They will probably aim for 200 points and keep adding scores, but it’s unclear from this how many points go in and how many times they can hit it alone.

Even if there are galleries, it seems like it will be really boring.

It seems like there was a rule that those who could do something could just keep going relentlessly…

If you make a mistake, you’ll be replaced.

Prepare the formation to maximize points and make a decisive strike.

If you’re too good, the attacker will keep pushing forward continuously.

Rule number one: First, have a drink.

Four balls

A type of carom (the technique of hitting two or more different target balls with one shot).

Using a pocketless carom table and four larger balls (two red and two white), strike the designated ball as your cue ball among the two white balls.

If the cue ball hits two or more other balls in succession, it scores points, and the player who first reaches their set target score wins.

There are no conditions regarding the process of a cue ball hitting other balls (such as the number of cushions it hits).

After a missed shot, the competitors switch roles, and the players also function as scorers, recording each other’s points.

Therefore, players will not be substituted until a miss shot occurs.

The cue used is designed to gradually thicken from the tip to avoid losing to larger and heavier balls than pocket billiards, and is made to have less flex in the shaft.

>>13

I feel like this side was more dominant about 40 years ago.

There were many lanes like this at the bowling alley.

It becomes too plain to just gather the balls at the edges to make it easier to hit, and do it methodically.

If the ball falls into the pocket, it has no meaning…

It’s understandable that it has fallen out of favor.

Now that you mention it, I really don’t have any pockets.

Yeah…

>>20

A fun game where you spend time waiting in a state of readiness while watching your opponent’s impressive skills.

The capacity to say “nice game” when the first player makes a decisive move.

If I become the first player, I need to have the level of skill to keep pushing until the end.

If the struck cue ball hits either the yellow ball or the red ball twice, the carom shot is successful, earning 1 point.

The first player continues to take shots until a miss occurs; if they miss, they switch.

The game continues until one of them reaches 200 points according to the rules of the thread.

>>21

Does this mean you can only score 1 point with one shot?

Isn’t it painful to count too?

>>100

Chat

There is, right?

>>102

You have to do 200 chants, okay?

Yes.

So, gather the red balls to the edge and create a situation where you can easily do a double shot.

Aim for time reduction by continuously and meticulously pushing on.

>>100

The factors of the patience to do that and the opponent’s score approaching my loss.

Only those who can account accurately without cheating can play.

>>113

I’m going to play nine-ball.

Although this old man is saying such things, he will score 200 points after the changeover.

Does that mean it will be my turn forever?

>>26

Gateball is said to be such a mean-spirited sport that it’s inexplicable why it became popular as a senior sport; I’ve heard it’s a game where players pull each other down.

>>59

A game where a smiling grandmother pushes her grandfather into hell.

An old man who ends up doing nothing.

>>67

How sad…

>>59

Recently, grand golf, which can be played in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere, is becoming mainstream.

Human relationships are not rough!

The part where it’s just poking away slowly in the final stages is too boring…

I heard that it is something you do while socializing over drinks.

Take a shot of bourbon with each thrust.

If this keeps going without my turn coming up, it might just end…

It’s actually really boring to watch.

Is it interesting if you do it?

>>30

I think those who are doing it will find it enjoyable if they don’t make mistakes.

The person waiting is thinking, “Hurry up and make a mistake…”

A competition where you wait for the opponent to build a Trump Tower, and when it collapses, it’s my turn.

Only knowing this is impressive in its own way!

If we do it now, the waiting side will start messing around with their smartphones, and it could really turn into a boring game.

Of course, nine-ball is going to become popular.

Even those with a hole only know nine-ball…

It’s a game where you gather with people you vibe with, drink alcohol, and chat aimlessly.

It feels like anyone who is used to it, or even just anyone, can do infinite combos…

>>41

It’s the kind of vibe where you wonder if you can completely destroy the CPU in one go.

If you drop it, you will have to change runners.

>>41

A game where if your opponent can’t do anything, you have to keep doing an infinite combo.

If you think about it, the flavor of the thread image changes.

Indeed, it is a world of obsession…

You can make four balls like this.

Dull!

This is going to decline.

That permanent combo is probably a series of improvisations.

Although it’s called a dedicated table, pocket billiards, which involves dropping balls into pockets, actually came later.

The side that is waiting has to seriously pay attention to the person doing it and remember the score, and since it’s boring until a mistake happens, it’s no wonder that it gets dull.

It probably takes a skilled technique to continuously chip away at something in the corner.

As expected, it’s dull…

Boring.

You have to be someone who can enjoy watching other people play.

But it’s great that customers who play such outdated games are coming, Grandpa…

If you intend to win, mistakes are not allowed from deciding the initial order to taking every point.

Expecting the opponent’s mistakes is not gentlemanly.

