The Toughest Yakus/Yakumans...
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:02 pm
So there's been some discussion on things like San Kan Tsu, which is a yaku that is the rarest non-yakuman yaku, so let's discuss the toughest yakus/yakumans some more.
I hear statistically that the toughest non-yakuman (standard) yaku are these (in no particular order):
San Kan Tsu
Chan Kan
Ryan Pei Kou
Honroutou
Sanshoku Doukou
Daburu Riichi
Shou San Gen
Statistically, the toughest (standard) Yakuman are believed to be the following (in no particular order):
Suu Kan Tsu
Tenhou
Chihou
Chuuren Poutou
Chinroutou
Ryuu Ii Sou
Dai Suu Shi
*Standard Yaku/yakuman are patterns which are commonly recognized and stand on their own (Daichisei is not "standard" as it is Tsuu Ii Sou and Chii Toi Tsu and Suu Ren Kou isn't recognized everywhere)
Now, there may be some disagreements to this list, but it is based on statistics.
As for making the particular yaku/yakuman in question...
So far, out of my won hands in JRM, there has only been 1 Chan Kan, 4 Daburu Riichi, 3 Honroutou, 4 Shou San Gen, 1 Sanshoku Doukou - I've yet to make San Kan Tsu or Ryan Pei Kou. In addition, I made 1 Nagashi Mangan (which isn't listed above as it isn't recognized everywhere, or it could be Baiman instead of Mangan) and I've ignored anything that I made in 3-player (even tho I've not hit any of these in 3-player, since I've only played a 3 games in 3-player).
I've yet to make any of the yakuman on that list, however, I was tenpai for Ryuu Ii Sou until I fed into someone's Mangan (or something) and I made a Suu Ren Kou (in 3-player), which isn't a yakuman where I got it.
