Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved a remarkable feat by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 track, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This incredible achievement was documented and shared with the world on February 27, marking the culmination of a grueling nine-month journey.
In his video description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, “IT. IS. OVER.” He acknowledged the unwavering support from his fans, saying, “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 emphasized the collective effort, noting, “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, and somehow I am able to sit in front of this computer which you have all cumulatively provided to me, and make a living playing Clone Hero.”

Watching CarnyJared navigate "Through the Fire and Flames" at 200% speed is a testament to his skill, reducing the song's usual seven-and-a-half-minute duration to just over three minutes. Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, an open-source game similar to Guitar Hero, requires hitting all 3,722 notes without a single miss. CarnyJared's on-screen stats show he reached nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 through the solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful pass through the solo.
Reflecting on the 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 thanked his family for their support throughout his life and during this challenging endeavor, describing the 200% FC as the “hardest thing” he’s ever done.
The celebration following his successful run was well-deserved, given the effort invested over the past nine months. For those intrigued by this extraordinary accomplishment, CarnyJared announced plans for a detailed documentary, over an hour long, to be released in the coming months.
