Best advice while I was learning mahjong was NOT to call anything. Do not pon, chi & kan until you actually know what you are doing. After that I got hooked on playing mahjong
@@leonardosa_a banging, well done, hanemon can be tricky to get but keep at it, thinks it's over 12k points or something on one hand but yeah if you avoid chi and pon hopefully it will come with time
@@unsungdog ah crash 2 was a great game back in the day, some tricky bits for the plat on those games, oh nice, kiwami 1 is fun, kiwami 2 not so much but you might enjoy it, the story in all of them is fantastic though
ok think i finally figured it out. you need to get 3 that are the same tile or in sequential order(123), 4 times. with as little stealing as possible. plus two that are the same. just play a few games as stated and watch how the ai win. you’ll save time. this is just for the 10mil ofc so if you steal more it’ll just take longer
Sorry I must have missed your comment, but yes that is pretty much Mahjong summed up, there are lots of ways to win and score higher but it is easier to just do that, and get lucky on the other ones for high score and full straight etc, and yes no stealing helps a lot, cheers for the comment, and good luck with the plat
can happen dude, unfortunately it is RNG so maybe go off to another minigame or substory etc and then come back, hopefully that will reset the RNG, and maybe try the medium table, sometimes the easy table is harder for some unknown reason, but yeah make sure that each set is made of the same tile style, like all dots, can't cross mix them, you will get there I'm sure, just keep at it!
finished the achievements today lol. crazy how i was stressing so hard at first and now a few days later its done and i actually love mahjong. thx 4 the tutorial.
@@scotty420 glad to hear it and congratulations on getting it done, everything in the game is just about perseverance, if you give it enough time and practice you can always pull through! Thanks for the comment and best of luck with any further Yakuza journeys!
@@BoxedFelicia just keep trying to get 4 x 3 tiles consisting of either 1,2,3 or triplets and 1x double, it does take up a lot of time but don't get disheartened with it
Dunno if you figured it out yet but the middle tiles determine the dora and the ura-dora. Not the tiles themselves but the next tile in the sequence is the dora so at one point the middle tile is a 6 bamboo and the dora is determined as 7 bamboo if that makes sense. Can't remember how far away the ura-dora is.
Not gonna lie I don't even know what a Dora or an Ura-Dora is XD so if the middle tile is a 6 and you do a 7,8,9 you get more points? But yeah I can get through mahjong thankfully without knowing anything about it, appreciate the comment dude, keep up the knowledge sharing and best of luck with the rest of the plat!
@@ragnarhenchbrok A dora is like another red tile, you just get more points with it. Having a 789 would get you one dora but if you have a 777 you'd get 3 doras so that would add to the points. I did look up what an ura-dora is and normally those five tiles in the middle are actually 10 tiles (5 underneath) and if you win on a riichi you get the tile underneath as a dora as well. I've actually platted 0-3 so far but I just love mahjong quite a bit even if there are some things I still don't get. Was just curious to hear someone else talk about mahjong. Thanks for the video all the same!
@@FoxForever90 there is plenty more mahjong to be had aha but thanks for the explanation, always good to see someone passionate about something, keep at it and best of luck if you go further on the plats, 4 is a banger, 5 is long but decent and 6 is surprisingly short but always great stories in these games!
@@FoxForever90So im currently getting my ass handed in a mahjong sub story in kiwami 2, just to clearify if the tile in the middle is a bamboo 6 as you say then that means the dora is the bamboo 7? so its always 1 number above the tile that is in the middle no matter the number or tile is. And getting tripple bamboo's gives extra points but doing bamboo 7,8,9 is also good enough for a dora yes?
@@Bushido1389 yes, triple 7 would be 3 doras and 789 would be one. It's always what's next in sequence. Also good luck on that. I think with the one in K2 (I'm assuming the sub story on the same street as Serena) I used one of the cheat tiles that guarantees a win since it's such a difficult one to beat (that guy is super tough)
@@mari-posa3265 yeah it is a pain sometimes, but glad you worked it out, one of the settings takes away the two han minimum or something like that, I'm sure you will smash it from here, best of luck with the rest of the plat!
Just finished Haruka's requests in Kiwami and now attempting to get the mahjong achievements done.. Wasn't planning to 100% any yakuza games cause of shit like this but I put in too much damn effort for Haruka not to see the other easy challenges completed (excluding mahjong).
nicely done dude! and yeah once you open the rabbit hole there is no going back for the 100%I'm sure you will get it done though, mahjong takes some time to learn the basics, but once you start winning, then it becomes rng for getting like mangan and haneman, cyricz does great guides if you ever need any written guidance, happy to answer things where I can but I'm not particularly good at Mahjong unfortuantely, thanks for the comment!
@@RowdyRego heyoo Rowdy how's it going? Aha I appreciate you commenting over here, how's Yakuza 0 treating you? It's a bit of a slog for the plat but I'm sure you will nail it, happy to answer any questions where I can, cyricz written guide on game faqs is unreal for these games, cheers buddy hopefully will catch a stream when I can!
God you've helped me through a shit ton of minigames but i have a question for mahjong, how do you see the number in English that's purple in your video?
Glad some of the videos help! It only appears that way on console I believe, if you are playing pc or steam it doesnt have it on, you would need to have a guide open with those numbers on whilst you play if it isnt showing up to make it easier for you, best of luck with the plat and thanks for the comment!
@@ragnarhenchbrok thanks, and i'm 76% in the completion list and now in chapter 13. And honestly batting was very hard but catfight club wasn't nearly as bad as people say, dare i say it was kinda easy. But mahjong is somehow even harder then batting and i feel like i'll take a while to complete it so i decided to finish the story first and leave mahjong as the final thing in the completion list, and my god for now i'm in chapter 13 with 80 hours in the game it was a lot of fun and i am loving it, right now i want to complete the story. And back to the point this game was so good and so addicting this game made me smile all the way through besides some minigames lol
@@ragnarhenchbrok and your the best dude for helping me out on some minigames I probably would've quitted if it wasn't for you, I can't believe I didn't subscribe to you until now😭
@@megacatlive I agree batting was difficult, and yeah cat fight is pure rng so its good you had a good time with it, I've done the plat 2 or 3 times and 1 time it was easy and the other times was a pain. Mahjong is tricky because you have to learn a lot and you need rng as well to help along the way, it takes time but you will smash it i'm sure, and absolutely, take a break and do other things if it is getting frustrating on the Mahjong, makes it more bearable, yeah the story in these games are phenomenal, the platinums are tedious but there are some fun parts for sure!
