Streamer Achieves Full Combo on Guitar Hero's Toughest Song at Double Speed

In a monumental moment for the *Clone Hero* community, renowned streamer and content creator CarnyJared has accomplished what many thought impossible: a full combo (FC) of DragonForce’s notoriously difficult Guitar Hero 3 track Through the Fire and Flames — played at a blistering 200% speed.

The achievement, described by CarnyJared himself as “IT. IS. OVER,” was posted on February 27 during a live stream that captured his final successful run after an intense nine-month practice grind. As he launched into the attempt, on-screen text reminded viewers this was the culmination of relentless effort and dedication to mastering every one of the song’s 3,722 notes without missing a beat.

“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,” CarnyJared shared in the video’s description. He further expressed gratitude for the community that helped him analyze and optimize every section of the song to increase efficiency and accuracy.

Through the Fire and Flames, already a legendary challenge at normal speed, becomes nearly incomprehensible when played at double tempo. Watching CarnyJared conquer a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes with zero mistakes is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Achieving a full combo in Clone Hero means playing the entire song without missing a single note — a feat that requires not only technical skill but also immense mental focus and muscle memory. On-screen stats from CarnyJared’s stream revealed how rare success truly was: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second bridge, and only 227 reaching the solo. The 200% FC seen today marks only his fourth time passing the solo section.

“This is a moment that will live with me forever,” CarnyJared reflected emotionally. “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 extended deep appreciation to his family for their unwavering support through both highs and lows during this grueling journey.

Calling the 200% FC of *Through the Fire and Flames* the hardest thing he’s ever done, CarnyJared celebrated the victory with the same intensity it took to achieve it. Fans can look forward to a behind-the-scenes documentary, expected to be over an hour long, that will detail the preparation, failures, and ultimate triumph of this incredible milestone.
