Even at regular speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is simply breathtaking. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a testament to his skill and dedication. An FC in Clone Hero requires perfect execution, without a single missed note. The video reveals his impressive statistics: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 to the solo section—this 200% FC marking only his fourth successful completion of the solo.

CarnyJared expressed deep appreciation for his family's unwavering support throughout this grueling journey, calling this achievement a moment that will forever hold a special place in his heart. He described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the post-completion celebration entirely justified. He teased a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary detailing this incredible feat.