@@megacatlive aha its all good, thank you for the comments they are very much appreciated, these games just take some perseverance, you will learn by playing and even if it seems impossible at the start, if you observe and practice you can get through it! glad you are enjoying the game, keep up the hard work!
I don’t know if I doubled my comment but just to be sure i need help because I can’t get a riichi ippatsu. The strange part is that when I called riichi once the top corner said I needed a stick 1 or a stick 4 but when the next opponent drops a stick 4 I can’t call ron and the game goes on until someone else wins or it is a draw. Is this because I discarded a stick 4 or that tour hand needs something special? I hope someone can help me here
@@basplasqui6914 riichi basically means you need 1 tile to win, ippatsu means within the round so basically you need to win after calling riichi within the round (ie within the next few people's turns) it doesn't matter what you discarded you just have to win within the next full turn, so if it gets back to you then it won't count as ippatsu, it's all rng at that point so don't worry but can understand your frustration, thanks for the comment!
I am in limbo trying to figure out what the fuck I’m doing wrong I would deadass have like the best setup and still lose bruh my brain is incapable of processing it
sorry for the delay in response been on holiday, it is a difficult game to get your head around, hopefully you have managed it whilst I was away but if not let me know and I'll try to advise as best as I can, thanks for the comment
@@anthonygutierrez1533 it only appears on certain versions of the game so if it doesn't show up then check the settings, if it doesn't have them in the settings then you will have to use a tile guide on Google to know which tile is which, best of luck with this and thanks for the comment!
Hi it's me again, lol. I have completed Majong and I'm really decent at it now, but I discovered a major bug with Riichi Ippatsu! You can get a Riichi Ippatsu win with calling "Ron", but the submission won't count it! The only way to get a Riichi Ippatsu win to count is to call "Tsumo" then it pops! I even have PS photos to prove it's a bug, because I was taking photos to review my winning hands, lol. So yeah I hope this piece of info helps everyone! ; D
that seems insane, not sure how I did it back in the day but congrats on doing it anyway, if that is true its very strange, but thanks for the information, good luck with the rest of the plat!
@@ragnarhenchbrok Well I had a look at other guides on just how to get Riichi Ippatsu and others don't understand why a Ron won't work - guides say it should (It even said Riichi and Ippatsu on the winning board screen at the end of my round), but each and every guide showing it unlocking is only with a Tsumo. So it has to be a bug, but for most playing wouldn't even realize it. Idk if I should or can report it to sega... it's been out for some years now. I hate bugs so much, but when they make you feel dumb when you're actually doing the right thing... it's very annoying. I just hope someone reads this in the future and knows it's not their fault if Ron doesn't work. Anyway, thank you I need all the luck I can get, lol. ; D
The basic idea is to get 4 sets of 3 tiles and 1 set of 2 tiles, a set would be a straight or a 3 of a kind, similar to poker. So focus on firstly not using pon or chi, secondly just try to make a hand of for example 1,2,3. 5,5,5. 5,6,7. 7,8,9. And then 2,2. That is an example of a standard winning hand. It can be any combination of numbers as long as it is a straight or same number. There are other tiles as well that are D for dragon, E for east, S for south etc they are used as 3 of a kind or can be the double. Press square every round as you might have a hand without knowing it, if you are 1 tile away, riichi will pop up and the game will auto play until win or the last tile is drawn. Focus on the basics first and then check out winning hands etc best of luck to you and it takes time to learn so don't be too hard on yourself, just keep trying.
If you call Riichi the game automatically plays until you win / draw or someone else wins, it basically means there is one tile left for your winning hand, with regards to the tile you put down go for the one that there is least of left on the board - for example if you had a 5 and a 9 that could win you the game and there is only 1 9 left on the board then go with the 5, it depends really because if someone puts down the 9 in the first place they don't need the tile as they discarded it - but the hands can change so its really a guessing game, thanks for the comment!
Basically you need 3 tiles of the same class, in either a straight 1,2,3 or a triple 333, and then you need 4 of those hands and then a double. Dragon or directional ones you would need a triple, the in depth rules are tricky but that is the basics, you can make full straights with the tiles or flushes etc similar to poker in the overall 14 tile hand, it is very rng heavy but hopefully you will get some luck with it!
Press square every round! Where in the hell did it promt to do that? My gf can play majiang, perhaps a different version to this, but she kept asking why we weren't able to declare this. Why we needed one more tile only but never had the chance to say so.
It doesn't tell you to as far as I am aware which is a bit harsh especially for new players, but yeah square on ps controller would let you know if you need one more tile or not, if you only need 1 more tile to win riichi would show up and then the game auto plays to either a tsumo, ron or draw or someone else win, you don't have to call riichi though if you want a fully concealed hand, hope that helps, thanks for the comment
@@ragnarhenchbrok It's just odd. We looked through the rules for which button to press to do exactly that. It's strange because chi and pon appear without any button pressing.
It will get easier the more you play, I think of it as similar to poker, just with a bigger hand to make, will try to advise where I can but I am not very good at mahjong, I just know how to get by with it! Thanks for the comment and best of luck to you
Aha yeah it is a bit of a pain RNG wise, but once you know the basics it gets easier, you will smash it I'm sure, takes a lot of patience with these games due to all the RNG moments, good luck
It depends on the version you are playing unfortunately, some dont have numbers on and some do, however I would use cyricz guide on Mahjong hands to make it slightly easier
For Bamboo (green) and Dots (Black), it's the number of sticks/dots there are. For the Japanese tiles (it may be tricky, but): one line is 1, two lines is 2, three lines is 3, the rectangle is 4, the "e" shaped one is 5, the star shape is 6, the "X" shape is 7, the "Roof" is 8 and the "Hook" shape is 9
it's not as bad as people make it out to be but it is very RNG heavy, so hopefully you will get lucky with it, thanks for the comment and best of luck with the plat!
So when i get a Richi how do i determine whats the better piece to discard is it the ones that have a 4 next to them in the upper right corner or a 3,2,1?
