GH3 BOT: Through The Fire And Flames - Expert 100% FC (984,346)

This video is of a bot created by me for guitar hero and similar games playing the bonus song Through The Fire And Flames by Dragon Force in the game Guitar Hero 3: Legends Of Rock on the Xbox 360 Console. In this run, the bot plays all 3,722 notes perfectly (full combo), achieving a final score of 984,346 with an average multiplier of 4.865.
To my knowledge, this is the BEST SCORE A BOT HAS EVER ACHIEVED for this song. Please notify me if this is not the case.
This device does not rely on any game modifications. I built this device by dissecting a standard Xbox 360 wired controller, and wiring my own relay switches to what were the buttons and triggers. For the whammy control, which is the analog two dimensional joy stick, I connected a binary switch through the proper resistance to put the joy stick down about 75% of the way. This can be seen in the video in that the whammy is applied for all sustained notes by toggling at a fixed frequency from off to 75% down at a rate sufficient enough to gain star power during star power sequences. I control these relay switches using a program I wrote and the files that make up the PC version of Guitar Hero 3 (relying on the fact that the Xbox 360 version and PC version of the song contain the same exact notes with the same exact timing). The program interprets the song data files, in this case, specifically the file that contains the timing and identity of the notes for single player expert mode for Through The Fire And Flames. The only user input is a key press to sync up the first note, and then the program closes the appropriate relay switch(es) to hit the appropriate note according to the timing information in the song data file. The program uses the whammy control on all sustained notes. I activated star power simply by closing the relay switch that is connected to the select button on the Xbox 360 controller. I also edited the song data file to contain an extra sixth 'fret' to simulate a star power button, placing in star power notes to maximize score. This bot is unlike any other, so this may be the only bot video you've seen that incorporates star power. I have taken this bot online, but I turn off the system before the song ends to preserve the integrity of the leader boards. It is just so much fun to mess with people's heads...
Please, DotA.

I wish I could mute the video and just hear the sound of all the plastic guitar buttons.

[@PS2Damon]

"by explaining it to a further measure" that's not even close to what he said, and that shit makes no sense

Who let Chuck Norris play Guitar Hero 3?

[@peytonfuimaono5597]

Nobody. Bruce Lee already killed him.

[@noahbusch7542]

Bruce lee is dead chuck Norris is not so your joke fails

[@Skippy-ig6vg]

+noah busch Chuck isn't dead because he's afraid Bruce Lee will kick his ass in heaven.

[@jer8274]

[@jordanmeares926]

I just about passed it on easy.

[@sailortaylor9892]

medium is pretty easy

[@briskymfs]

I'm starting to get better at the game I just passed it on hard now all I need to do is pass it on expert mode.

[@TheChaosDragoness]

Yeesh, I was just fingering along to the fret buttons, and now I think I need to duct tape bags of frozen peas to my arms to keep them from seizing up >

[@Renji9031]

Wells, OK then.

[@TibblesYT]

Justin bieber gets 0% on beginner mode

[@TheBlackgrimreaper]

How original. Think that one up yourself or did you steal it from a bunch of 10 year olds.

[@TheBlackgrimreaper]

Fanboy of what exactly? Of bieber? No... I hate him. I just think the bieber sucks at everything joke is fucking stupid.

[@patrickmoore7635]

EpicsonicFTW hahaha

[@FlauntieWolf]

You know a song is hard when you hit a 500 note streak within the first minute...

[@kingsizewipes]

Ah, yes, but it is very difficult. Surprisingly enough, it is much easier for a person to squeeze as opposed to a bot because we have reference to the beat, so we can adjust back from a deviation in timing quite easily. The only time reference that my bot has is the start of the very first note (I start the program as soon as the first note is to be struck). This also relies on my timing to be accurate with the first note, and any inaccuracies will ply for more inaccuracies for the whole song

[@ZenVybez]

I can totally do this , here hold my beer and give me a blind fold

[@jacklucas5908]

XD

[@V1VISECT6]

You can actually find a video of someone playing this blindfolded, not a full combo of tho.

[@kierradycus4932]

This may be a bot but it is AMAZING

[@GaneralJuggler]

He lied, this bot used a DANNY! (Guitar hero phenom)

[@BigLezz]

This game has really good graphics for it's time.

