Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's renowned Guitar Hero 3 track, Through the Fire and Flames, at an astonishing 200% speed. This remarkable feat was accomplished after a dedicated nine-month practice period, culminating in a successful run that CarnyJared captured and shared on February 27.
In his video description, CarnyJared expressed profound gratitude to his supporters, stating, “IT. IS. OVER.” He highlighted the collective effort and time spent mastering all 3,722 notes of the song, emphasizing the crucial role his audience played 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 remarked.
The video evidence of this world record showcases CarnyJared's final attempt, with on-screen text underscoring the nine-month grind leading to this moment. His performance at 200% speed, condensing the seven-and-a-half-minute song into just over three minutes, is a testament to his skill and dedication.
Achieving an FC in Clone Hero, an open-source game similar to Guitar Hero, means playing a song from start to finish without missing a single note. CarnyJared's stats reveal his progress: nearly 2,000 FC runs past the first bridge, 662 past the second, and 227 to the solo section. His successful 200% FC on Through the Fire and Flames marks only his fourth time passing the solo.
Reflecting on the achievement, CarnyJared shared, "This is a moment that will live with me forever." He acknowledged the support from his family and fans, which enabled him to pursue his passion and make a living from playing Clone Hero. He described the 200% FC as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, a sentiment echoed in the celebratory atmosphere following his successful run.
For those intrigued by this incredible accomplishment, CarnyJared has announced plans for a comprehensive "1 hour+" documentary to be released in the coming months, offering an in-depth look at his journey.
