<warning: minor Saki anime spoilers>

I've been spending my lunchtimes productively too - watching some more Saki.

I recently watched episode 17 where Koromo has a significant lead in a tournament match and chooses to deliberately forego a bigger win in order to engineer a situation where an opponent's score is knocked down to exactly zero. Just showboating really, or intimidation. It also prevents the other players (notably Saki) from declaring a tsumo win.

[jcr661]

i swear i played against someone just like Koromo a month ago.
It went into an 8th bonus round when they were dealer. looking back at the replays non of us could reach tenpai and just sat there watching our points disappear via tsumo.
scary lucky, and yes they did call a riichi and win on the last tile. that only happened once, but it was still freaky.

[Referee]

Ah, my poor poor Kana...

Once is enough I think!

I'm finding that the trouble with watching a lot of Saki is that it massively raises your expectations of winning off the supplement tile when you declare a kong in a ready hand!

Ah, my poor poor Kana...

She's a sweetie. Those ears are adorable.

I watched ep 19 today - there's a wonderful little moment between Kana and the team coach after the match.

I'm actually in exactly 0 points every time I start at 25000, throw a riichi stick and deal into a dealer baiman. Yeah, doesn't happen that often, but it does.

Also, it happens quite a few times that fate smiles on the other players at the table, and prevents me from killing the guy in fourth leaving him with 0 points.



Lucky for me, in Janryuumon, 0 points still counts as tobi and the game ends. But when I play there, luck is such that they are left with 100 points. Good enough to continue the game.

I've seen (and done) this too, more often with a dealer mangan when playing under the wareme doubling rule.

Wareme is such a bitch that even a ko haneman would have done the trick. I can see it happening quite often. w
Funny nonetheless.

Still... playing with wareme and tobi is pretty much a pain on itself.

Its always pure BS when someone else pulls it off, but i swear nothing puts a smile on your face like winning of the dead wall.
I have to admit that i take every chance to kan i get after watching Saki even if it backfires on me 99% of the time. that 1% is really really sweet when you hit it.

Try a desperate furiten tanki, on top of that a hell wait.





It's not like it's saki's fault, though...

[Referee]

Jcr's hand I only count 7 han? Haku Rinshan, Dora 5. What am I missing?

[York1jm]

The menzen tsumo, it is a closed kan of the haku.

[xKime]

Yeah, it says right there

門前清自摸和　(menzenchin tsumo hou)
飜牌 (fanpai)
嶺上開花 (rinshankaihou)
ドラ５ Dora 5

A bonus-composed baiman ftw. <3

[jcr661]

wow...that furiten wait was pure BS.

Pure BS

Ah tell me about it. But that one time you actually hit it oh does it feel so sweet.

I snagged a RK last night for the first time. I've seen my newbie friends get it but never had a chance to get it myself haha