[@Vaylr]

READ THE DESCRIPTION "THIS IS A VIDEO OF A BOT CREATED BY ME"

6:27 so far away III 6:45 ramping dragons 7:04 almost there... 7:12 YOU ROCK!

[@MrSwagLoco]

Do people really not see this is a bot? It says so in the title. Still epic though.

[@Aeradom2000]

I think I broke the volume button trying to get it to go higher.

[@Skyleton127]

I don't drink.... But I can do that hold my blunt

I can do that. Hold my beer

[@-michaelsyellowplums-594]

[@StormDogg]

Was anyone else hoping for a score of 1 million to break space time and all that?

[@StormDogg]

doesn't mean it couldn't get a million points

[@jdagaming2044]

By the time you actually get to 100% on the song you pretty much know how to play guitar

[@sailortaylor9892]

that's if you use the guitar

[@churrogang4778]

Sailor Taylor controller - one - fc!

[@nthquery7776]

Fingers have been BROKEN

[@whatswiththatgrin291]

Bots can whammy and star power?

[@garyxgaming6616]

This bot was built to do so

[@ReflectTheEmotions]

i saw some dude mod his real electric guitar to play guitar hero notes and played ttfaf 100% with his real guitar, if you wanna know how to play guitar hero with a real guitar look it up.

[@dgttfafgh3]

man!!!!! all the ones that fuck up saying its a bot dont even read the title! a perfect example of youtube comment fail in case you havent noticed it go see JLC´S vid about it

[@krohn7master]

Don't you think activating star power late enough so it lasts through the tapping section of You Rock!! would give it more points? If your bot can't squeeze, wouldn't this be the case?

[@awesomezach24]

HEY im 9

[@toxicraven13]

TheTempestMaster I agree. He fails the first second on Easy! XD

[@ReflectTheEmotions]

here's a question for ya, has anyone ever completed this 100% with no bot, and with performance mode on.

[@RCT3FREAK]

@GabrielMoraes26 I know, I was talking about how the bot was playing (not really)

[@retoxe]

@trikingomega basically he's the 4th part of the holy trinity (yes it's still a trinity though because that's how awesome he is), anything you can't do he can while sleeping. anything you can do he'll do better from a mile away, and if you recieve a roundhouse kick of his you time travel. it's a general misconception that his roundhouse kicks oblitterate you but it's not true you just end up in a different period of time, many years away out of your own life time.

[@Jacksonrox13]

@Kerbauker Some of this song sounds like a a keyboard, meaning you are playing a keyboard half he time. But John is so skilled that he can "stump" all the Dragonforce members just by playing the intro to The Test That Stumped Them All. He could probably play as fast as the keyboard in this song and The Test. Dream Theatre Rules!!! I love Pull Me Under and Peruvian Skies and The Root of All Evil and The Test and pretty much any song by them.

[@kingsizewipes]

Acutally, the bot activates it itself. Each time it activates starpower is just like another note I built in to the notechart. As in, there are 11 or so start power notes that the bot hits during the song. Also, most people think of a bot as an autoplay program for a pc verson of the game. This is played on the Xbox 360 by an external device, not a computer playing on itself.

[@TrueLegend47]

omg...people really dont even LOOK at the description!u didnt even have to click More Info!ITS RIGHT THERE! "This video is of a bot created by me for guitar hero and similar games playing the bonus song Through The Fire And Flames by Dragon Force in the game Guitar Hero 3: Legends Of Rock on the Xbox 360 Console"

[@Nebin20]

@iBeCommenting this IS a bot, but 1. it DID use star power 2. Whammy only has broken lines when you let go of the held note prematurely 3. A bot doesn't need to hold the next note early. It's programmed to hit them when it has to. (That, and the title has BOT in bold letters.)

[@kingsizewipes]

@TheAlexandru77 I custom made this bot. I pulled the note chart from the game, wired an external control device to the xbox, and programmed it to play this song perfectly with controls of both wammy and star power.

[@TiredTransbian]

No, Bruce Lee plays this with Chuck Norris's teeth. And if anyone wants to deny that, remember, with Chuck they have to speed up the film to make his blows seem damaging, and with Bruce they had to SLOW THE FILM DOWN just so you could see him move.