Indeed, if you don’t have a life full of passion, you won’t just play four balls in billiards.

This is a crappy game…

Doesn’t it end up being just a single turn for the person going second when facing a skilled player?

>>75

But even those who lost can push through if they are given the chance.

Great masters give birth to great masters.

The gallery won’t be able to enjoy this…

There’s no way a game like Yu-Gi-Oh with a ban on such inducements would become popular!

After all, in competitive games, there’s no real thrill in just waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

>>65

The rules or the way to enjoy it are different.

It’s like a hotheaded guy who thinks about when to start fighting while drinking with his opponent.

There were parts to block the holes even in the hole-punched stand, right?

>

I’m just watching and it’s boring.

In other words, a master has another master as their opponent.

One can say that he is a first-class gentleman who can maintain that.

Um… won’t you switch in 5 times or something?

It’s like a high score attack where you switch out after losing one machine in a shooting game.

A game enjoyed elegantly with alcohol and tobacco.

Boring Monster Strike.

It’s like an RTA runner doing it under the same regulations.

Despite the obvious lack of a complete system and the inconvenience it causes.

I feel like it’s the psychology of someone who stubbornly insists that only the first installment of the series is their absolute favorite.

I want to play snooker or carom, but there are many places with only pocket tables.

Aren’t you going to argue about whether you got two or not?

This means that you can gauge the skill level based on who takes the first turn at the start of the game.

It is a game where a complete novice cannot pretend to be a master.

When I play second, I’m so drunk on sake that I can’t win.

It’s cool, but it’s so cool that no one gets hooked and has stopped playing, which is why this thread image exists.

When I was walking around the city in Beppu Onsen, I saw a billiard hall that had a sign saying “You can play four balls!” and it reminded me of the thread image.

I don’t really understand billiards either.

>>90

The guy who can’t hit the ball well is the worst.

It’s a game.

It would have been nice to have a life where I could enjoy drinking and smoking with close friends during the day…

Sorry, I was rolling a cigarette and didn’t see the shot just now.

To truly enjoy the game, one must have the capacity to praise it as a nice game even if it ends solely on the opponent’s turn, along with the skill to play through to the end without making mistakes when it’s one’s own turn, and there must be an opponent that matches one’s own ability.

It can’t be helped that it’s becoming obsolete!

Isn’t snooker hugely popular overseas while nine-ball is considered minor?

Is it possible that if the lead is skilled, it could just end up waiting endlessly like this?

>

I don’t know how to enjoy the game, but I can definitely feel that I’m really good at it…

Isn’t it true that you can’t play billiards unless you’re smart?

One person continues to play a game that both can do almost flawlessly for as many rounds as they like, while the other watches while drinking.

In a way, it’s a way to pass the time that you can’t do without alcohol.

I feel like I might get completely drunk while doing this.

It seems there are four stores you can see when going to Akihabara on the Sobu Line.

>>101

I understand that it is a Western-style toilet.

It’s a bit different from the thread’s content, but that’s how RTA Japan is.

Nine-ball has super simple rules, and even beginners have a chance for a comeback, so it’s understandable that it became popular.

The movie Hustler had a sequel called 9-Ball.

Even 200 seems like a struggle, but this old man managed to score 1000 points?

>>107

So there’s no one left to take me on anymore.

Is there no technique to achieve multi-hit like this, to the extreme of double?

>>108

If there are 2 or more hits, any attempts at hitting will be counted as 1 point for “successful carom shot.”

Next time, I will defeat you!

Isn’t nine-ball itself pretty difficult?

Isn’t this just a rule to make an excuse to drink alcohol?

But this chat looks fun!

>>114

Well, at first…

It seems there is a site that gathers places where you can do it like this.

https://billi-walker.jp/bwpoolhall/index.php?mode=show_lists&pref=13&city=all&sort=4b

If I had eternal life, I might do it at least once.

Could it be that billiards is complicated, so the rules were lost in Fallout?

Because they’ve been doing something so understated for so long, that’s what makes the old man and Ryu-san amazing.

Where should beginners learn billiards?

When you hear it like this, it doesn’t seem like the rules of yotsudama are that complicated after all.

I don’t think I want to do it.

Suu…

Co… Co…

Knock… knock…

Oysters… Ko…

Even the comics were too plain and didn’t work out.

The auction house is a masterpiece.

Whether something is considered a masterpiece or not depends on the person.

It’s something you do quietly while chatting with two guys, right…?

In extreme cases, there could be a maximum of 399 shots.

If I drink during this interval, I might end up completely drunk.

This is something that you can’t really enjoy unless you’re in the atmosphere from when the rules were established, right?

>>129

I wonder if we were doing it with scores like 10 points at first…

If you keep at it diligently, you’ll just end up with tiny balls! Hahaha! Or get teased like that.

