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 highlights the culmination of nine months of dedicated practice, a testament to CarnyJared's unwavering commitment.

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, acknowledging the countless hours spent analyzing the song's 3,722 notes with his community to optimize their playing strategy. This collective effort, he notes, has enabled him to pursue his passion as a Clone Hero streamer.

Even at its normal speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a formidable challenge. Conquering it at double speed is almost beyond comprehension. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a truly remarkable feat.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, demands flawless execution; not a single note can be missed. CarnyJared's in-game statistics reveal an impressive track record: nearly 2,000 successful FC attempts past the first bridge, over 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 completions of the challenging solo section. This 200% FC represents only his fourth successful solo run.

CarnyJared's heartfelt gratitude extends to his family, who provided unwavering support throughout his grueling nine-month journey. He concludes, "This is a moment I will cherish forever." He describes the accomplishment as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory reaction following his success entirely understandable. He's promised a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary detailing this incredible achievement.
