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 succinct post-achievement statement says it all: “IT. IS. OVER.” The video, uploaded on February 27th, serves as undeniable proof of this world-record-breaking feat, meticulously documented during his stream. The final, triumphant run, flawlessly hitting all 3,722 notes, is shown with on-screen text highlighting the nine-month journey leading to this moment.

CarnyJared expressed his gratitude in the video description, acknowledging the unwavering support of his Twitch and YouTube community: “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. 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.”

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

A full combo in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, requires flawless execution—not a single missed note. In-game statistics revealed CarnyJared had achieved nearly 2,000 FCs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and a mere 227 to the solo section. This 200% speed FC marks only his fourth successful completion of the solo.

CarnyJared’s heartfelt appreciation extended to his family: “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. 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 after his successful run entirely understandable. For those eager to delve into the mechanics of this superhuman feat, CarnyJared hinted at a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months.