Hi, so the higher the number in the upper right the better, that indicates how many of that tile are left to play so more chance of winning if that makes sense, good luck dude
I completed riichi ippatsu and full straight but I’m stuck on haneman been trying to go for seven pairs or a full flush to get more Han but it’s so rng
congrats on getting full straight, must have been close to getting haneman with that, riichi ippatsu definitely helps, getting directional or dragon tiles should help too but yeah its pure rng if you are the same as me and don't understand some of the rules for dora, hopefully you get it soon and best of luck to you! thanks for the comment
@@Bacon-vm1rr if you are now winning games, then I would suggest looking up different styles of hands, like full straight or flush or various other ones, you will get them eventually if you keep winning it's just winning with a good score, don't use chi or pon and try to get directional or dragon tile triplets as that can help, I'm not an expert sadly so I don't know the rules but I'm sure you will get them if you keep playing
@@ragnarhenchbrok yeah, I’ve came a little far since I last commented like a week ago, and let’s hope so, and a full straight is another thing I need to get and I don’t use chi, pon, kan or anything
@@Bacon-vm1rr I think they do have their purpose but I don't know what it is without it having an affect on Dora so yeah it's gonna be an rng thing for you but knowing how to win is the main thing, it's just a matter of time before you get what you need
Good question I don't actually know much about the rules of mahjong, however, I saw the game was coming to a close and the closer you are to a finishing hand I think you get consolation points if it isn't tsumo, might have just been drunk, but in general do not use cho or pon because it lowers your score, like if you steal a tile you lose dora I think, the best way is to try and formulate a hand from what you pick up naturally
@@markarov4002 aha I'll always reply I want to help people get through it as easy as possible but I dont know too much about mahjong sadly but yeah if you have specific questions I will try my best to answer
It's basically 14 tile poker if that helps, just aim for 4 hands of 3 tiles and a double, always press square each round in case you are 1 tile away from winning, it is overwhelming as a beginner but it gets easier with time
@@georgem2768 maybe try a different tactic, what are you trying to do with regards to the mahjong? Like which bits are you needing to complete on the list?
@@ragnarhenchbrok Hey man I managed go out 10 times, earn 10 million yen and get a Riichi Ippatsu, but I’m struggling to get a Full Straight, 5 Mangans and 1 Haneman.
@@georgem2768 Congrats on the parts you have done already, full straight just got to aim for that from the start and it will happen eventually, might be worth stealing tiles to get the ones you want on that, full straight is 1-9 and then a triple and a double, mangans and hanemans will come naturally, not stealing tiles helps you get a better total score I think, so play each game not stealing and hopefully you get lucky
So it's just full RNG? AI are throwing riichi turn 2/3 sometimes and me haven't even had been close to it, always stuck at 2 tiles needed and never pull what I need even though I have options opened between 2 tiles for each sets sometimes. It's never going to be something enjoyable I think.
A lot of it is RNG, I would go off and do different things and then come back and see if your luck changes, also try different tables, also on settings put on 2 Dora minimum if you haven't already, usually slows them down from getting riichi as fast, hope your luck changes, you will get it eventually I'm sure of it!
@@ragnarhenchbrok thx for the advice, I'll get it eventually but I'm pretty sure I'll never enjoy it, some of the mini games are the only reason I hate Yakuza sometimes. That's why I always drop and come back to those, love the games in general, but hate those mini games.
@@MrOrzeker oh absolutely the minigames are rough in most of the yakuza's, if you dont like them it makes the plat even harder, can definitely sympathize with that, and yeah the games are brilliant, the plats are not so brilliant XD Fair play to you for trying as well most would have just binned it off immediately!
I think the numbers are only on certain versions of the game, if they do not appear on yours, I would use your phone or a separate device and have the cards in order on there so it is not as difficult to memorise, best of luck to you and thanks for the comment!
Yo, still alive? Have some questions, don't know if you will answer, first of all, ty for your guides, saw few to get some help, but, how’d you get the numbers on ur tiles?
Hi, thanks for watching and the comment, much appreciated, I believe it depends on which device you are playing on, if it doesn't have the tile numbers on then I would suggest having a mahjong guide up whilst you play showing you the tiles, hopefully that helps
@@ragnarhenchbrok Wow, so fast you answer, and i'm playing from steam, and i'm following your video like before guides and see if I can make it, tysm for your reply
@@Enzeru_kyuuni no worries, I am still active just working a lot so not got much time for it at the moment, hoping to cover the ones coming out next year though, and if you have any questions happy to try to help, CyricZ does a great guide on Game FAQs, and yeah the steam version sadly doesn't have the numbers on Mahjong, no setting to change it, might be a mod out there though somewhere
Classic, yeah you will lose a lot of the time, it's a tricky game to learn, but if you keep playing you will pick it up, just takes time and effort, hopefully you can power through it! Thanks for the comment!
Apparently they don't show up on steam version or might be pc in general but I'd recommend using a guide like CyricZ as they show the tiles so you should be able to use that and eventually get used to what is what, best of luck with your plat!
@@coolman229 yeah it's a long learning curve with mahjong, but keep with it and you will learn more each day and then will be able to win and from there it just becomes rng with getting enough points for the challenges on the completion, thanks for the comment!
It is pure RNG, the aim is to get 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, of 1 suit ( so like all dots or all green or the other one) then you can have a random 3 tiles and then a random double, hope that helps, it is pretty rough but if you just keep aiming towards the straight only, it will happen at some point
Honestly I have never really looked at the hands, so it was pretty much RNG for me, but I would assume a full straight is a good hand and always try to make use of the dragon or north east south west tiles if possible, I believe there is a hands guide on cyricZ guide in the description but if not I'm sure there are some guides on decent hands, best of luck to you on this!
Best way to get an haneman is to stack Dora tile and do a riichi and hope to get a reverse Dora. Or if you're really lucky you can try to get all the tiles from the same family (without honors tiles) with one dora
@@bepho5153 ah yes I always have that on so probably forgot to mention it if it's not in the vid, I only do 1 take with no script on all vids so bound to miss a lot of things, good advice though on the red tiles
Hey, I hadn't heard that it didn't have numbers on some versions, which version do you have/which console, they might have taken bits out, think you can get a mod if it is the steam version, I would personally just print out a picture of them so you can see them as you play or have it on your computer etc
@@ragnarhenchbrok damn ok i have the ps4 version (ps4 pro) but ye ill just learn the numbers,btw thank you for all the guides,i followed your yakuza 3 guides and got the platinum!! Keep up the videos my man!
@@SITORESGREECE oh I thought that would have them, sucks that it doesn't but thanks for watching it is greatly appreciated, glad at least some of them could help
Some versions of the game don't have numbers on the kanji style tiles, get a guide up with the numbers on as you play and it will make it a lot easier but having said that, it is a complex game so best of luck with it and thank you for the comment
aha yeah it feels like that at the beginning but it gets easier, I had no idea what was happening and still don't for the most part, but stick at it, quite a few comments below detail some beginner tips if you want to check those out, best of luck with the plat dude!
