A lot of this relates to "The Legend of Koizumi" manga/anime(Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku for you Japanese buffs). The Goumoupai and Rising Sun are Koizumi's signature moves.
That's true, but it's also based on Saki (the first 3 allies are based on characters from Saki) and Akagi (K-Dog 2 is based on him), and the Dora Bomb seems to be from Legendary Gambler Tetsuya. It's based on multiple manga/anime, not just Koizumi.
Should we put something here regarding the additional chance of getting caught after each successive cheat? Each time you cheat, according to the news update, it's an additional 2% chance of getting caught. Though I'm not sure whether that's every time you use a cheat, or only if successful… (so if you're caught the first time, it's still 20%/95% the second time, but if you pulled it off the first time, you'd get caught 22/97% of the time…though one would hope you wouldn't try using the SS after other cheats, but by itself…)
I suck at mahjong but love tacos…when I inch my way up to lvl 5 100 points at a time, can I outright buy her?
One, I'd suggest you get the best tile set you can, for bonus experience (you'll need a wooden set for Sue2, and an ashen set for Lil Rack, anyways). Then, practice using the flash game linked from the how to play. Trust me, it helps. Also, if you can, do higher difficulty games. You might still place 4th, but at least you get more exp for having done so. And finally, yes, you can outright buy allies (for that season, at least, you do lose them when you loop, even if you bribe them). Though it's 3 million for Lil Rack, 5 million for TACOS, etc (before party house discounts). Then again, as the recent news post stated, each time you lose against an ally, the price goes down by 2%. So for each time you lose against TACOS, the price would drop exactly as much as you paid to play that game (unless you played with RP…). Also of note is that if you beat an ally fair and square, the price for buying them in later seasons drops immediately down to the 10% minimum in later seasons.
Yeah, every time you lose against an ally, the price drops by 2%, down to a minimum of 10%. No matter how you lose against them. Though I wouldn't suggest losing on purpose just to make it cheaper…go for the gold, and if you can't get it, at least you get a little bit of a consolation prize.
Hey you know there are 2 links to this in the party house drag down menu right?
Are we ever going to add the character encounter texts for character battles? You know, the text that shows up when you can fight one.
For Sue2, it's "Are you going to put me in your Team or what? I've been here for AGES!"
And when you confirm that you want to fight her, it says:
Opponent: Sue
"Am I overs here? Or am I.. OVERS HERE?
Actually, I'm across froms you. Hehe."
Just thought I'd add that in, as a help or something.
