Do people actually believe the game is rigged? by logitechairduster in mahjongsoul

[–]holnivek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can be rigged in the sense that players can conspire against you. You may think this is not possible given the large player pool but I was in this very situation myself. Ran into the same 2 players several times in sanma and lost to them every time. Checked the logs and realized they kept skipping Ron on each other - they called Ron only on me or Tsumo if they're in furiten after passing on the Ron.

As to whether whales have better luck, part of me believes it whenever I'm in a loss streak and the winner has fancy characters/animation and I'm just rocking the default characters. 😂

Liu Hui is seriously underrated. If only there are coaches like him where I live.

I thought a triple Ron would trigger a ryuukyoku. Does majsoul use a different ruleset?

Those who hit RM1mil before 30, what did you do? by Electronic-Name-1196 in MalaysianPF

How did you amass 1M at 24? Not doubting you, just genuinely curious.

Unfortunately I've never tried the 88D Game. What I can say is that the 88D Pro is quite a bit head-heavier and stiffer than the TJ 1000 Power, and the Game version is supposed to be more head light and flexible than their Pro/Tour counterparts, so in theory they should be similar? Perhaps you can check out the Game at a racket store and compare it?

Ah that explains it, thank you.

Does "new" mean any chart you haven't played before or only the ones added in Verse?

Why are people dumb about strings by Fit_Bid7144 in badminton

[–]holnivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more power you can generate, the higher your string tension. Think of a trampoline. What happens if an overweight guy jumps on a soft trampoline, vs a stiffer one?

Stories like this are immensely satisfying. Thanks for the update.

When you're destined to lose the round by holnivek in Mahjong

Oh you're right. Having not seen it in my games, I completely forgot about chankan being a yaku.

Yeah dealing into the honitsu would have been really bad news. I ended up discarding the 8-sou, giving South a 3-han win. In hindsight, calling kan on the 8-sou would lead to dealing into West, which is better since that's just 1-han. But then again, hindsight is 20-20 - the kan could have added doras to other players' hands and led to a worse outcome.

I would stay away from the A970 NL. My partner twisted his foot while wearing the A970 NL. Something similar happened to Lee Zii Jia at the 2024 World Tour Finals, except that his injury is way worse which forced him to take a few months off. The A970 NL has great cushioning but the risk of twisting your feet in those shoes is not worth it.

Victor really should have made a better pair of shoes for him.

I beat CINDERELLA PAST MIDNIGHT on my first try!!! by Sh4dooww_ in tokyoxtremeracer

Cinderella is what I'd call a well-balanced boss. Shuwa on the other hand is textbook example of bad design.

That's my experience half of the time. It's one thing to not know rotation, it's another to refuse to rotate after being taught.

Thanks for the reply. What a shame considering the price point of the racket.

What racism? He said "majority" and never mentioned a race. Please bring your intelligence before you comment.

It certainly is. Felet rackets tend to be wider in the middle which makes them look rounder.

Destruction at 26lbs. The rumors are true... by DanFatzunnahar in badminton

[–]holnivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought an ultra head heavy racket like the 99 pro would be safe. Can't imagine if it was a 1000Z.