Soon, this place will surely decline and end up looking like this.

>>130

“Are you going to do the bulletin board?”

>>130

In the past, I could do anything.

Starting a judge thread for 100 consecutive days too, huh?

Is that okay, you young one?

“Anonymous is created by the anonymous.”

I’m the only one on the current bulletin board.

I can understand that there are fewer stores that can do it… From the store’s perspective, it’s a lost business opportunity.

>>131

Moreover, the billiard table is huge.

I only know about the bulletin board!

>>133

Ni!

You’ve lived a pretty messed up life, haven’t you?

Are you going to be a judge?

>>134

I only know the judge.

>>138

Perish.

>>138

You have lived your own life too.

Despite their plain appearance, it seems like they will both be quite worn out.

Since I’m being made to be a scorer, I can’t just say “Sorry, I wasn’t watching (lol)” and get away with it.

>>136

This is no longer a game, it’s an exam to measure the other person’s character…

>>143

A master creates a master.

It seems like Ryu-san was playing regular billiards naked with his wives…

>>137

Go to the people you know to obtain information about the enemy.

Deliberately losing just before hitting 200 points after going through the trouble of playing Yotsudama.

It’s a scene where the opponent gains trust by scoring 200 points.

If the bulletin board is four balls, then nine ball is…

I was just thinking, is there an advantage to using Cassis Orange for vitamin B supplementation in competitions like this?

>>141

I’m sorry, but I feel that a Cassis Orange doesn’t suit a four-ball.

>>154

Tequila!

>>159

It’s bourbon, right?

5 glasses!

In the past, you know.

I can do anything.

1000 response threads too, huh?

>>145

It is only natural to perish…

>>145

In the past, it used to be 2000 replies.

>>185

Is it okay, young one?

Keiiro creates keiiro, that’s how it is.

It’s amazing that you can do this while drinking.

The last page looks like “I’m so bored, 4 Tamas…”

>>147

I think it’s really cool when skilled people quietly enjoy conversations, drinks, and cigarettes like this.

If it’s a game to enjoy while leisurely drinking and smoking, that sounds pretty good…

Isn’t it fine to make the vertical width about half since I’m just going to use the corners anyway…?

>>152

It is precisely because it is wide that your skill is tested when you go to a difficult place to hit…

54 Yeah

Chat

It’s natural for people to flow to something easy, but I think using time like this is good too.

If amateurs do it, it might end up looking like a different sport.

I’m drinking, so I might fall asleep during the second round, and it might lead to a fight.

Bringing difficulty adjustments towards mental strength is a bit problematic…

Even without the jokes, I’m worried that he’ll still be on 4chan when he becomes an old man.

>>166

The 4chan board has long been on the verge of extinction.

When I hear it was born in 18th century France, I’m sure it wasn’t this kind of game at first.

Even though I don’t really understand the appeal of this game, it’s great to see everyone playing it so stylishly.

The atmosphere on every page is sophisticated.

Is a table specifically for four-ball needed?

It seems like there isn’t much left now.

Gathering four in the corner seems like it would require a lot of skill and would be fun.

From there on, well…

Cigarettes are a bit too bulky when it comes to cigars.

A good paper roll is just about right.

I understand it’s a gentleman’s game, but it just doesn’t seem to catch on.

The gallery isn’t lively, and the opponent has too much free time.

It’s nice that it’s hand-rolled tobacco…

I play billiards with my friends, but I’ve never actually seen anyone playing four-ball for real.

It looks like the thread image has scored 10 points in 2 rounds, but is the rule different?

>>177

It’s okay to omit things because it’s a manga.

It’s fine if a hundred years have passed between the frames.

It seems like there might be potential up until the bonus time, but from there, it’s just a slow and tedious process…

>

It feels like a crappy game where you keep hitting the opponent with the same annoying technique in the second half.

While drinking sake and puffing on a cigar

It seems just right to wait for my turn while enjoying a chat.

Is the counter used at 54 points a real thing?

Is the person drawing this related to Golgo?

>>183

Kano Seisaku

Don’t you know about Brothers or Dummy Oscar?

>>188

I’m sorry, I don’t understand…

The way of drawing letters and progressing the frames feels like Golgo.

It was a conversation about how there are fewer elderly people playing gateball while caregiving, and then we ended up laughing about how, of course, everyone will eventually pass away.

I don’t know why, but it’s still popular in South Korea.

>>187

Is it the feeling of continuously getting CS in LOL?

It’s an auction house, right?

Jumping and bouncing around completely naked.

I have a memory of it being a manga that I didn’t really understand.

A high-difficulty stone-collecting game, huh?

I remember Ryo-san saying that there used to be a lot of four-ball games in the past.

I might mess up the score calculation if I drink alcohol.
