Perfect Score on the Hardest Guitar Hero III Song

I suppose it was inevitable — someone achieved a perfect score on the most difficult song in Guitar Hero III, Dragonforce’s “Through the Fire and Flames”, on Expert difficulty.

It’s an astonishing 3,722 note streak for a final score of 987,786!

I can’t even finish the Expert campaign in Guitar Hero III due to rampant skill level inflation in the series, and I’d have no hope whatsoever of completing “Through the Fire and Flames”, which is absurdly difficult.

Kudos to iamchris4life!

I hope this doesn’t result in even more skill inflation in future installments of Guitar Hero. I sort of wish they’d add a new skill level beyond Expert for the ScoreHero crowd, something like “Insane” or “Professional” skill level, rather than constantly moving the Expert goalposts.

For me, the best part of that video was iamchris4life’s reaction to the FC. Brilliant work!

I agree with Joel, it’s great that he found it as unbelievable as we do!

I don’t buy it. If you watch the video carefully you’ll see that he NEVER holds down any of the buttons for longer then needed to hit the note. Any actual player would not be able to tap the buttons like that and hit the strum bar, if you watch the long strings of notes the buttons are never held down.

I don’t wanna be ‘that guy’ but I’ll believe it when I see a split screen of the guy’s fingers on one side and the screen on the other.

James, you do know that he is very well known on scorehero.com, a very well-known website and also holds the Guiness world record for this song, right? He is real.
