Streamer Achieves Full Combo on Guitar Hero's Toughest Song at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved a remarkable feat by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's challenging song "Through the Fire and Flames" from Guitar Hero 3, but at an astonishing 200% speed. This monumental achievement was accomplished after a dedicated nine-month grind, as announced on February 27, 2025.

In his video's description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, "IT. IS. OVER." He credited his success to the unwavering support from his community, emphasizing, "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." CarnyJared also acknowledged the collective effort in mastering the 3,722 notes of the song, saying, "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."

The video evidence of this world record showcases CarnyJared's final successful attempt, with on-screen text highlighting the culmination of his nine-month journey. The song, which typically lasts seven and a half minutes, was completed in just over three minutes at 200% speed, a testament to CarnyJared's skill and dedication.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero means playing a song perfectly without missing a single note. CarnyJared's stats reveal his progress: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 to the solo section. His successful 200% FC on "Through the Fire and Flames" marks only his fourth time passing the solo.

Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared, "This is a moment that will live with me forever." He expressed deep gratitude to his supporters and family, who stood by him throughout the process. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, and celebrated accordingly after his successful run.

For those intrigued by this incredible accomplishment, CarnyJared has promised a detailed "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months, offering a deeper look into his journey.
