Good lineup.
Very interested in Mushihimesama ultra run.

[copy-paster]

I did the Salamander 2 one, failed 2-ALL but it was very clutch one when I cleared a loop clear.

This was the first shmup slam I watched and I was pleasantly surprised by the high quantity and quality of replays and commentaries. One can get the impression that the scene is almost dead looking at the reduced activity on the boards, but this event shows there's still a lot of dedicated players there.

I also thought those commenting on the replays had a nice balance between introducing the basics of each game and sharing advanced strategies.
Nice game selection as well, some less well-known versions of classic games, some hidden gems, and some of the more popular, competetive games.

So credit to all the organizers, players, and people making commentary.

(maybe add the updated youtube links and schedule in the first post)