I don't understand how i'll get a richi, but still end up losing to "ron". Been at this game all day and have only managed to win 1 round. I honestly don't think the platinum trophy is worth the stress :/
Aha it's definitely not worth the stress compared to other games, however, if you got to riichi it means you are one tile away from winning so you know how to win, Ron just means you steal the winning tile, so if you or someone else steals the winning tile you call Ron, you were just unlucky and I'm sure you can do it, takes some luck, and good luck
It can happen, RNG differs and on different table difficulties it varies, also changing the rules to 2 Han or Dora(can't remember which) minimum can stop the easy table being as quick to finish, hopefully the rng goes in your favour, if not I would go off and do some other minigames and come back to it and hopefully rng resets
@@ragnarhenchbrok I got the full straight last night, i cried in joy. never was intending to learn mahjong, but i now i kind of love it and hate it at the same time lol my advice to those that are having a hard time with that one is, first make sure you finish the other sets, and steal when there are straights that you need ex: 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9. i stole 3 times in those exact sequences to get mine, and when performed correctly you will get a ron victory.
@@Kamsae that could be good advice aha but I am not an expert to know if it is or not, appreciate the comment, and congratulations on getting the full straight! glad that you persevered with it and best of luck with the rest of the game!
Yeah it is rng really, I think there is a hands guide on the game but if not there will definitely be one online but it's so difficult to try to formulate a hand that I just went for RNG, hope your luck changes, thanks for the comment
@@sjjdfiwnz Haha yeah mahjong is in pretty much all of them and is usually a time consuming pain, but once it clicks you will get better at it as the games go on, the later ones have less mahjong requirements if I remember correctly, best of luck with the plats, I'm sure you will be fine with them
So I have found is if I created to many sets and I have one tile left I seem to be F'd... even if the next tile is the same (like a double). So I shouldn't create to many sets at the side, because Idk how to win with one tile a waiting placement? Is it possible?
hey, yeah you can win with 1 tile remaining, did you use pon or chi? I assume you mean that with the sets at the side, the idea is to not do that because you lose points for stealing tiles, so it becomes a lot harder each time you use pon or chi, Im not an expert but only use that if you are aiming for a full straight or something like that, it can be tricky not to steal but the rng should come round for you at some point, hopefully that helps
@@ragnarhenchbrok Honestly... stealing has really helped me to win out of the blue for not understanding much, lol! I just need 2 Megans and a Richie win and I managed to do everything else. I didn't know stealing loses points (Gained me tons of cash, lol). Anyway, I did mean the sets at the side... although I have started to create better hands since an hour ago - so I was before hand ending up with a single tile. However, if I did create sets and the game ends in a draw I get a fair amount of points rather than losing any. Btw can I only get a Richie by not stealing and concealing my hand? Seem harder than anything else so far to pull off... even altough the Ai does it with ease. Edit: Also I don't even know the differnce between pon or chi - I just thought they take a piece I need from another player either way. I just know if I see Ron I will win. ; D
@@WarriorOfTheHeavens I recommend not stealing tiles because you will get more points leading to mangan or haneman, which are the high point scoring ones, impressive that you did the other stuff congratulations, so click square every round aha you might have riichi without knowing, riichi just means you need 1 tile to win, what are you going for? sounds like you have lucked through a lot of it which is great but yeah what specifically do you need to get?
@@ragnarhenchbrok What I have left is: Go out with Riichi Ippatsu, Go out with Mangan 5 times (I have gone out with Mangan 3 times so I just need two more). I have done 4/6 Majong tasks. Sorry if my comments are confusing.
@@WarriorOfTheHeavens no worries so riichi ippatsu means once you call riichi, before the turn gets back to you you need to win which is pretty much Rng, but you can win with a ron or a Tsumo, so keep trying to get riichi and it will happen, the mangan will come with just playing but lack of stealing will help, the rng factor and stuff takes a long time sometimes so dont be disheartened all the 100% are similar in one way or another but you got this if you want it
I see the bamboo and i see that theres more bamboo than others does that mean that the one with 2 bamboo sticks mean 2? And the one with 4 bamboo sticks means 4?
Not sure which one the bamboo is but yes that would be correct I think, if they don't have numbers on if recommend having a separate device with the tiles guide that shows you which ones you have, best of luck to you with it
Yes if you press square if you are lucky it might pop up with riichi which means you are 1 tile from a winning hand, sometimes you won't notice so I just press it every round when it is your turn and hope for the best
Can you add me and we can shareplay I can't for the life of me get wins I know how to play but I feel like I always end up shooting myself in the foot midgame by switching something I need help it's hard to get a win I'm about to throw my ps4 in the trash bc of this stupidly dumb hard game rng based
Hi I unfortunately don't have time currently for that with work life and other things going on, not been able to stream or make videos for a while either, Keep trying, if you get the basics you will win eventually, just a matter of perseverance, I lost a lottt when starting out, took a while to get a grasp on it but eventually it will sink in and RNG will be on your side, you do need to learn it for the other games too if you were planning on platinuming them, keep at it, you probably aren't as far off as you think you are
@@nwodgnillafyug thanks for the comment, are you able to win a game to start off with? From there you will find it easier but a lot of it is RNG, doesn't just happen immediately usually, took me an absolute age to get some of the completion points for it, best of luck to you though thanks
Hey, nope not too dumb at all, takes time to understand this game, there is a lot to take in at the start, just keep watching guides and reading about it and should be fine, the very basics are getting 4 sets of 3 tiles (3 tiles can be all the same number like a triple in poker or 1,2,3 like a straight in poker) and then 1 set of 2 tiles (a pair in poker) - aim for that to start with and don't steal the tiles with pon and chi. It will slowly make sense after some time if you watch the hands, hope that helps a little
@@kutayctak3983 no problem happy to help where I can, it will take time as well as rng, always remember to press square every turn, if you see Riichi it means you are 1 tile away from a completed hand and the game will play automatically until you win lose or draw, good luck with the rest of the plat too
@@ragnarhenchbrok so you say that i shouldn't take other players' tiles. i should make the 1 pair and 4x3 tile hand with what game gives to me. is that right?
