YuukiTheFlash is an amateur Riichi Mahjong player who first picked up the game in May 2018, at a [[Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong]] club meeting, where he was introduced to it by [[User: 鳥星雨|鳥星雨]] and taught from scratch by [[User: KyuuAA|Kyuu]]. Yuuki later learned more strategic mahjong play from [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/#name=ペンギンヒーロー ペンギンヒーロー] and [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/#name=もふもふ藍 もふもふ藍], members of [[Chicago Area Mahjong]]. He goes by the pseudonyms of [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/index.html#!&name=Kuro%E6%80%9C Kuro怜],[https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/index.html#name=Onjouji%E6%80%9C Onjouji怜], and [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/index.html#name=Kikuko%3C3 Kikuko<3] on [[Tenhou.net| Tenhou]], although Yuuki's [[Majsoul]] ID is [https://i.ibb.co/zX7GJd6/majsoul-alias.png Kuro怜] as well. While Yuuki regularly plays club mahjong with both [[Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong]] and [[Chicago Area Mahjong]], he also occasionally plays online with the Tenhou Tuesday group. In addition, Yuuki has met and played with members of [[USPML]].  

 

Yuuki is an avid fan of [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Ritz_Kobayashi Kobayashi Ritz's] [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Saki_(anime) Saki series], where his favorite character is [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Senriyama_Girls%27_High_School Senriyama's] Vanguard, [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Toki_Onjouji Onjouji Toki]. Subsequently, he also plays as vanguard. Furthermore, Yuuki's favorite [[yaku]] in the game is [[Ippatsu| Ippatsu 一発]], and his favorite [[yaku]] combination is [[Ippatsu]] [[Menzenchin tsumohou|Tsumo]], as it is Toki's signature hand. Although he has never scored it or seen it live, Yuuki's favorite [[Yakuman]] is [[Tenhou and chiihou| Tenhou 天和]]. (There was a period of time where Yuuki was obsessed with [[Daisangen| Daisangen 大三元]], which has since dulled after he scored it multiple times on [[Tenhou.net| Tenhou]]). Yuuki's proudest hand that he has scored is what he refers to as his [https://image.ibb.co/dvrg7z/Toki_Kazoe.jpg "Toki Kazoe"], a [[Kazoe yakuman| Kazoe Yakuman]] scored in casual play, where Ippatsu Tsumo on his [[Takame and yasume| takame]] tile gave him exactly 13 [[Han]] needed for the Yakuman ([[Riichi]], [[Ippatsu]], [[Menzenchin tsumohou|Tsumo]], [[Pinfu]], [[Ryanpeikou]], [[Honitsu]], [[Dora]] 2, [[Akadora]] 1).

YuukiTheFlash has an aggressive leaning play-style, oftentimes pushing bigger hands, while not being afraid to attack for cheaper, faster ones. This attack-oriented style is shown by his average deal in rate (放銃率 - Houjuu ritsu) of around '''13.8%''' across his two main [[Tenhou.net|Tenhou]] accounts. Yuuki's aggressive play is more strongly reflected in his higher than average hand win rate (和了率 - Houra ritsu), of [https://image.ibb.co/i1c7ze/Onjouji_Stats.jpg '''26.2%'''] on his [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/index.html#name=Onjouji%E6%80%9C Onjouji怜] account, and an overall average of '''24.2%''' across both accounts. In addition, Yuuki tends to be more of a Menzen-type player, shown by his high Riichi rate (立直率 - Riichi ritsu) above '''21.9%''', and more often than not - refuses to [[Damaten]] unless there is a clear advantage to doing so. Nonetheless, Yuuki does at times play like [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Ako_Atarashi Atarashi Ako], a character in the Saki series who is unmatched in her speed through calling. Yuuki's Call rate (副露率 - Fuuro ritsu) across his two accounts is '''36.1%''', which is average, but his more recent [https://nodocchi.moe/tenhoulog/index.html#name=Onjouji%E6%80%9C Onjouji怜] account has a high call rate of '''39.1%''', showing clear influence from Ako's play. (Note that this is as of 9-07-18, and credit goes to Tina for her [https://dfwriichi.wordpress.com/2018/06/13/tinas-tactics-3-knowing-your-play-style/ article] on how to interpret Tenhou stats).

