Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by completing a full combo (FC) of DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 song, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable accomplishment was showcased during a live stream on February 27, 2025, and CarnyJared's reaction was succinctly captured in his post: "IT. IS. OVER."
The video evidence of this world record-breaking performance reveals the culmination of a nine-month journey dedicated to mastering all 3,722 notes of the song without a single miss. CarnyJared's dedication and the support of his community were pivotal in this achievement. In his video description, he expressed deep gratitude to his supporters on Twitch and YouTube, acknowledging their role in his success and his ability to make a living playing Clone Hero.
The complexity of "Through the Fire and Flames" at regular speed is challenging enough, but CarnyJared's performance at double speed is nothing short of mind-boggling. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a testament to his skill and perseverance. The on-screen statistics from his stream show that he achieved nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 times to the solo section, making this the fourth successful pass of the solo at 200% speed.
CarnyJared's emotional response to his achievement underscores the personal significance of this milestone. He credits his family's unwavering support throughout his life and during this specific challenge, emphasizing how this moment will stay with him forever. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a sentiment that resonates with the intensity of his celebration following the successful run.
For fans eager to delve deeper into this incredible journey, CarnyJared has announced plans for a comprehensive documentary, expected to be over an hour long, to be released in the coming months. This documentary will offer an in-depth look at how such a seemingly impossible feat was accomplished within the Guitar Hero and Clone Hero communities.
