Watching Through the Fire and Flames at 200% speed is a mind-boggling experience, as CarnyJared manages to navigate the song's seven-and-a-half-minute duration in just over three minutes. Achieving an FC in Clone Hero means playing a song from start to finish without missing a single note, a challenge CarnyJared met after nearly 2,000 attempts past the song's first bridge, 662 past its second, and only 227 to the solo section. This latest FC on Through the Fire and Flames at 200% speed marks his fourth successful pass through the song's solo.
CarnyJared's accomplishment is not just a personal triumph but a testament to the unwavering support from his community and family. He shared, "This is a moment that will live with me forever. I am blessed every single day to wake up and have food in the kitchen, and a place to sleep because of you amazing group of people." He also acknowledged his family's role in supporting him throughout this intense journey.
Describing the challenge as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, CarnyJared's celebration is well-deserved. For those eager to delve deeper into this incredible achievement, he has teased a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary that will offer an in-depth look at his journey.