[@SniperMan210]

when you see videos that people uploaded says they did that song in expert 100% but other people says "you use bot!" now he said he use bots and you say "you play by your self" i dont know if that a good thing or not and my brain will xpload!

[@Mngalahad]

@legendsbasebal17 chuck norris tell to the notes that he is gonna kill them, so they preffer to kill themselves in fire... and in the right place, just as right as to make chuck win. he doesnt even need guitar... he doesnt even need controler

[@0NLINExGAM3R]

On this difficulty I can play till the rapid yellow and orange notes follow.

[@jorgeadolforoblesfonseca7007]

eres el mismo demonio k bien juegs carnal te felicito y yeaaaaaaaaaaa viva el power metal

[@havek30]

@TolisSlipknot Something that is created by a computer programmed to do a certain thing. So this person made this bot to play this song 100% of it on perfect timing of hitting the notes. It's kinda like a robot.

[@magicsnils]

yes, of course, it is a robot ! If you read the comment of the video by kingsizewipes, he says "This video is of a bot...", and a bot is a robot. So I think that nobody can do it in reality ! xD

[@SomethingtoappeaseGoogle-1024]

Its harder on guitar hero than on real guitar but you can cut your fingers on the metal strings on the guitar but really I hope that this song is legit and that DragonForce is ACTUALLY playing it

[@SetsunaTheAngel]

Yes... Nine. So you SHOULD have hit Kindergarten at age 6 and have three years of schooling behind you. And in three years you've learned how to spell simple words like C-A-T,D-O-G, and maybe eve B-O-T!

[@Flubar009]

Reasons this is fake: 1. Each time a note passed over a key they key wassnt already pushed down (glowing red yellow ect) 2. The whammy bar can only create long waves the actual size prevents it

[@MrPatranthony]

People are always saying that "through the fire and flames" on expert is the hardest to beat...obviously not, I wouldn't think twice to say how "slow ride" on easy is the hardest

[@VideoGaku123]

Yep. There's a world record for it I think. With this exact score. The dude did it better than the bot, and got a better score. /watch?v=S5GpRJItqjw

[@doonglerules]

Did you know one of the guys ( a duo played the guitar parts) who played this snapped a guitar string during the recording but they recorded it anyway and moved on?

[@SpartanLegion300]

Assuming that blindfolding him would affect his vision in anyway, and that godzilla would be brave enough to fight him. Also, Chuck Norris is never upside down, the world is.

[@Hunch89Productions]

Chuck Norris doesn't just play through the fire and flames on expert, he plays it while wrestling a bear riding on a shark. And witnessing such an event will break your eyes.

[@Tristan_Scott]

It's fake, if you look closely the buttons usually light up when you press a button. In the video none of them light up when a note comes. :D Very cool to watch though.

[@gonzarivernaranja]

WOOOOOOW!!! SOLO HAY UNA PALABRA PARA DESCRIBIRTE, CAPO

[@iagam3r]

i dont get it, why is axel steel always the main person on every guitar hero? why not use someone else?

[@psych707]

@Izewizzyfizzy he says in the description that its a bot he created. But yes, some people have done this in real life and those people really are impressive

[@Fantasywritten]

booooooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[@guerohy]

este video me ayudo mucho sobre como se juega el gh3 asi jugamos todos los expertos

[@thelivingnightmare45]

don't feel bad I can get 97 to 98 percent on medium on hyper speed 5 but its not hyper speed 5 I have a hard time to but I can't do it past that point

[@martinds93]

You're gonna make explote you keyboard for shure...!!!!! You are shutting it with a p90 bro. carefull :D How the fck you press the buttons so fast?!?!

[@bintangsadila]

medium is my high difficult :v i play this with ps3 controler :v not FC

[@Thedarksoldier1000]

Theres no such thing as a bot just asking chuck norris to help you.And i know what your thinking "i didnt see him come in" exactly !

[@tanmang42]

I wanna see someone play this and beat five chess grandmasters at the same time at breakneck speed...

