That makes Saki's power even stronger, since she can win off really crappy hands cutting off an opponent's big win with a Rinshan Kaihou.

Same goes for Chinese mahjong(not really traditional I'll say).. You need at least 1 Fan to be able to win.. If not you'll be paying other people for winning on a fake hand(a hand with no value).. At least that's what I know for Chinese mahjong..
But drawing from the dead wall is not just limited to Kans, drawing a flower/animal tile also entitle to a draw from the dead wall and certain flowers and all animals tile add to Fan values.. So Saki's style of playing still pretty much is deadly..

Personally I think that one of it's other huge weakness is it give hidden hands SUCH huge bonuses that you can't try to feed off other people..
That's a huge major weakness compared to Chinese mahjong(the other mahjong that I played)..
