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 his incredible feat, a world record culmination of nine months of dedicated practice.
CarnyJared expressed his gratitude in the video description, acknowledging the unwavering support of his Twitch and YouTube community. He highlighted the countless hours spent collectively analyzing the song's 3,722 notes, optimizing their approach for maximum efficiency.

Even at its normal speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is breathtaking. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is an extraordinary accomplishment. An FC in Clone Hero, an open-source Guitar Hero alternative, requires flawless execution—not a single missed note. The video reveals his impressive statistics: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 to the solo section—this 200% FC marking only his fourth successful completion of the solo.
CarnyJared's heartfelt words express his deep appreciation for the support that has made this possible: "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 shared, also thanking his family for their continuous support throughout this challenging journey. "This is a moment that will live with me forever."
He described 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 hinted at an upcoming "1 hour+" documentary detailing his journey.