[@mTm4196]

So is it like an actually bot that has fingers and presses the buttons?! Upload a video of it playing!!! I wanna see how fast it's fingers go lol.

[@clarikid]

I've always had a question about the GH3 series. how can these characters play the guitar and hold it with no strap, it begs an explanation.

[@TheTruckwheels]

kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk aaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssss

[@theevilcricket6194]

If someone could do this with no cheats or nothing and not lose any fingers in the process, I would worship them as God of Guitar Hero.

[@Kaabookie]

that note streak notification is like some dude standing over your shoulder yelling DONT F*CK UP!!! DONT SCREW UP YOU'RE SO CLOSE NOW!!!

[@SuperBarioBrothers]

I meant to say that I didn't mean that this video wasn't real performance (comment error)

[@SaltyBarber]

you even beat the record! but its sad its a bot though (anyway gj though! :D)

[@Chomik4499]

I completed on expert Fury of the Storm,Black Widow of LA Porte,Sudden Death...What do you fink,i can done TTFaF? :P

[@trikingomega]

Don't get mad at me when I say this ..... Who the hell is chuck Norris ? Seriously I keep seeing his name in many comments ..:/

[@Kerbauker]

@legendsbasebal17 That may be true. But John Petrucci could play this backwards while sleeping... and not even break a sweat.

[@xX1mn0t1ns4n3Xx]

is it possible 2 get 1 million points? B.T.W. the most percentage i got on this song on expert was 48% and that was on practice

[@mj_jg]

The person doing this is amazing Jk I know its a bot I just wanted attention.

[@dnscodcs2]

@cazy1234 Chuck norris can play this song without the guitar and still get the triple amount of points that the bot had

[@Signo4]

@YHIHY It's a bot and nobody cares if he has social life or not, this video is about a game, not about his social life.

[@Leeclone]

I wonder if the star power were deployed strategically, for optimum points, if the score would have gone above 1,000,000.

[@S1L3NTK1LL3RJAY]

Noooooo Chuck Norris plays with his tongue

[@nahhchill]

@legendsbasebal17 Chuck Norris can do this by staring down the system, the game would get scared and play its self.

[@SnakeThisLife]

Chuck Norris didn't play this. Actually, the guitar played itself out of sheer terror when Chuck Norris picked it up.

[@PokeMario321]

if i was the guy playing that guitar my fingers would have been shredded into dust when the song was done

[@TheDi3G027]

@legendsbasebal17 dude chuck norris can play this on guitar hero amd on real guitar... AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!

[@AssassinEXE]

@warriorsfanatic999 except youre wrong its not widely know that chuck norris is actually Justin Bieber in disguise

[@Ferrius]

Well then why would he write, he should be proud to do without bot, maybe he just activated it manualy ?

[@chucker2001]

are we shure this is bot because bots cant activate star power right? and the long held notes song really wierd

[@GuitarMadnesssssssss]

1) this is a bot 2) danny johnson (guitarherophenom) and chris chicke (iamchris4life) has bot own this song!

[@UberlordX]

poor bot doesn't have a youtube account now someone steals his video he would be proud if he sees it

[@TheIncredabad69]

If it was an actuale person not a bot&he/she was not cheating&it was 100% real tht wud be impressive

[@WelshDdraig]

i know this was done with a bot, but has anyone actually 100% this song on Expert? just wandering.

[@BLVKbeats]

thumbs up if you can beat the song just not the tapping part

[@Kurusu01]

Chuck Norris can do this without Hands... he just look at the guitar and the guitar plays for him.

[@sircj8]

if the dragonforce guitarist saw this he would probly get mad because of how much harder it actualy is..

[@Izewizzyfizzy]

i wonder how you uploaded this. my fingers would've died if they did that. seriously mine die on MEDIUM

[@TheTapioca]

It's a shame because the second word of the Video Title is "Bot". D: Some people will just never learn..

[@independentpear4370]

this seriously bothers me i have never watched something so satisfying

[@ciru.]

I have to say i hate the song...., But i do like the toughness of this song

[@SamuelQueiroga]

My freaking bot got 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 points! Did I mention my bot was made in china...

[@Tcrumpen]

@GersonxIsxYellow yes it is but only if you have the perfect star power path (don't know what it is)
