Streamer Masters Guitar Hero's Toughest Song at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's iconic Guitar Hero 3 track, "Through the Fire and Flames," at a staggering 200% speed. The monumental event, captured and shared on February 27, marks the culmination of a nine-month journey dedicated to mastering this challenging piece.

In his video description, CarnyJared expressed immense gratitude towards his supportive community, crediting them for enabling him to make a living through his passion for Clone Hero. "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, emphasizing the collective effort that went into analyzing and perfecting the sequence of the song's 3,722 notes.

The feat of completing "Through the Fire and Flames" at 200% speed is mind-boggling, especially considering the song's original duration is cut down to just over three minutes at this accelerated pace. CarnyJared's on-screen statistics showcase his journey, highlighting nearly 2,000 FCs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 successful attempts through the solo section before achieving the full combo on this fourth pass.

Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared heartfelt thanks to his family for their unwavering support throughout his life and especially during this intense nine-month grind. He described the FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a testament to the dedication and effort required to reach this pinnacle.

Fans eager to delve deeper into CarnyJared's journey can look forward to a comprehensive documentary, expected to be over an hour long, to be released in the coming months. This documentary promises to provide an in-depth look at the challenges and triumphs of achieving such an unprecedented feat in the world of Guitar Hero and Clone Hero.
