one i needed? I thouhgt it was 6 Character but nope

If anyone has psn i will send the Screenshot of my hand...

Very strange... When you call Riichi a small window opens showing which tiles you need and how many of them are still available. You could go out with 6 or 2 and you had a "no points hand" as well giving you additional points.

I know this is old, but the reason why you couldn't take those tiles is because you were in Furiten, which is a state in which you are unable to win by calling Ron. Furiten is triggered when the winning tile you need is in YOUR discard pile, thus you are only able to win by Tsumo. For example, you need a 4 or 6 of bamboos to win, but you have a 4-bamboo in your discard pile. You will be unable to Ron AT ALL, even on the 6-bamboo. In order to get rid of the Furiten state, you must change up your hand so that you are no longer waiting on a tile you have already discarded. Of course, this is impossible to do while you have called Riichi, so you will be unable to call Ron until the end of the round. In short, AVOID WAITING ON TILES THAT YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY DISCARDED. If you're still confused, feel free to ask me anything and I will try to answer.

Sometimes the hand starts with trips and sequence at the same time with a mess of honors, that's really bad cos it takes forever to wait for full sequences or it's hit or miss what you discard towards trips In yakuza, apparently in the actual money tables, not ranked, they even just keep holding out not discarding the one you want, i thought ranked was hard at first, but somehow the ai players give you a bit more room to work on and don't spam riichi as much as the Money table ones Sometimes i get small wins when it's draw without any hand, but i and some ais got pongs and kan/kongs

The first lesson is making a hand. Once you're OK at doing that confidently, you then have space in your mental stack for push/fold judgment and defensive play One step at a time 😀

These are 28mm Amos tiles, I think these days they sell them under Amos masters.

Correct

Gwylggi Boss Actually I was wrong. I tried it again after learning a bit more about the game and realized I had misunderstood the sequence. Thanks for your comment.

The only advice that this video can give you that helps you with ranked matches is to not open your hand without an express reason to do so. If you don't know your scoring hands, you might put yourself in a state where it's impossible to win and easier to deal into somebody else's hand

You're going to need a little bit more than this video to be able to match up against real players. In addition to this strategy, you'll need to know situations where you can call tiles. From there you can really start to learn the actual game
