Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by full comboing (FC) DragonForce's iconic song "Through the Fire and Flames" from Guitar Hero 3 at a staggering 200% speed. The monumental event, which CarnyJared succinctly described as "IT. IS. OVER," was captured and shared with the world on February 27, showcasing his final successful attempt at nailing all 3,722 notes without a single miss. This incredible achievement is the culmination of nine months of dedicated practice.
In the video's description, CarnyJared expressed his deep gratitude to his supporters, acknowledging the crucial role they played in his journey. "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, highlighting the collective effort and time spent mastering the song's complex note patterns.
CarnyJared's accomplishment is all the more impressive considering the song's length and difficulty. At regular speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is challenging enough, but at 200% speed, the song is completed in just over three minutes, making CarnyJared's full combo a breathtaking display of skill and precision.
The streamer's on-screen stats reveal the sheer difficulty of the task, with nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 successful runs to the solo section. This 200% FC marks only the fourth time CarnyJared has successfully navigated the song's solo, underscoring the rarity and difficulty of his achievement.
Reflecting on the impact of this achievement, CarnyJared shared his heartfelt thanks and the significance of the moment. "This is a moment that will live with me forever," he said, expressing gratitude for the support that allows him to make a living playing Clone Hero. He also thanked his family for their unwavering support throughout the process.
CarnyJared described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a testament to the dedication and effort required. Following his successful run, he celebrated in a manner befitting the monumental effort.