@@kutayctak3983 Correct because when you steal the tile with Pon and Chi your score goes down, and sometimes it is impossible to win if you steal too much and the hand isn't good enough, so it is safer to not steal at all, you can make an exception if you were looking at like a full straight or one of the special hands
Hi, Mangan is like a high score, I think haneman is the highest, so basically you get Dora at the end of the match when you win, if you don't use pon or chi, the Dora should be higher, if you get like a full straight or flushes or other decent hands, generally you will get Mangan or Haneman, I would take a look at cyricz written guide - link in the description he will explain it better in there for sure, good luck with the mahjong
@@SensualityMajestic187 a lot of people think it is impossible but you did it so congratulations, and a full straight I would advise every move goes towards a full straight, you can steal tiles to make it work for that one, takes some rng though, comes with time but you know what you are doing now which helps a ton, good luck with it
@@ragnarhenchbrok yesterday I did it. Fortunately it was pretty easy with dora. One of the moment I have some hand with ippatsu(lucky get tsumo) and dora(6han) = 9han(baiman?)but now I can’t run baseball part =_=
@@Максим-я4э8в Congratulations mahjong isnt easy so you did well. it is rng for a lot of it, baseball is tricky, just need to practice the timing until you get it, write down the speeds of the balls as they are pretty similar to help with your reactions, also for the very hard ones where the pointer disappears, put a dot on your screen or a little bit of sticky paper that way you can keep the accuracy
Best advice while I was learning mahjong was NOT to call anything. Do not pon, chi & kan until you actually know what you are doing.
After that I got hooked on playing mahjong
100% still don't know what im doing but solid advice
Nothing more frustrating than call a Riichi and never see the damm piece

@@ragnarhenchbrok I just got 100% yesterday tysm ❤
@@BabySheamusVault congratulations on the 100% well played!
ok think i finally figured it out. you need to get 3 that are the same tile or in sequential order(123), 4 times. with as little stealing as possible. plus two that are the same. just play a few games as stated and watch how the ai win. you’ll save time. this is just for the 10mil ofc so if you steal more it’ll just take longer
Sorry I must have missed your comment, but yes that is pretty much Mahjong summed up, there are lots of ways to win and score higher but it is easier to just do that, and get lucky on the other ones for high score and full straight etc, and yes no stealing helps a lot, cheers for the comment, and good luck with the plat
Been playing for about 3 hours now trying to get 4 sets and haven’t even gotten a single Riichi yet on beginner
can happen dude, unfortunately it is RNG so maybe go off to another minigame or substory etc and then come back, hopefully that will reset the RNG, and maybe try the medium table, sometimes the easy table is harder for some unknown reason, but yeah make sure that each set is made of the same tile style, like all dots, can't cross mix them, you will get there I'm sure, just keep at it!
finished the achievements today lol. crazy how i was stressing so hard at first and now a few days later its done and i actually love mahjong. thx 4 the tutorial.

@@BoxedFelicia takes time and luck, keep at it, take a break if needed and come back to it occasionally, which thing are you specifically going for?
@@ragnarhenchbrok at the moment I'm just trying to win before going for anything I don't have to be honest
@@BoxedFelicia just keep trying to get 4 x 3 tiles consisting of either 1,2,3 or triplets and 1x double, it does take up a lot of time but don't get disheartened with it
Dunno if you figured it out yet but the middle tiles determine the dora and the ura-dora. Not the tiles themselves but the next tile in the sequence is the dora so at one point the middle tile is a 6 bamboo and the dora is determined as 7 bamboo if that makes sense. Can't remember how far away the ura-dora is.
Not gonna lie I don't even know what a Dora or an Ura-Dora is XD so if the middle tile is a 6 and you do a 7,8,9 you get more points? But yeah I can get through mahjong thankfully without knowing anything about it, appreciate the comment dude, keep up the knowledge sharing and best of luck with the rest of the plat!
@@ragnarhenchbrok A dora is like another red tile, you just get more points with it. Having a 789 would get you one dora but if you have a 777 you'd get 3 doras so that would add to the points. I did look up what an ura-dora is and normally those five tiles in the middle are actually 10 tiles (5 underneath) and if you win on a riichi you get the tile underneath as a dora as well.
I've actually platted 0-3 so far but I just love mahjong quite a bit even if there are some things I still don't get. Was just curious to hear someone else talk about mahjong. Thanks for the video all the same!
@@FoxForever90 there is plenty more mahjong to be had aha but thanks for the explanation, always good to see someone passionate about something, keep at it and best of luck if you go further on the plats, 4 is a banger, 5 is long but decent and 6 is surprisingly short but always great stories in these games!
@@FoxForever90So im currently getting my ass handed in a mahjong sub story in kiwami 2, just to clearify if the tile in the middle is a bamboo 6 as you say then that means the dora is the bamboo 7? so its always 1 number above the tile that is in the middle no matter the number or tile is. And getting tripple bamboo's gives extra points but doing bamboo 7,8,9 is also good enough for a dora yes?
@@Bushido1389 yes, triple 7 would be 3 doras and 789 would be one. It's always what's next in sequence.
Also good luck on that. I think with the one in K2 (I'm assuming the sub story on the same street as Serena) I used one of the cheat tiles that guarantees a win since it's such a difficult one to beat (that guy is super tough)
Even if im one tile from winning, riichi never appears and im not stealing ( i also use your advice about press the square, nothing happens)
In the settings what settings do you have active? It might be that your hand is not making enough points if you have a certain setting on
@ragnarhenchbrok I didn't know that you have to make enough points to have riichi
And I figured it out what you have to do to make these points😄
@@mari-posa3265 yeah it is a pain sometimes, but glad you worked it out, one of the settings takes away the two han minimum or something like that, I'm sure you will smash it from here, best of luck with the rest of the plat!

good advice there for probabilities thanks
Just finished Haruka's requests in Kiwami and now attempting to get the mahjong achievements done.. Wasn't planning to 100% any yakuza games cause of shit like this but I put in too much damn effort for Haruka not to see the other easy challenges completed (excluding mahjong).
nicely done dude! and yeah once you open the rabbit hole there is no going back for the 100%I'm sure you will get it done though, mahjong takes some time to learn the basics, but once you start winning, then it becomes rng for getting like mangan and haneman, cyricz does great guides if you ever need any written guidance, happy to answer things where I can but I'm not particularly good at Mahjong unfortuantely, thanks for the comment!

Glad some of the videos help!

@@megacatlive I agree batting was difficult, and yeah cat fight is pure rng so its good you had a good time with it, I've done the plat 2 or 3 times and 1 time it was easy and the other times was a pain.

@@megacatlive aha its all good, thank you for the comments they are very much appreciated, these games just take some perseverance, you will learn by playing and even if it seems impossible at the start, if you observe and practice you can get through it! glad you are enjoying the game, keep up the hard work!
