Streamer Achieves Full Combo on Notorious Guitar Hero Track at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 song, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable feat, completed on February 27, 2025, after a grueling nine-month practice period, is now immortalized in a video posted on CarnyJared's streaming channels.

In his video's description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, “IT. IS. OVER.” He credited his success to the unwavering support from his community on Twitch and YouTube, emphasizing the collective effort in analyzing and 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. 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.”

The video and CarnyJared's social media posts highlight the intensity of the challenge, with on-screen statistics showing his progress: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 successful runs through the solo section. This latest 200% speed FC on "Through the Fire and Flames" marks only the fourth time CarnyJared has successfully navigated the song's solo.

CarnyJared's emotional response to his achievement was palpable, as he shared, “This is a moment that will live with me forever. 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 also acknowledged the support of his family, who stood by him throughout the highs and lows of this intense journey.

Describing the full combo at 200% speed as the “hardest thing” he’s ever done, CarnyJared's celebration reflects the monumental effort invested over the past nine months. For those intrigued by such a superhuman accomplishment, CarnyJared has announced plans for a comprehensive “1 hour+” documentary to be released in the coming months, offering an in-depth look at his journey.
