From the description:

Shmup Slam 7 | Live Shmup Demonstrations | Day 1, Part 1. Shmup Slam has returned and we have an amazing lineup of runs this year! Also the event is taking place at Akihabara Arcade in Westminster, Colorado! A huge thank you to Akihabara for generously hosting the event and providing such an awesome venue :-) If you are not familiar with Shmup Slam, it's a long running Shoot Em' Up event that I host that features live shmup runs (kind of like GDQ) all piled on top of each other back to back. It's such a fun time and a great way to demonstrate how skill intensive and brutal the genre is, especially in a live setting. I think it's such a cool way to interact with Shmups (Bullet Hell) that we don't get to see very often.

Day 1 features 20 different runs of games and is going to be PACKED! Here is the Schedule for day 1: https://horaro.org/slam7/saturday
