Which is the superior anime riichi client?[ 9 votes ]
1. Mahjong Soul 5 / 56%
2. Riichi City 4 / 44%

It the before times, there was tenhou.net. And then there was light, in the form of Mahjong Soul. It had english language support! It had anime girls! It had microtransactions!
All was well.... anyone who played riichi on this hemisphere would agree to play on this Mahjong Soul client, as it is easy to use and you could play from any web browser.
But then, there was a challenger. Riichi City was not content with the monopoly Mahjong Soul had over this new and expanding english speaking riichi mahjong community.
In the present day, mahjong players are split. Now that there are two competing clients, fights break out over which one to play. After all, everyone has spent hundreds of dollars and hours rolling for their favorite collaborations.
So I ask you, which client would you rather play on? And what makes it your choice?

Fighting against the status quo is very difficult, but if mahjong soul players even played riichi city for a week they'd be appalled by how many free tickets and goodies they'd receive, theyre too used to getting jack squat from mjs!! Leave the toxic relationship and give riichi city a try.

mahjongsoul clears. you can play on browser, while in riichi shitty you have to download a lot of nonsense and it takes a long time; the roster of characters is WAY better (does riichi city even have men??); the collaborations are better; the EMOJIS are better, for while in RC they are animated they are LESS, which you feel a lot when playing, and also less inspired; generally speaking, in mahjongsoul you can play without it looking like you're watching porn; for higher ranks, there's barely anyone playing in riichi city; and mahjongsoul just plays better too. the one advantage riichi city has is that it's more generous with its gacha... but... the characters are all bad so what's the point?

Unfortunately your pre established distaste for mjs emotes that comes solely from the starting characters is going to be hard to sway you from. Riichi city does lack in the men department, but they do have a funny panda with great emotes (wiggle).
The upselling of MJS has bourgeois and capitalist roots- in another thread you stated your distaste for capitalism, yet you dont support the interests of the proletariat?

I dislike the tits-and-ass ratio that Riichi City has. Too much lewd.

Riichi City is for sure way better, you're able to complete daily quests and such to get pulls at a decent rate, unlike majsoul where a single pull can take 20-30 hours of grinding. Majsoul does have a gintama collab though so that's cool

mjs is easier to hop on, but if we're talking ranked then riichi city clears because I hate 4th avoidance


"If I did that..."


"Then I couldn't have met you guys, right?"

I find the microtransaction element of these games the least important, especially since you don't really need characters or decorations to actually play mahjong. I managed to get characters in mahjongsoul just fine playing for free. I have several now. and why would I want them all when I'm not even gonna use them? 
on the other hand, only after playing RC for 40 hours did I manage to roll a character (and I prefer the starter anyways), so is it really that much generous?

good argument. I forgot about that. I can see why people would prefer the way rank points work in RC. still I don't like how few people are playing ranked in RC starting from sun room.

Mahjong Soul's relaxing aesthetic and music enhance the experience. The character designs at least of the early characters are more elegant and appealing, Riichi City barfs neon colors all over you and barely has any cute boys either
