Streamer Secures Full Combo for the Most Infamous Guitar Hero Song at 200% Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by completing a full combo (FC) of DragonForce's renowned Guitar Hero 3 song, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astounding 200% speed. This monumental achievement was captured during a live stream on February 27 and marks the culmination of a rigorous nine-month practice regimen.

In the video's description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, "IT. IS. OVER." He credits his success to the unwavering support of his community on Twitch and YouTube, emphasizing the collaborative effort that went into mastering the song's 3,722 notes. "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," he remarked, highlighting the dedication and teamwork involved.

The challenge of playing Through the Fire and Flames at regular speed is daunting enough, but CarnyJared's performance at double speed is nothing short of miraculous. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes showcases his exceptional skill and perseverance.

To achieve a full combo in Clone Hero, a player must hit every note in the song without missing a single one. CarnyJared's on-screen statistics reveal his journey: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second bridge, and only 227 successful runs to the solo section. The successful 200% FC of Through the Fire and Flames is only the fourth time he has managed to pass the solo.

Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared, "This is a moment that will live with me forever." He expressed deep gratitude towards his supporters and family, who have been with him through the highs and lows of this challenging journey. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, underscoring the immense effort and dedication required.

Following his success, CarnyJared announced plans for a comprehensive documentary, over an hour long, to be released in the coming months. This documentary will offer fans an in-depth look at how he accomplished such an incredible feat in the world of Guitar Hero and Clone Hero.
