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 expresses his gratitude in the video description, acknowledging the unwavering support of his Twitch and YouTube community. He explains, "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 regular speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at double speed is almost incomprehensible. His accomplishment—a flawless run of a seven-and-a-half-minute song completed in just over three minutes—is truly breathtaking.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, demands perfect execution: not a single missed note. In-game statistics reveal CarnyJared's dedication, showcasing nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 to the solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful completion of the notoriously difficult solo.

CarnyJared’s heartfelt thanks extend to his family, emphasizing their support throughout this challenging journey. He states, “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 describes the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory moment even more poignant. A comprehensive documentary, exceeding one hour in length, is planned for release in the coming months, offering a deeper look into this incredible achievement.
