Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary feat by completing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 song, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable accomplishment was shared with the world on February 27, marking the culmination of a nine-month journey dedicated to mastering this challenging track.
In his video description, CarnyJared expressed his gratitude, stating, "IT. IS. OVER." He acknowledged the unwavering support from his community, 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."
The sheer difficulty of Through the Fire and Flames at regular speed is daunting, but CarnyJared's performance at 200% speed is nothing short of mind-blowing. Completing the 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, a feat that CarnyJared has accomplished only four times past the song's solo section.
Reflecting on the impact of this 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 extended his thanks to his family, who supported him throughout the entire process.
Describing the challenge as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, CarnyJared's celebration following his successful run is well-deserved. For those eager to delve deeper into this incredible journey, he has promised a comprehensive "1 hour+" documentary in the coming months.
