-Shanpon is considered a "bad wait", because it only waits for a maximum of 4 tiles of two tile types (2 tiles/type). Like the other bad waits, shanpon is immune to [[suji]]. Thus, it can be used for suji traps. Shanpon (along with tanki) can also incorporate [[honor]] tiles, which may be perceived as safer. Players looking to [[defense|defend]] may fall to a shanpon wait more easily.

 If all 4 winning tiles are still available, all else equal, a shanpon wait is considered better than the other basic bad waits (those being [[kanchan]], [[penchan]], and [[tanki]]).
-*During tenpai, shanpon waits for two types of tile, while the other only wait on one type of tile. Waiting on two different types of tile is generally better.
+*During tenpai, shanpon waits for two types of tile, while the others only wait on one type of tile.
 *Before tenpai, a shanpon wait - assuming the pairs are made of number tiles - has more available upgrades into [[ryanmen]]. Pairs made of middle number tiles have better chances to upgrade.