I don’t know if I doubled my comment but just to be sure i need help because I can’t get a riichi ippatsu. The strange part is that when I called riichi once the top corner said I needed a stick 1 or a stick 4 but when the next opponent drops a stick 4 I can’t call ron and the game goes on until someone else wins or it is a draw. Is this because I discarded a stick 4 or that tour hand needs something special? I hope someone can help me here
@@basplasqui6914 riichi basically means you need 1 tile to win, ippatsu means within the round so basically you need to win after calling riichi within the round (ie within the next few people's turns) it doesn't matter what you discarded you just have to win within the next full turn, so if it gets back to you then it won't count as ippatsu, it's all rng at that point so don't worry but can understand your frustration, thanks for the comment!
I am in limbo trying to figure out what the fuck I’m doing wrong I would deadass have like the best setup and still lose bruh my brain is incapable of processing it
sorry for the delay in response been on holiday, it is a difficult game to get your head around, hopefully you have managed it whilst I was away but if not let me know and I'll try to advise as best as I can, thanks for the comment
How do u get the tiles to say like the english translation on the top because i don't have that
@@anthonygutierrez1533 it only appears on certain versions of the game so if it doesn't show up then check the settings, if it doesn't have them in the settings then you will have to use a tile guide on Google to know which tile is which, best of luck with this and thanks for the comment!
Hi it's me again, lol. I have completed Majong and I'm really decent at it now, but I discovered a major bug with Riichi Ippatsu! You can get a Riichi Ippatsu win with calling "Ron", but the submission won't count it! The only way to get a Riichi Ippatsu win to count is to call "Tsumo" then it pops! I even have PS photos to prove it's a bug, because I was taking photos to review my winning hands, lol. So yeah I hope this piece of info helps everyone! ; D
that seems insane, not sure how I did it back in the day but congrats on doing it anyway, if that is true its very strange, but thanks for the information, good luck with the rest of the plat!
@@ragnarhenchbrok Well I had a look at other guides on just how to get Riichi Ippatsu and others don't understand why a Ron won't work - guides say it should (It even said Riichi and Ippatsu on the winning board screen at the end of my round), but each and every guide showing it unlocking is only with a Tsumo. So it has to be a bug, but for most playing wouldn't even realize it. Idk if I should or can report it to sega... it's been out for some years now. I hate bugs so much, but when they make you feel dumb when you're actually doing the right thing... it's very annoying. I just hope someone reads this in the future and knows it's not their fault if Ron doesn't work. Anyway, thank you I need all the luck I can get, lol. ; D
My Brain got Hurt when Playing Mahjong
thanks for the comment and yes it is a tricky game to understand but it gets easier the more you play
i just dont get it.. i dont know where to start, cant win even on beginners mode
The basic idea is to get 4 sets of 3 tiles and 1 set of 2 tiles, a set would be a straight or a 3 of a kind, similar to poker. So focus on firstly not using pon or chi, secondly just try to make a hand of for example 1,2,3. 5,5,5. 5,6,7. 7,8,9. And then 2,2. That is an example of a standard winning hand. It can be any combination of numbers as long as it is a straight or same number. There are other tiles as well that are D for dragon, E for east, S for south etc they are used as 3 of a kind or can be the double. Press square every round as you might have a hand without knowing it, if you are 1 tile away, riichi will pop up and the game will auto play until win or the last tile is drawn. Focus on the basics first and then check out winning hands etc best of luck to you and it takes time to learn so don't be too hard on yourself, just keep trying.
So when I call richi which tile do I put down the one with the highest number next to it?
If you call Riichi the game automatically plays until you win / draw or someone else wins, it basically means there is one tile left for your winning hand, with regards to the tile you put down go for the one that there is least of left on the board - for example if you had a 5 and a 9 that could win you the game and there is only 1 9 left on the board then go with the 5, it depends really because if someone puts down the 9 in the first place they don't need the tile as they discarded it - but the hands can change so its really a guessing game, thanks for the comment!
So is a hand/suit 3 of the exact same tile? Or can it be 3 separate circle tiles, dragon etc
Basically you need 3 tiles of the same class, in either a straight 1,2,3 or a triple 333, and then you need 4 of those hands and then a double. Dragon or directional ones you would need a triple, the in depth rules are tricky but that is the basics, you can make full straights with the tiles or flushes etc similar to poker in the overall 14 tile hand, it is very rng heavy but hopefully you will get some luck with it!
Press square every round! Where in the hell did it promt to do that? My gf can play majiang, perhaps a different version to this, but she kept asking why we weren't able to declare this. Why we needed one more tile only but never had the chance to say so.
It doesn't tell you to as far as I am aware which is a bit harsh especially for new players, but yeah square on ps controller would let you know if you need one more tile or not, if you only need 1 more tile to win riichi would show up and then the game auto plays to either a tsumo, ron or draw or someone else win, you don't have to call riichi though if you want a fully concealed hand, hope that helps, thanks for the comment
@@ragnarhenchbrok It's just odd. We looked through the rules for which button to press to do exactly that. It's strange because chi and pon appear without any button pressing.
I’ve watched videos on real life, the game, and it’s sooo weird and mind boggling to me
It will get easier the more you play, I think of it as similar to poker, just with a bigger hand to make, will try to advise where I can but I am not very good at mahjong, I just know how to get by with it! Thanks for the comment and best of luck to you
Trying to 100% Kiwami and god damn I hate Mahjong more than anything in this world.
Aha yeah it is a bit of a pain RNG wise, but once you know the basics it gets easier, you will smash it I'm sure, takes a lot of patience with these games due to all the RNG moments, good luck
how are you able to see the numbers on the character tiles? is it a mod or equipment I need?
It depends on the version you are playing unfortunately, some dont have numbers on and some do, however I would use cyricz guide on Mahjong hands to make it slightly easier
For Bamboo (green) and Dots (Black), it's the number of sticks/dots there are. For the Japanese tiles (it may be tricky, but): one line is 1, two lines is 2, three lines is 3, the rectangle is 4, the "e" shaped one is 5, the star shape is 6, the "X" shape is 7, the "Roof" is 8 and the "Hook" shape is 9
Been toying with this while putting off the catfights lol, reminds me of go fish in a weird way
it's not as bad as people make it out to be but it is very RNG heavy, so hopefully you will get lucky with it, thanks for the comment and best of luck with the plat!
So when i get a Richi how do i determine whats the better piece to discard is it the ones that have a 4 next to them in the upper right corner or a 3,2,1?
