Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce’s challenging Guitar Hero 3 song, Through the Fire and Flames, at a staggering 200% speed. This incredible feat, completed after a grueling nine-month grind, was shared with the world on February 27, 2025, and marks a new world record in the gaming community.
CarnyJared's triumphant moment was captured in a video posted to his channels, where he successfully hit all 3,722 notes without a single miss. The intensity of the final attempt was palpable, and as the on-screen text highlighted, this was the culmination of months of relentless practice. In his video description, CarnyJared expressed deep gratitude to his supporters on Twitch and YouTube, acknowledging their role in his journey. "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 stated.
The streamer also reflected on the collective effort that went into mastering the song, saying, "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 Through the Fire and Flames at its normal speed is already a challenge, but witnessing CarnyJared play it at 200% speed is nothing short of mind-blowing. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes is a testament to his skill and dedication.
Achieving an FC in Clone Hero means playing the entire song without missing a single note. CarnyJared's video showcased his progress, with nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 to the solo section. The 200% FC of Through the Fire and Flames was only the fourth time he successfully passed the solo.
CarnyJared's emotional response to his achievement was heartfelt. "This is a moment that will live with me forever," he said, expressing gratitude not only to his supporters but also to his family for their unwavering support throughout his journey. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he’s ever done, making the celebration following his success well-deserved.
For those fascinated by this monumental achievement, CarnyJared hinted at a forthcoming "1 hour+" documentary detailing his journey, expected to be released in the coming months.
