Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by completing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's challenging Guitar Hero 3 song, Through the Fire and Flames, at a staggering 200% speed. This monumental achievement was shared with the world on February 27, marking the culmination of a nine-month journey of dedication and practice.
In his video description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, “IT. IS. OVER.” He acknowledged the invaluable support from his followers, emphasizing that their encouragement throughout this "ridiculous grind" was instrumental. “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,” he noted, highlighting the collective effort that allowed him to focus on the game full-time.
The complexity of Through the Fire and Flames, even at normal speed, is daunting, but CarnyJared's performance at 200% speed is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes, his skill and precision are evident. The video statistics show that CarnyJared achieved nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second bridge, and only 227 times to the solo section, making this the fourth successful pass of the solo at 200% speed.
Reflecting on the impact of this achievement, CarnyJared shared, “This is a moment that will live with me forever.” He expressed deep gratitude towards his family and supporters, crediting them for enabling his daily life and career. “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,” he added, underscoring the personal significance of this milestone.
Describing the FC as the “hardest thing” he’s ever done, CarnyJared's celebration was well-deserved after such an intense period of focus and effort. For those curious about the behind-the-scenes journey, he announced plans for a “1 hour+” documentary to be released in the coming months, offering an in-depth look at the process behind this incredible achievement.