Hi, so the higher the number in the upper right the better, that indicates how many of that tile are left to play so more chance of winning if that makes sense, good luck dude
@@ragnarhenchbrok thanks man

I completed riichi ippatsu and full straight but I’m stuck on haneman been trying to go for seven pairs or a full flush to get more Han but it’s so rng
congrats on getting full straight, must have been close to getting haneman with that, riichi ippatsu definitely helps, getting directional or dragon tiles should help too but yeah its pure rng if you are the same as me and don't understand some of the rules for dora, hopefully you get it soon and best of luck to you! thanks for the comment
I’m really struggling with haneman and mangan, I’m on 0/5, idk what to do
@@Bacon-vm1rr if you are now winning games, then I would suggest looking up different styles of hands, like full straight or flush or various other ones, you will get them eventually if you keep winning it's just winning with a good score, don't use chi or pon and try to get directional or dragon tile triplets as that can help, I'm not an expert sadly so I don't know the rules but I'm sure you will get them if you keep playing
@@ragnarhenchbrok yeah, I’ve came a little far since I last commented like a week ago, and let’s hope so, and a full straight is another thing I need to get and I don’t use chi, pon, kan or anything
@@Bacon-vm1rr I think they do have their purpose but I don't know what it is without it having an affect on Dora so yeah it's gonna be an rng thing for you but knowing how to win is the main thing, it's just a matter of time before you get what you need
14:09 why did u go for the Pon there? what does that accomplish bc i rly don't get it. the chows and all that. does it help you to win?
Good question I don't actually know much about the rules of mahjong, however, I saw the game was coming to a close and the closer you are to a finishing hand I think you get consolation points if it isn't tsumo, might have just been drunk, but in general do not use cho or pon because it lowers your score, like if you steal a tile you lose dora I think, the best way is to try and formulate a hand from what you pick up naturally
@@ragnarhenchbrok very cool of you to reply despite uploading the vid 6 months ago. Thanks. I somehow understand what to do now.

I’ve read the rules so many times, I still don’t understand how to play mahjong.
It's basically 14 tile poker if that helps, just aim for 4 hands of 3 tiles and a double, always press square each round in case you are 1 tile away from winning, it is overwhelming as a beginner but it gets easier with time

@@georgem2768 Congrats on the parts you have done already, full straight just got to aim for that from the start and it will happen eventually, might be worth stealing tiles to get the ones you want on that, full straight is 1-9 and then a triple and a double, mangans and hanemans will come naturally, not stealing tiles helps you get a better total score I think, so play each game not stealing and hopefully you get lucky
So it's just full RNG? AI are throwing riichi turn 2/3 sometimes and me haven't even had been close to it, always stuck at 2 tiles needed and never pull what I need even though I have options opened between 2 tiles for each sets sometimes.
It's never going to be something enjoyable I think.
A lot of it is RNG, I would go off and do different things and then come back and see if your luck changes, also try different tables, also on settings put on 2 Dora minimum if you haven't already, usually slows them down from getting riichi as fast, hope your luck changes, you will get it eventually I'm sure of it!
@@ragnarhenchbrok thx for the advice, I'll get it eventually but I'm pretty sure I'll never enjoy it, some of the mini games are the only reason I hate Yakuza sometimes.

I need help with this mahjong full straight yakuza game on PS4
It is pure RNG, the aim is to get 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, of 1 suit ( so like all dots or all green or the other one) then you can have a random 3 tiles and then a random double, hope that helps, it is pretty rough but if you just keep aiming towards the straight only, it will happen at some point
Late comment, but is there a recommended hand to aim for in order to get a Haneman?
Honestly I have never really looked at the hands, so it was pretty much RNG for me, but I would assume a full straight is a good hand and always try to make use of the dragon or north east south west tiles if possible, I believe there is a hands guide on cyricZ guide in the description but if not I'm sure there are some guides on decent hands, best of luck to you on this!
Best way to get an haneman is to stack Dora tile and do a riichi and hope to get a reverse Dora. Or if you're really lucky you can try to get all the tiles from the same family (without honors tiles) with one dora

Aha it's definitely not worth the stress compared to other games, however, if you got to riichi it means you are one tile away from winning so you know how to win, Ron just means you steal the winning tile, so if you or someone else steals the winning tile you call Ron, you were just unlucky and I'm sure you can do it, takes some luck, and good luck

It can happen, RNG differs and on different table difficulties it varies, also changing the rules to 2 Han or Dora(can't remember which) minimum can stop the easy table being as quick to finish, hopefully the rng goes in your favour, if not I would go off and do some other minigames and come back to it and hopefully rng resets
@@ragnarhenchbrok I got the full straight last night, i cried in joy. never was intending to learn mahjong, but i now i kind of love it and hate it at the same time lol
my advice to those that are having a hard time with that one is, first make sure you finish the other sets, and steal when there are straights that you need ex: 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9. i stole 3 times in those exact sequences to get mine, and when performed correctly you will get a ron victory.
@@Kamsae that could be good advice aha but I am not an expert to know if it is or not, appreciate the comment, and congratulations on getting the full straight! glad that you persevered with it and best of luck with the rest of the game!
@@ragnarhenchbrok can't wait to do it again in the next game! xD thank you so much!
@@Kamsae thanks for the comment and best of luck with it in the next game!
ok so i get this, but i GET THE WORST HANDS POSSIBLE LOL
Yeah it is rng really, I think there is a hands guide on the game but if not there will definitely be one online but it's so difficult to try to formulate a hand that I just went for RNG, hope your luck changes, thanks for the comment
@@ragnarhenchbrok Ill see lol. im going to attempt to platinum kiwami 2 and i have to do mahjong in it so it kinda sucks
@@sjjdfiwnz Haha yeah mahjong is in pretty much all of them and is usually a time consuming pain, but once it clicks you will get better at it as the games go on, the later ones have less mahjong requirements if I remember correctly, best of luck with the plats, I'm sure you will be fine with them
So I have found is if I created to many sets and I have one tile left I seem to be F'd... even if the next tile is the same (like a double). So I shouldn't create to many sets at the side, because Idk how to win with one tile a waiting placement? Is it possible?
