When You Want To Fold But The Heavens Give You INCREDIBLE Waits [Mahjong Soul]

Riichi Mahjong is a game of chance, of hope, of plunging your soul into darkness to destroy your opponents...and it's free to play :)
My name is Yusong Liu, and this is a Let's Play series where we try to climb the ranks, have some banter, and chase those elusive Yakuman hands. Currently, we're playing in the Jade Room!

You might have encountered Riichi Mahjong in the Yakuza series, by watching the Akagi or Saki anime, or you might have seen your favorite VTubers from Hololive or Nijisanji playing. The rules are virtually identical whether you're playing in Yakuza, FFXIV, Mahjong Soul, Tenhou, or Riichi City.

The steam version is great because it has the yakuman animations like mobile does! At least when I was playing more towards the end of last year, the browser version didn't have the animations.

The stronger kayne joke was such a slow burn. I was giggling like 5 seconds later

I *love* a scallion pancake, Yu Song

[@beliebigkeit]

You bamboozled me with the abbreviations and I like it

[@TomeTomeTomeTome]

@21:33 Got to pay 6k just for existing. Taxes am I right?

[@bobbuilder6761]

Nothing wrong with locking second in the S4 hand. Maybe if you're feeling it on another day you can push for tsumo or a win off of left lord. A win is better than a loss, though. No shame in that

Yu_song, i turned expert yesterday! Sorry if this sound a bit devious but, i was a bit hoping you would demote to the gold room so I could someday try and snipe you on mahjong soul /s /hs /jk /hjk
Tho im even happier the good luck streak is coming! To the saint tier and beyond! /truehonesty

Scallion pancake is the goat

[@tambok143143]

I will use the steam version just so I can flex to my steam friends that I'm playing the gentleman's game called Riichi Mahjong

[@shinzetsusen7200]

Over $100 to change wiper blades? I'm gonna have to hit you with a "Daga, kotowaru..." (But I refuse) on that.
Yes, that IS a JoJo reference!

[@kissuosts4704]

na, shanpon only gets the fu from completing the triplet so just a bog standard pinfu-like hand. don't even really need to count it, you just don't get good fu values unless you pon or kan terminals/honors. So you weren't going to get an easy win off that with tanyao dora. even if you chose to pon instead of ron to get more fu, it still wouldn't have been enough.
Looking at your discards the last game, something that I missed without typing this comment was the 678 shanshoku possibility for a 3han win. But this is mostly just hindsight talking and I didn't look too hard if it was even really possible.
Edit: Actually yeah. you chi'd the 4s too early and locked into a cheaper+faster possibility

HE WENT RIICHI WITH 7 PAIRS AND WON IPPATSU.. HE IS STARTING TO BELIEVE
Now thats the kind of shit i like to see, good job yung, reject safety embrace horrible waits, thats the true spirit of mahjong, in fact just for added spice you wait on furiten, assert dominance, you need to show them this is your table and you are just allowing them to play with you (i literally had a game like that, most hype comeback i experienced and i barely been playing for month, also posted on reddit because else it didnt happen /s lol)

[@XIXCentury]

Just started playing on Steam release!

[@BASSsic]

There is no Smiths song called There Goes Your Man, but there is a Pixies song called Here Comes Your Man... Am I confused or are you confused

[@mario_bot]

I think by "there goes your man from the smiths" you meant "here comes your man from pixies"? Maybe some mixing between This charming man and that song going on? (Or maybe me not being in on the joke 😢)

[@YusongYT]

oh my god yes absolutely -- sometimes the brain goes haywire 🥴

[@Manni1122]

Scorelords😂

[@YusongYT]

Thank you for the kind Super! ^^

[@mdkapur]

it wouldve hurt more if you got the extra 100 points because he still wouldve won cuz he was dealer first.. u needed 200 more ;(

[@dodrio1000]

Is the standalone same as steam version wih the yakuman animations

[@YusongYT]

I'm pretty positive the PC Client also has the yakuman animations!

[@zennr_]
