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 historic moment was captured and shared on February 27, marking the culmination of a nine-month journey of relentless practice and dedication.
In his video's description, CarnyJared expressed profound gratitude towards his supporters, stating, "IT. IS. OVER." He acknowledged the invaluable role of his community on Twitch and YouTube, 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 further highlighted 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."
The challenge of "Through the Fire and Flames" at regular speed is daunting, but CarnyJared's performance at 200% speed, completing the seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes, is nothing short of spectacular. Achieving an FC in Clone Hero requires hitting every single note without a miss, a testament to CarnyJared's skill and perseverance. His video showcased his progress, with nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 reaching the solo section. His successful 200% FC run marked only his fourth time passing the solo.
Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared, "This is a moment that will live with me forever." He expressed deep appreciation for his family's support throughout his life and specifically during this challenging endeavor, stating, "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 described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, underscoring the monumental effort behind this achievement.
For those intrigued by CarnyJared's journey, he has promised a comprehensive "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months, offering a deeper look into how such an extraordinary feat was accomplished.
