Even at normal speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is incredibly challenging. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is almost unbelievable. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is an extraordinary achievement.
A Clone Hero FC requires flawless execution, hitting every note. The video reveals CarnyJared's impressive statistics: nearly 2,000 FCs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 completions of the challenging solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful solo run.
CarnyJared's heartfelt words highlight the significance of this accomplishment: “I’m blessed to wake up each day with food and shelter, all thanks to you amazing people. I also thank my family for their unwavering support throughout this entire journey, from the lowest to the highest points. This is a moment I'll cherish forever.”
He described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the post-victory celebration well-deserved. For those eager to understand this incredible feat, CarnyJared promised a detailed, hour-long documentary in the coming months.