As of 04-03-2019, YuukiTheFlash's [[List of yaku#Yakuman|Yakuman]] count is at '''13''' (1 via [[Majsoul]], 6 via [[Tenhou.net]], and 6 on real tiles). Only Yakuman scored in 4-Player are counted. His Yakuman completion include: [[Daisangen]], [[Kokushi Musou]], [[Shousuushii]], [[Suuankou|Suuankou Tanki]], [[Ryuuiisou]], and [[Kazoe yakuman|Kazoe Yakuman]]. To date, Yuuki has won every single 4-Player hanchan where he has scored a Yakuman (13/13). Here are Yuuki's more detailed [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uteuDP50ri3MfPykkw4xTahpSIyY8d6S_xtZXJ9oKRY/edit?usp=sharing Yakuman statistics].

| Yuuki's first Yakuman; [[Hadaka tanki]] ron on [[Toimen]], who shared the pain with [[Kamicha]] due to [[Sekinin barai]].

| A gyakuten ron 7 discards in, hitting the leader, Kamicha, on South 1 Honba 2. Also, in South 3, Yuuki was [[Shanten|iishanten]] for a [[Shousuushii]], [[Tsuuiisou]].

| Yuuki was in third, pushing for first, dropping dangerous tiles including dora to keep Daisangen tenpai, which paid off with a ron on Shimocha to win the game.

| Yuuki's first Oya Yakuman, a gyakuten passing first place Kamicha, who was at 58k, to win the game. Ron [[user:鳥星雨| 鳥星雨]] (Shimocha) on East tile, who yelled "hit me" in voice chat right before being hit.

| Oya Yakuman while already far up in first at 49.3k. The lead allowed Yuuki to push hard for the [[Ryuuiisou]], which eluded him for so long (6th tenpai). The hand helped score his highest ever Tenhou format plus minus, with [https://i.ibb.co/cJnxKqZ/plus-109.png +109].  

| Yuuki's third Shousuushii, on jigoku 西. Ending the game on the first hand, Yuuki has now scored [[Shousuushii]] with shabo 東, 北 tanki (jigoku), now 西 tanki (jigoku), 南 is next.

Yuuki's second ever Oya Yakuman, a gyakutan to take first after entering Oorasu in 4th at 17.1k. This was also the second ron called in the entire hanchan, (the first being called the turn before in South 3, when Yuuki ronned first place Kamicha with a mangan).

Yuuki's first [[Daisangen]] scored while playing on real tiles, and it happened to be the first Yakuman scored of the 2019 year at [[Chicago Area Mahjong]]! The Oya Yakuman also happened to be the single largest scoring hand for Yuuki to date, as it was worth a total of 50.3k, counting 2 riichi sticks and the honba points. This [[Daisangen]] pushed Yuuki's Yakuman count to double digits (his 10th), and he even dropped a live dora into a riichi on ippatsu turn to push it!

These are some of the more interesting yaku and yaku combinations (non-Yakuman) YuukiTheFlash has scored.

These are some unusual situations that YuukiTheFlash has been a part of, while playing Riichi Mahjong.

This final section is dedicated to YuukiTheFlash's favorite mahjong player, '''Onjouji Toki (‎園城寺 怜)''', of the [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Saki_(anime) Saki series]. Toki is Senriyama's Ace, playing in the Vanguard position, as she possesses the future sight ability which allows her to see several turns ahead on what tiles she or her opponents will draw. Thus, Yuuki rooted for the Senriyama team during the [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Category:71st_Inter_High_School_Mahjong_Championships 71st Inter High School Mahjong Championships], where the team consisting of [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Toki_Onjouji Onjouji Toki] (Vanguard), [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Izumi_Nijou Nijou Izumi] (Sergeant), [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Sera_Eguchi Eguchi Sera] (Lieutenant), [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Hiroko_Funakubo Funakubo Hiroko] (Vice Captain), and [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Ryuuka_Shimizudani Shimizudani Ryuuka] (Captain) placed [http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/71st_Inter_High_School_Mahjong_Championships_Match_for_5th 5th] out of 52 teams. Toki personally finished the nationals tournament scoring a total of '''+45.6k''' points, or an average of '''+9.12k''' per game, across the [https://image.ibb.co/kridvU/Toki_Stats71st_Interhigh.jpg five recorded hanchans] (two in quarters and semis, one in match for fifth) she played. From those [https://image.ibb.co/kridvU/Toki_Stats71st_Interhigh.jpg recorded stats], Toki had an average placement of '''1.40''', and if [[Tenhou.net|Tenhou]] oka and uma [https://image.ibb.co/mFCDvU/toki_score.png were used], (weighted properly for the five hanchans), Toki [https://image.ibb.co/fcg929/tokitenhoustats.png would have an average score] of '''+37.08'''. Onjouji Toki is also the main character of the manga, "[http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Toki_(manga) Toki]", a spinoff of the Saki series focusing on Toki during her elementary and middle school days.
