Umm … time to quit your day job?

As any Guitar Hero aficionado is aware, Harmonix/Neversoft likes to throw in a bonus song at the end of their games that is damned near impossible for the average player to even complete. In Guitar Hero II, it was the button-mashing Jordan by Buckethead and in the more recent Guitar Hero III, Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce was Neversoft’s noob-slaying song of choice. I was really damn impressed when HellAshes FCed (Full Comboed) Jordan last year, but I am astounded by what iamchris4life just pulled off … a perfect playthrough of Through the Fire and Flames. That’s right, he hit all 3722 notes successively and nearly freaks out at the end of the video. I think I speak for all gamers when I say congratulations, Chris. You just performed one of the greatest video game achievements of all time. Kudos.

    Neversoft didn’t do [i]GHII[/i]. Harmonix was still the developer then. Also, wow.

    i wanna know how he does star power? cos he surely doesnt have time to push the select button and he doesn’t tilt the guitar up!

    Something about this doesn’t seem right. His hand barely moves at all while he’s playing, and I’m just naturally doubtful that anyone could pull that off.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

    He’s definetly not using a bot, you can see on screen that he holds the notes down before they’re played, which bots don’t do. And ‘not real’, he’s pressing select, most of the time he’s doing hammer ons and pull offs, plus you only need to stretch your little finger a bit to press select while strumming, it’s not hard.

    But damn

    I can’t even get past 1% on expert, I can’t do the whole two handed thing yet. I can get 4 stars on hard, but I’d be amazed if I ever managed to do expert.

    Wow, If that’s real I’d be amazed.It’s to bad Dragonforce’s guitarists can’t even play the real thing live worth shit.

    he missd 2 notes at 8.15 in the song.. its not perfect

  11. zizzy June 5th, 2008 3:32 am

    @quartermane
    It says 100% at the end, which means he can’t have missed any notes.

    This guy should try playing a musical instrument if he is that good at learning to push five coloured plastic buttons in time to coloured flashing lights on a tv!

  13. wow June 5th, 2008 6:55 am

    @ zizzy

    quartermane’s screwing with you, the song was finished by 8:15…

  14. backflip June 5th, 2008 10:10 am

    @ A name

    I’d beg to differ. By modern standards, I’m only a slightly better than average Guitar Hero player and I can get to around 45% in The Devil Went Down to Georgia but can’t even get past 2% in TtFaF.

  15. Joe June 5th, 2008 12:30 pm

    Wait…Why didn’t he get gold stars?

  16. B June 5th, 2008 1:05 pm

    He did get gold stars, they just don’t show up until you hit the setlist again.

    I’m a gamer. But please don’t EVER speak for me. I am not going to congratulate some black kid who has no life. He can go outside now hopefully.

  18. Fish June 5th, 2008 2:07 pm

    Nice bot.

  19. A pedant June 5th, 2008 9:47 pm

    @ Fish: it’s not a bot. Honest to God, I wish it was. But, no, he really is that good. As he’ll be the first to remind everyone. Which is why I’m really not too much of a fan.

    Also, at the risk of being pedantic: FC = full combo.

  20. backflip June 10th, 2008 2:40 pm

    @ iamchriswithnolife - Racist much?

  21. Deadzombie July 14th, 2008 7:08 am
