After A Cold, Lonely, Desolate Winter - Spring Has Finally Come [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.

I've never played, watched or even discussed Mahjong in my entire life but I am here for the vibes and energy.

[@vincentandrew4544]

you should try playing ittt

[@perfectelectrics]

every time you mention the dealer seat i just remember that time(s) you called it the bozo seat and it gets me every fucking time

[@morganlobrose7253]

I like it when he says prevy

[@ode-blu]

Hark!

[@beliebigkeit]

I wasn’t prepared for that casual Game Changer reference

[@EXFFicult]

FINALLY, Yu_song win after a long bloody streak of losing upload
Can we have more win upload in the future 👍?

[@Icon1cTom]

Hey it's me! Subbed during the stream but the message didn't send. Glad to support :)

[@Nikola-hz1rc]

I started playing mahjong not long ago, today I played my first ranked and won (after playing a lot of games with bots lol). You're so entertaining to watch and I feel like I'm learning much better that way.

[@edn-ny7uk]

i also like it when he says prevy

[@Szarps]

you're weak yu_song.. you lack hatred
You'll never experience the glory of chasing a riichi with seven pairs and feel the despair of an entire table as you experience the dread they carry for the next rounds feeling like no tile is safe. THAT Is what mahjong is truly about. If you dont chase horrible waits you are not living, you are just surviving

[@kassu02]

At 8.11 and 8.35 when you had the opportunity to chii the 123, what was the reasoning to skip that? If you call the 123p, then you'll be left with 44p and 56p with an open wait. Isn't it more flexible to have two pairs (44p, 33s) and be able to pon/chii either of them instead of leaving yourself with only the 33s?
Sorry for the newb question, I just started playing a few days ago :) Love your vids!

[@YusongYT]

This is a great question! Honestly looking back at it I don’t have a great answer, because leaving myself a pair of the 4 of circles does seem nice in a pair-less hand.
This is genuinely a great question for the discord because I think we’d have to dive into tile efficiency and a lot of players would be better suited to give a definitive answer of what’s better!

Ok let's pon this guy with dora

[@lingomaniac88]

What did John Feldmann, lead singer of Goldfinger, say while playing riichi mahjong?
So here I am
Pon-ing everything I can
‘Cause these dora that I have
Will guarantee a mangan hand
I’m trying to keep
The dealer’s seat
Then suddenly
Acrosslord calls riichi
“Had I all along
Been playing this wrong?”
I wonder to myself
My thoughts say maybe
And I’m so confused
About what to do
Do I push this hand
Or fold it all away?
Also something about gratuitous ska horns.

[@shaint456]

It feels like a parent using kids slang when you say prevy wind, cringe but in a funny way

[@Zhot93]

I think I have to watch less of your videos, yu song. I've noticed after watching your stuff on a daily basis for a while I am now dealing in way less, but whenever I sit in the dealer sit my opponents are getting hanemans and baimans non-stop and I'm losing without ever dealing in
