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 song, "Through the Fire and Flames," at a blistering 200% speed. His triumphant announcement, a simple yet powerful "IT. IS. OVER," accompanied by video evidence posted on February 27th, marks the culmination of an incredible nine-month journey.

The video itself is a testament to dedication. As CarnyJared executes his final, flawless run through all 3,722 notes, on-screen text serves as a poignant reminder of the extensive practice involved. In the video description, he expresses heartfelt 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 explains. He further emphasizes the community's role in his success: “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 a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is nothing short of mind-blowing. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is an extraordinary achievement.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, demands perfect execution—not a single note can be missed. The video reveals CarnyJared's impressive progress, showcasing nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 to the solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful completion of the solo.

CarnyJared's 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 adds. “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 rightfully calls the 200% FC on "Through the Fire and Flames" the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory reaction following his success entirely understandable. For those eager to unravel the secrets behind this incredible feat, CarnyJared promises a detailed, hour-long documentary in the coming months.
