Streamer Secures Full Combo for the Most Infamous Guitar Hero Song at 200% Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator, CarnyJared, has achieved the seemingly impossible: a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's notoriously difficult Guitar Hero 3 track, "Through the Fire and Flames," at a blistering 200% speed.

His triumphant announcement, a simple yet powerful "IT. IS. OVER," accompanied a video uploaded on February 27th, showcasing this world-record-breaking feat. The video reveals the culmination of a nine-month training regimen, a testament to dedication and perseverance. The on-screen text during his final, successful attempt highlights the immense challenge: flawlessly executing all 3,722 notes.

In the video description, CarnyJared expresses his gratitude: "I am rightfully thankful for everybody that has supported me throughout this ridiculous grind. I have the best supporters on the entire platform of Twitch and YouTube," he wrote. He further explains, "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."

Even at its normal speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is incredibly challenging. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is almost incomprehensible. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a truly remarkable achievement.

An FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, demands perfect execution – not a single missed note. The video's in-game statistics reveal CarnyJared's progress: nearly 2,000 FCs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and a mere 227 attempts before successfully navigating the notoriously difficult solo section. This 200% speed FC marks only his fourth successful solo completion.

CarnyJared's heartfelt gratitude extends beyond his online community: "I am blessed every single day to wake up and have food in the kitchen, and a place to sleep because of you amazing group of people," he stated. "And I also thank my family, who has not only supported me my whole life, but they all specifically watched and supported this entire grind at my lowest and highest points. This is a moment that will live with me forever.”

He describes the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory outburst following his success entirely understandable. For those eager to learn the secrets behind this superhuman feat, CarnyJared promises a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months.
