Watching CarnyJared navigate Through the Fire and Flames at such an accelerated pace is a testament to his skill and dedication. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes showcases an impressive level of mastery. Achieving an FC on Clone Hero, an open-source game similar to Guitar Hero, requires flawless execution from start to finish.
CarnyJared's video statistics highlight the challenge: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 reaching the solo section. His successful 200% FC on Through the Fire and Flames marks just his fourth time passing the solo.
Expressing his gratitude, CarnyJared acknowledges the support that allows him to sustain his livelihood through gaming. He also extends thanks to his family for their support throughout his journey. He describes the achievement as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, underscoring the intensity of the nine-month grind.
For those eager to delve deeper into this remarkable accomplishment, CarnyJared has announced plans for an upcoming "1 hour+" documentary detailing his journey.
