BASIC RIICHI MAHJONG STRATEGY (to brute force your way through a yakuza game)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- This is an INCREDIBLY basic method of playing riichi mahjong, for people who are only interested, for instance, in 100% completion of a Yakuza game. Regarding FFXIV mahjong, this method doesn't really pay attention to anything anyone else is doing on the table and isn't recommended
Just focus on your hand, don't call tiles, and try to make a completed mahjong hand. Call riichi, and you can win without having to know or remember what tiles score in which combination.
There are complexities and exceptions to this strategy but it should work most of the time!
i felt confident after watching this video then i immediately proceeded to lose 5 games in a row in yakuza 0
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
The golden rule for beginners is NEVER STEAL OTHERS' TILES and always press square button to check if you can call Riichi
What doesnt appear automatically?
@@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.
Let me guess. Who all came here for Yakuza mahjong game completions?
Yes
Yep.

@@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%)
I like how this was made specifically for strugglers like us.
Dude, you don’t know how much I appreciate that you’re using physical Mahjong tiles to explain how to play the game. You’re actually able yo show us the basic in a controlled way rather than through the chaos of a game with a Yakuza/Like A Dragon game. There’s to much going on for someone to effectively explain how to play and give examples in a clear way, let alone for someone who doesn’t understand the game to ever actually grasp what’s going on during those matches within the games. Thank you.
It's Sad that this is The Only Thing that Stopping Me to Platinum this wonderful game
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
Oh good, Yakuza 0, the only reason I need this. lol
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?
Another tip: if another player calls riichi, it can be a good idea to stop trying to form a valid hand yourself, and instead focus on only discarding tiles that the player in riichi has already discarded, or tiles that the other two players discard after riichi is called. Ron cannot be called on those tiles (the term for this is “furiten”), which can help you avoid losing lots of points!
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.
Ahh the dreaded Substory 21 of Yakuza Kiwami 2 brought me here. Thank you experimilk.
Coming back to this video to really thank the man behind this tutorial. Just won my first round with a whopping 48k points. Thank you! Maybe now I’ll actually improve
for posterity's sake:
this is BASICALLY ONLY for people who don't want to learn how to play mahjong but want to get through yakuza mahjong games. there are many more rules and an actual GREAT game with very deep strategy, but not everyone wants to learn or has time to learn. This will get you the CP you need eventually, and you can stack on top of that extra knowledge of strategy and rules. check out the mahjong reddit or google "tenhou wiki" if you want to ACTUALLY LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME
Uh how does this get a full straight
I'm not gonna lie I think yakuza has done irreparable damage to mahjong a whole generation of gamers refuse to play it anywhere else because it's so bad in yakuza
This whole time I was trying to win with Pon/chi/kan not knowing I was screwing myself over. Thanks for the simple but effective guide
"Hey yo, cheater. That's a furitan, you got no hand"
"What??"
2:55 For anyone who wants a tip, he's making a little mistake here. Instead of discarding the 6 of circles, he should've discarded the 9 of circles, because then he would've only have tiles with numbers 2-9, which meets a Yaku (winning condition) called "All Simples" (Tanyao).
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
The fist thing i did after free access to the whole city was S tier the baseball game and then realized that is one of the easiest minigames
It seems like almost every time I dscard one suit from my hand I get dealt nothing but that suit and I realize i shouldn't have discarded >
As soon as I discard a dragon tile I always seem to draw two more of the same
I would rather face every Bloodborne boss at the same time while playing Returnal with my other hand than play Mahjong EVER again on Yakuza Kiwami 2...Thanks for your help. To hell with this game though!
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.
Dude..you’re the best. Easy and simple to understand. Wished the game explained everything better
Trying to 100% kiwami 1, only need to get two diffrent winning hands and finish the climax mission. This video will help me in my achivment.
Finally a hands on video. Ty so much. Be that from yakuza 0 or being invited to play with friends. This is THE best 101 I've seen.
I used this video before, and I'm coming back to it again for review. This is the video I recommend to anyone and everyone trying to learn it for the purposes of doing well in-game, and for beginners in general.
This is literally how I’ve been playing with family members! Ignore all the complex point calculations, just get 14 tiles that meet the requirements and I’m good
"The mahjong hand you're dealt at the beginning of every game is not complete."
TENHOU!
Now I understand "Reach." I knew you were one away from Ron, but I didn't understand that you cannot change your hand in any way. Nice video!
OHH MY GOD. thank you. I finally understand the very basics.
>basic 5 minute guide
>i understood nothing
This is gonna be painful, isn't it
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
thank you so much, now i can platinum like every Yakuza game and Judgment too
I doubt you'll see this but you have saved me from going insane I was so confused when I was reading the in-game tutorial .
I was looking for a guide, and I think this is it, im gonna try it next time I play the yakuza games, thank u!!!
