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 achievement. The video itself is a testament to his dedication, with on-screen text highlighting the nine-month-long practice regimen that culminated in this incredible feat.

In the video description, CarnyJared expresses his gratitude: "I am incredibly thankful for everyone who supported me through this insane journey. I have the best fans on Twitch and YouTube." He further emphasizes the collaborative nature of his success, stating, "We all spent countless hours studying those 3,722 notes, searching for the most efficient way to play them. It somehow worked, and now I can make a living playing Clone Hero, thanks to all of you."

Even at normal speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is truly mind-boggling. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is an extraordinary accomplishment.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, demands flawless execution; not a single note can be missed. The video reveals his impressive statistics: nearly 2,000 FCs past the first bridge, over 660 past the second, and a remarkable 227 completions of the challenging solo section. This 200% speed FC represents only the fourth time CarnyJared has successfully navigated the solo.

CarnyJared's heartfelt gratitude extends beyond his fans: "I am blessed every day to have food and a place to sleep thanks to all of you. And I thank my family, who supported me throughout this entire journey, from the lowest to the highest points. This is a moment I'll cherish forever."

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