Hey Crow, love the guides! They are incredibly helpful. Could you maybe make a video on when to call Riichi and when to stay in Damaten? This is always a big discussion in my friend group and we disagree a lot about it in most situations. Keep up the great work 🙂
Thank you! Always great to hear the feedback ❤️ Regarding the riichi, I can take a look at it- I have a copy of a book that goes through the straight stats for it (spoiler- it's like always better to riichi statistically), but obviously, the stats aren't everything. I'll see if I can put something together!
One more usage of kabe: if three or all four tiles are in your hand, you may try to discard one for defense. If it passes, you have a few safe tiles in your hand. Works better with winds/dragons, unless you suspect kokushi musou. Even if it's a dangerous one, three different half-safe tiles may be worse.
I wish riichi youtubers explained the Japanese terms they nonchalantly use. As if English beginners know what penchan, iipekous etc are. There are English names for those, and most are also perfectly descriptive by itself.
