Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce’s challenging Guitar Hero 3 track, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astonishing 200% speed. The monumental accomplishment, which CarnyJared succinctly described as "IT. IS. OVER," was shared on February 27, showcasing his relentless nine-month journey to master all 3,722 notes without a single miss.
In his video's description, CarnyJared expressed deep gratitude towards his supportive community, crediting them for enabling him to pursue his passion for Clone Hero as a livelihood. "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 stated, acknowledging the collective effort and time spent perfecting the song's intricate note sequences.
The sheer difficulty of Through the Fire and Flames, even at regular speed, makes CarnyJared's performance at double speed all the more remarkable. Completing the song in just over three minutes, a task that typically takes seven and a half minutes, underscores the skill and dedication required for such a feat. His video stats reveal the challenging journey, with nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 successful attempts through the song's solo section. The successful 200% FC marks only his fourth time passing the solo, highlighting the rarity and difficulty of the achievement.
CarnyJared's emotional response to his success reflects the personal significance of this accomplishment. "This is a moment that will live with me forever," he said, thanking his family and supporters for their unwavering support throughout his highs and lows. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a sentiment that resonates with the celebratory atmosphere following his successful run.
For those intrigued by the intricacies of such a challenging achievement, CarnyJared has promised a comprehensive "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months, offering an in-depth look into the process and dedication behind his record-breaking performance.
