Streamer Achieves Full Combo on Notorious Guitar Hero Track at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an unprecedented feat by completing a full combo (FC) of DragonForce's challenging Guitar Hero 3 song, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable accomplishment was shared with his followers on February 27, marking the end of a grueling nine-month journey.

In his video's description, CarnyJared expressed immense gratitude to his supporters, saying, "IT. IS. OVER." He credits the success to the unwavering support from his community on Twitch and YouTube, emphasizing how their collective effort enabled him to turn his passion into a livelihood. "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. Somehow it worked out," he shared, reflecting on the dedication that led to this moment.

The complexity of Through the Fire and Flames is already legendary at regular speed, but watching CarnyJared navigate the song at double the pace is nothing short of mesmerizing. Achieving a full combo in Clone Hero means hitting every note perfectly throughout the entire song, a task that CarnyJared managed to accomplish in just over three minutes for a track that typically lasts seven and a half minutes.

On-screen statistics from the video reveal CarnyJared's perseverance, with nearly 2,000 successful FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 reaching the solo section. His successful 200% FC of Through the Fire and Flames marks only his fourth time passing the song's solo section, underscoring the difficulty of the achievement.

Reflecting on the journey, CarnyJared stated, "This is a moment that will live with me forever," and expressed deep gratitude to his family for their support throughout his lowest and highest points. He described the full combo as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a sentiment that resonates with the celebration that followed his success.

For those fascinated by this feat and eager to learn more about CarnyJared's journey, he has announced plans for a comprehensive "1 hour+" documentary to be released in the coming months.

The Guitar Hero community continues to thrive, as evidenced by other events like music game streamer Acai testing out CRKD's new guitar controller in Fortnite Festival during IGN Fan Fest 2025.