hey, yeah you can win with 1 tile remaining, did you use pon or chi? I assume you mean that with the sets at the side, the idea is to not do that because you lose points for stealing tiles, so it becomes a lot harder each time you use pon or chi, Im not an expert but only use that if you are aiming for a full straight or something like that, it can be tricky not to steal but the rng should come round for you at some point, hopefully that helps
@@ragnarhenchbrok Honestly... stealing has really helped me to win out of the blue for not understanding much, lol! I just need 2 Megans and a Richie win and I managed to do everything else. I didn't know stealing loses points (Gained me tons of cash, lol). Anyway, I did mean the sets at the side... although I have started to create better hands since an hour ago - so I was before hand ending up with a single tile. However, if I did create sets and the game ends in a draw I get a fair amount of points rather than losing any. Btw can I only get a Richie by not stealing and concealing my hand? Seem harder than anything else so far to pull off... even altough the Ai does it with ease. Edit: Also I don't even know the differnce between pon or chi - I just thought they take a piece I need from another player either way. I just know if I see Ron I will win. ; D
@@WarriorOfTheHeavens I recommend not stealing tiles because you will get more points leading to mangan or haneman, which are the high point scoring ones, impressive that you did the other stuff congratulations, so click square every round aha you might have riichi without knowing, riichi just means you need 1 tile to win, what are you going for? sounds like you have lucked through a lot of it which is great but yeah what specifically do you need to get?
@@ragnarhenchbrok What I have left is: Go out with Riichi Ippatsu, Go out with Mangan 5 times (I have gone out with Mangan 3 times so I just need two more). I have done 4/6 Majong tasks. Sorry if my comments are confusing.
@@WarriorOfTheHeavens no worries so riichi ippatsu means once you call riichi, before the turn gets back to you you need to win which is pretty much Rng, but you can win with a ron or a Tsumo, so keep trying to get riichi and it will happen, the mangan will come with just playing but lack of stealing will help, the rng factor and stuff takes a long time sometimes so dont be disheartened all the 100% are similar in one way or another but you got this if you want it
I see the bamboo and i see that theres more bamboo than others does that mean that the one with 2 bamboo sticks mean 2? And the one with 4 bamboo sticks means 4?
Not sure which one the bamboo is but yes that would be correct I think, if they don't have numbers on if recommend having a separate device with the tiles guide that shows you which ones you have, best of luck to you with it
Anyone can help me doing this? 😭
It's a complicated minigame so don't beat your self up over it, just keep watching people play and learning and you will get there in the end!
press square?
Yes if you press square if you are lucky it might pop up with riichi which means you are 1 tile from a winning hand, sometimes you won't notice so I just press it every round when it is your turn and hope for the best
@@ragnarhenchbrok there's no square on xbox or switch controllers
@@ragnarhenchbrok i figured it out, it's x on switch
@@riftkitsune yeah whichever button correlates to the same, X on xbox and never played a switch
Can you add me and we can shareplay I can't for the life of me get wins I know how to play but I feel like I always end up shooting myself in the foot midgame by switching something I need help it's hard to get a win I'm about to throw my ps4 in the trash bc of this stupidly dumb hard game rng based
Hi I unfortunately don't have time currently for that with work life and other things going on, not been able to stream or make videos for a while either, Keep trying, if you get the basics you will win eventually, just a matter of perseverance, I lost a lottt when starting out, took a while to get a grasp on it but eventually it will sink in and RNG will be on your side, you do need to learn it for the other games too if you were planning on platinuming them, keep at it, you probably aren't as far off as you think you are
@@ragnarhenchbrok yea I kept at it today. And now i just need 3 mangan ! Thx for the help the video did help
@@SouthSideGaming713 congrats dude, same with anything in life, keep trying until you get there
i cant get five han on this
@@nwodgnillafyug thanks for the comment, are you able to win a game to start off with? From there you will find it easier but a lot of it is RNG, doesn't just happen immediately usually, took me an absolute age to get some of the completion points for it, best of luck to you though thanks
Somehow got 10 han baiman ty 🤣
aha congratulations, it goes well sometimes XD
Nice video but i guess i am too dumb to understand..
Hey, nope not too dumb at all, takes time to understand this game, there is a lot to take in at the start, just keep watching guides and reading about it and should be fine, the very basics are getting 4 sets of 3 tiles (3 tiles can be all the same number like a triple in poker or 1,2,3 like a straight in poker) and then 1 set of 2 tiles (a pair in poker) - aim for that to start with and don't steal the tiles with pon and chi. It will slowly make sense after some time if you watch the hands, hope that helps a little
@@ragnarhenchbrok It does. Thank you brother
@@kutayctak3983 no problem happy to help where I can, it will take time as well as rng, always remember to press square every turn, if you see Riichi it means you are 1 tile away from a completed hand and the game will play automatically until you win lose or draw, good luck with the rest of the plat too
@@ragnarhenchbrok so you say that i shouldn't take other players' tiles. i should make the 1 pair and 4x3 tile hand with what game gives to me. is that right?
@@kutayctak3983 Correct because when you steal the tile with Pon and Chi your score goes down, and sometimes it is impossible to win if you steal too much and the hand isn't good enough, so it is safer to not steal at all, you can make an exception if you were looking at like a full straight or one of the special hands
Bruhhhhhhhh wtf is mangan ? What does that means ?
Hi, Mangan is like a high score, I think haneman is the highest, so basically you get Dora at the end of the match when you win, if you don't use pon or chi, the Dora should be higher, if you get like a full straight or flushes or other decent hands, generally you will get Mangan or Haneman, I would take a look at cyricz written guide - link in the description he will explain it better in there for sure, good luck with the mahjong
@@ragnarhenchbrok I can't believe I did it! The illness of stress is real! Any tips for getting full straight? That's all I need !?
@@SensualityMajestic187 a lot of people think it is impossible but you did it so congratulations, and a full straight I would advise every move goes towards a full straight, you can steal tiles to make it work for that one, takes some rng though, comes with time but you know what you are doing now which helps a ton, good luck with it
@@ragnarhenchbrok Finally platinum it mane! Thanks for all the information you have gave me! Damn, a real workout
@@SensualityMajestic187 great to hear, congratulations and good luck on the other ones too if you decide to play them
tnx bro
No worries, good luck with Mahjong
@@ragnarhenchbrok yesterday I did it. Fortunately it was pretty easy with dora. One of the moment I have some hand with ippatsu(lucky get tsumo) and dora(6han) = 9han(baiman?)but now I can’t run baseball part =_=
@@Максим-я4э8в Congratulations mahjong isnt easy so you did well. it is rng for a lot of it, baseball is tricky, just need to practice the timing until you get it, write down the speeds of the balls as they are pretty similar to help with your reactions, also for the very hard ones where the pointer disappears, put a dot on your screen or a little bit of sticky paper that way you can keep the accuracy
What
which part are you struggling with?
