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," perfectly encapsulates the monumental achievement. Recorded on February 27th, the video showcases this world record feat, the culmination of nine grueling months of dedicated practice.
In the video description, CarnyJared 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, stating, "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 regular speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. 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 feat. An FC in Clone Hero, an open-source Guitar Hero-like game, requires flawless execution—not a single missed note. The video reveals CarnyJared's impressive stats: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and a mere 227 to the solo section—this 200% FC marking only his fourth successful solo completion.
CarnyJared's personal reflection is deeply moving: "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 describes the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory moment even more poignant. For those eager to understand this incredible achievement, CarnyJared promises a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months.
