Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by full comboing (FC) DragonForce's iconic song from Guitar Hero 3, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This monumental accomplishment was showcased live on his stream, with the video evidence posted on February 27, marking the culmination of a grueling nine-month journey.

In his video description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude: “IT. IS. OVER.” He acknowledged the unwavering support from his community, stating, “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 emphasized the collaborative effort, noting, “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.”

CarnyJared's triumphant tweet encapsulates the achievement:

IT’S OVER

9 MONTH GRIND

THROUGH THE FIRE & FLAMES
(200% SPEED) FULL COMBO [ttpp]

Witnessing CarnyJared navigate "Through the Fire and Flames" at 200% speed is a testament to his skill and dedication. The song, already challenging at normal speed, is transformed into a blur of notes that he masterfully conquers in just over three minutes.

To achieve a full combo in Clone Hero, a player must hit every note without missing a single one throughout the entire song. CarnyJared's on-screen stats reveal his perseverance, with nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 reaching the solo section. His successful 200% FC on "Through the Fire and Flames" marks only his fourth time passing the solo.

Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared, “This is a moment that will live with me forever.” He expressed deep gratitude to his supporters and family, saying, “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... 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.”

Describing the challenge as the “hardest thing” he’s ever done, CarnyJared's celebration was well-deserved after nine months of dedication. For those eager to delve into the details of this incredible feat, he teased an upcoming “1 hour+” documentary to be released in the coming months.
