Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by completing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's renowned Guitar Hero 3 track, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable accomplishment was captured and shared on February 27, marking the culmination of a nine-month dedication to mastering the song.

In his video description, CarnyJared expressed profound gratitude to his supportive community, stating, "IT. IS. OVER." He acknowledged the collective effort and time spent analyzing the song's 3,722 notes to enhance efficiency, crediting his success to the encouragement and resources provided by his fans on Twitch and YouTube. "We all spent an unfathomable amount of time staring at the same 3,722 notes, figuring out any possible way to hit them more efficiently. Somehow it worked out, and somehow I am able to sit in front of this computer which you have all cumulatively provided to me, and make a living playing Clone Hero," he shared.

The challenge of navigating "Through the Fire and Flames" at double speed is immense, especially considering the song's original seven-and-a-half-minute duration is condensed to just over three minutes at 200% speed. CarnyJared's on-screen statistics reveal his journey: nearly 2,000 successful runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 attempts reaching the solo section. His latest full combo marks just the fourth time he has successfully passed the solo at this accelerated pace.

Reflecting on this achievement, CarnyJared described it as the "hardest thing" he's ever undertaken, emphasizing the emotional and physical toll of the endeavor. He extended heartfelt thanks to his family for their unwavering support throughout the process, noting, "This is a moment that will live with me forever."

For those intrigued by this feat and the broader Guitar Hero community, CarnyJared has announced plans for an in-depth documentary, expected to be over an hour long, to be released in the coming months. This documentary will offer further insights into the challenges and triumphs of achieving such a monumental full combo.
