Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by full comboing (FC) DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 track, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astonishing 200% speed.
In a video posted on February 27, CarnyJared's triumphant final run showcases his mastery over all 3,722 notes of the song, a feat that took him nine months of dedicated practice. His video description captures the essence of this monumental achievement: “IT. IS. OVER.”
CarnyJared expressed his gratitude to his supporters, stating, “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 credits the collective effort and support from his audience, which has enabled him to pursue Clone Hero as a full-time career.

Watching CarnyJared navigate Through the Fire and Flames at 200% speed is a testament to his skill, especially considering the song's usual complexity at normal speed. Completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is nothing short of remarkable.
To achieve a full combo in Clone Hero, a player must hit every note without missing any throughout the entire song. CarnyJared's video statistics show that he has successfully FC'd nearly 2,000 times past the song's first bridge, 662 times past its second bridge, and 227 times to its solo section. His recent 200% FC marks only the fourth time he has conquered the song's solo.
Reflecting on this achievement, CarnyJared 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 unwavering support from his family, who stood by him during the highs and lows of this challenging journey.
Describing the 200% FC as the “hardest thing” he's ever done, CarnyJared's celebration is well-deserved after his nine-month grind. For those curious about the behind-the-scenes of this incredible feat, CarnyJared has teased a forthcoming “1 hour+” documentary that will delve into his journey.