My left ear enjoyed this video. Right ear didn't have the same experience.
you forgot to tell about 7 unique pairs of 2 is win condition
I wish I found this during my Yakuza 0 100% but helped me with number 2 super clear and explained perfectly got my challenge cleared so fast after watching this
Boss! HUGE THUMS UP TO YOU! Thank you so much for just clarifying something that the game failed to do. I just started this game and got so confused...Even though I already spent 5-6 hour on educating myself. Once again BIG THANK YOU
Hey dude nice video! You can try to create another tutorial for another style of winning in Japanese Mahjong, namely 'Ron', which basically create winning hands through stealing discard tile from other players.
There is a significant rules difference for winning in the original mahjong and Japanese mahjong, and I have learnt the difference of Japanese mahjong from the Yakuza series.
i think i'm actually starting to understand how to play mahjong
you explained very well, i think
It took this guy under 5 minutes to teach me what 300 hours of yakuza couldnt
people: i'm learning mahjong to complete yakuza
me, an intellectual: i'm learning mahjong to read akagi
Hey struggling Yakuza player. The game difficulty also influences minigames, and money earned in Mahjong. So if you just can't finish the completion list, complete the story on hard *then* drop it down to medium or whatever to finish the Mahjong list.
Thank you! I understand the tiles just need to know a good strategy to win the game
this is the first thing that popped up when looking for a way to cheese the mahjong tables in yakuza 0, 6 hours into grinding even on the beginner table and i haven't won once, apparently i also need a riichi ippatsu and a full straight for completion. this is the only thing standing in the way for 100%, it's clear every hand is in favour of the AI and for some reason i just can't grasp this stupid game, the other minigames were a joke compared to this.
Thx for the tutorial. the characters on the tiles are NOT Japanese but Chinese. "kanji in Japanese literally means "Han characters". ... It is spelled in Japanese using the same characters as traditional Chinese"
You know it was frustrating at first but when I kinda got the hang of it, it was kinda fun and when whenever I got tsumo or ron, it was the most satisfying thing everrrr
Hello, future Mahjong addicts. I want to help you get through Mahjong, so feel free to ask me anything in the replies and I will try to answer.
should've mentioned that riichi can screw you over at high level play, but great video!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I understand what I'm doing in Yakuza and Judgement (or at least have a good basic understanding).
absolut king...took me almost 2 months to figure out this game,watched ur video and done the achivment in an hour. thank you so much!
After 11 hours of playing mahjong and understanding shit, i almost gave up until i saw this video, i remained calm. Counted the tiles of my opponents and i scored a full straight!
I usually never like a video on youtube but you’re the first person i’m gonna like
So basically rule of thumb is easiest to go for sequences (123 456 or 234 etc) which is more likely/easier than finding Triples, in a concealed hand
Also he's not really right about not caring about what others do as you might need to check how many pieces of the one you want are left, depending on what they discarded
Eg you are looking to finish with a pair dragon but there might be 2 or 3 out already of that one (even with 2 discarded there's the chance last one is in the Kan wall)
Or you wanted to make that 234 234 same suit or same sequence 3 suits, looking for the last piece.
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 😀
so as long as I remember the basic rules of the game, you can play the game?
Interesting.
no other game is like this. mahjong the first of its kind
A really great introduction to my U3A session next week. Dont want to apprear the 'unknower'.
Equip golden blackjack weapon for luck buff
Wear mew shoes for luck buff
Wear luck accessories
And discard all tiles 1 and 9 and wind tiles + dragon
Steal all tiles that make a block of 3 for 2 -8 numbers only
Do all this and you facking win easy
I know this post is 5 years and I thought my Razer is broken, it's just in surround audio.
On my 2nd channel, I uploaded 5 Mahjong videos from Yakuza 0. I got the Full Straight, Haneman and Mangan. The 1st video was me not knowing what I was doing cos I was using Chi’s and Pon’s a few times.
This hella cool man, keep it up.
Man you are the goat for this
Thanks I won my 1st Mah-jong thanks to you ❤
Ignored this damn nonsensical minigame in every Yakuza but Judgment is forcing me to learn it because of that moron friend event. I love RGG Studio but seriously it's about time to drop this minigame
Incredibly Useful. Thanks.
That was really helpful. Thank you.
thx now i go to play :D
I WAS CALLED OUT IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS OF THE VIDEO
I had completed all mahjong required in Yakuza Kiwami. But I had much difficult to do it. In Brazil we didn't learn how to play the Mahjong. So I needed to will surching info in the internet about it.
seria legal se Mahjong fosse popular aqui no Brasil, mas com esse tanto de regras os Brasileiros passariam longe do jogo.
my strategy is to do a closed hand (riichi or tsumo) and do all simples,since its an easy hand most of the time i will win the round first,and if my opponents don’t win any time,i will just win it all,if my opponent does win one time with a hand that is worth a good amount of poits then i will just try to do a hand that gives enough points to have more points then him.
thank you for this. i havnt 100% any games because i cant win at the mahjong games
I'm trying to legit learn this game because it seems like a fun way to kill some time in these games, but it's nice to have this strategy to fall back on for when I just want completion points
I kept trying to make a hand out of the tiles I was throwing out of my hand. Whoopsie.
