Inspired by club leaders at Waseda University, 鳥星雨 has practiced discard reading to push seemingly dangerous tiles under an opposing Riichi call and steal some wins from other players. His favorite strategy is to push hands that win off of the Riichi player's genbutsu tiles, picking off points from other players who are attempting to fold. He takes advantage of the fact that a call for Riichi not only eliminates entirely the calling player's ability to defend, but also tends to elicit folds from the remaining players. This way, he not only gains points, but crucially denies opportunities for comeback wins and gyakutens. | Inspired by club leaders at Waseda University, 鳥星雨 has practiced discard reading to push seemingly dangerous tiles under an opposing Riichi call and steal some wins from other players.

鳥星雨's biggest weakness is aggressive play involving fast tenpai hands. This is because of his unwillingness to call, even when it may be better to do so. This is most evident when he plays with beginners, or in the 一般 lobby of Tenhou, where although he doesn't deal in, he loses simply due to other players being faster in hitting the beginner level players. Thus, he very much dislikes playing games with beginner level players, and prefers to play with 特上 level players or better. | 鳥星雨's biggest weakness is aggressive play involving fast tenpai hands.
