Streamer Masters Guitar Hero's Hardest Song at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved the seemingly impossible: a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's notoriously difficult Guitar Hero 3 track, "Through the Fire and Flames," at a mind-boggling 200% speed.

His triumphant announcement, a simple yet powerful "IT. IS. OVER," accompanied a video posted on February 27th, showcasing this incredible world record. The video itself is a testament to his dedication, with on-screen text highlighting the nine months of relentless practice that culminated in this achievement.

In the video description, CarnyJared expresses his gratitude: "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. 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."

Even at regular speed, "Through the Fire and Flames" is a daunting challenge. Witnessing CarnyJared conquer it at 200% speed is almost beyond comprehension. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is an extraordinary feat.

Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, the open-source Guitar Hero alternative, requires flawless execution—not a single missed note. The video reveals CarnyJared's impressive stats: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and a remarkable 227 to the solo section. This 200% FC marks only his fourth successful completion of the notoriously difficult solo.

"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," CarnyJared adds. "And I also thank my family, who has not only supported me my whole life, but they all specifically watched and supported this entire grind at my lowest and highest points. This is a moment that will live with me forever.”

He describes the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, making the celebratory reaction following his success entirely understandable. For those eager to learn the secrets behind this superhuman achievement, CarnyJared promises a "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months.
