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 celebratory tweet, "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 practice.

CarnyJared expressed his gratitude in the video description, acknowledging the unwavering support of his Twitch and YouTube community. He highlighted the countless hours collectively spent analyzing the song's 3,722 notes, optimizing strategies for flawless execution. This dedication, he emphasized, enabled him to pursue his passion for Clone Hero as a career.

The video itself is breathtaking. Even the standard-speed version of "Through the Fire and Flames" is challenging; witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is almost incomprehensible. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a testament to his skill and perseverance.

An FC in Clone Hero requires perfect execution—not a single missed note. In-game statistics reveal CarnyJared's remarkable progress: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and an impressive 227 through the challenging solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful completion of the solo.

Overwhelmed with emotion, CarnyJared expressed his profound gratitude for the support of his community and family, stating, "I am blessed every single day...This is a moment that will live with me forever." He described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, underscoring the immense dedication required. To share this journey, he teased a forthcoming hour-long documentary detailing his arduous training.