Btw the numbers are in chinese not Japanese. There’s a difference. The five in traditional Chinese has a 亻next to it while Japanese doesn’t.
To brute force my way through Yakuza handled Mahjong Parlor? Hell yeah I'm ready to use this.
I'm trying to 100% Yakuza Kiwami 2 right now but really the only major obstacle standing in my way is that I have to go out with ron or tsumo a total of 30 TIMES (!!!) in mahjong as well as winning all the tournaments!!
Nope. I stopped playing some time ago
Broke: "I'm learning mahjong to understand this ancient complex game"
Woke: "I'm learning mahjong so I can win some minigames"
Bespoke: "I'm learning mahjong so I can understand what the fuck Akagi was about"
I was thinking shiiiitt the graphics are awesome; then realised it was the dude irl
I only came here because there is yakuza in the title
i was wrong, discard 6 pin is much more stupid
Finally figured out what I was doing wrong thanks to this video. :) Got the entire completion in Kiwami.
I'm jealous... I'm stuck with mahjong, shogi, and baccarat... I love yakuza but goddamn
im late but you saved me lol thank you for this video
I understand the rules and the concept of mahjong, but still can’t win a single game
any luck?
@@theoverwhelmer Yes I finally got my platinum trophy
@@douglas4934 hell yea man I'm currently working on that myself but for the 100% checklist the mahjong is all I have left... I have learned some basics but over like 20 hours of only mahjong I made my 100k gon out 10 times n got 1 of the special hands I still need 3 mangan 1 full stright and the other 1.... I feel helpless trying to learn this stuff n I'm trying to find someone to help me maybe in shareplay
The special hands will most likely come by just playing the game like this video (Richii) except for the full straight, I remember I saw a video showing a full straight hand and I did my best to do the same but it’s very luck-based yeah
@@douglas4934 I got the Richii one twice I tried my best to make a full straight many times when I had like 7 of the numbers already in my hand.. I even finished the round with a full straight of the same suit a pair and a set but I still lost.... I'm confused as to how the full straight works since I did everything required n nothing...
Nice strategy, ive been 10 hours with these and still cant pass 3000 points
Everyone talking about Yakuza and im here to learn how to Play it in FFXIV
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
1:08
This part is going to confuse people if they go on to actually play with someone. What you call "sequences" are actually called melds, whereas what you call "runs" are actually called sequences,. What you call "three of a kind" are called sets.
how
Maybe I'm just dumb but I've sat and watched like 6 of these and still don't understand
Amazing thanks!
Oh wow, that's SO EASY, why didnt I think of that?
*never get the tile I need because this game is pure luck*
I’d rather lose all of my money at poker, at least I know better what is happening
there is skill in it, but also lot of luck
I JUST WANT THE TOWEL!!!
Theres been so many times where i called pon a few times and had 4 sequences and just need my last pair, but i pull the last pair and nothing happens!
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.
Yea I understand none of this but if I hit square and trade enough tiles ill get it eventually
nice and easy to understand.
This fucking game force me to learn this game my parent and grand parent know how to play but they suck at teaching.
I'm here because of the mahjong anime I be watching, Akagi and Saki.
Why not go for all simples? its a rememberable yaku that has no honor or terminal (1 & 9) Tiles. Just saying because I am advanced
Can somebody explain to me of winds must always be the same to count as three of a kind? Or can you have for example east, west and north?
Today I found out that seven pairs is an acceptable hand in Mahjong, I also got a Tsumo with it. What a day. Also, you can't call Riichi when you steal tiles, right?
Correct
Thanks dude!

Your making me loose brain cells removing the round 6 instead of the 9 by removing the edge u will get more points
yes
Thanks… I think!
Thank you!!
I still don't understand lol
watch Saki, its an anime about mahjong where you can learn the basics.. i learned after watching the anime and some research and practice, i love the game! If you want to actually learn how to play the game, there is a nice video on YT "A comprehensive Walkthrough by HanaYoriUta"
May I inform that you can do ankans (I.e. drawing four of the same tiles by urself) when reaching (or riichi-ing)
Nice guide but what am I supposed to do if I simply don't get any pieces that connect to each other? e.g. I have mosty dots and keep drawing bamboos, or the other way around... Not to mention the AI often ends the round before I can do much. Mahjong in Yakuza 0 is so obviously rigged in favour of the IA, it's ridiculous.
