Clone Hero sensation CarnyJared has made history by completing a flawless full combo (FC) of DragonForce's notoriously difficult Guitar Hero 3 track "Through the Fire and Flames" - at double speed.
"IT. IS. OVER." - A Historic Gaming Milestone
Yesterday's stream captured the climactic moment when CarnyJared conquered all 3,722 notes perfectly at 200% velocity. On-screen text revealed this crowning achievement came after nine relentless months of practice.
In his emotional post-stream statement, CarnyJared expressed gratitude: "I couldn't have done this without my incredible community on Twitch and YouTube. Together we've studied these 3,722 notes relentlessly, optimizing every possible movement."

Anatomy of a Superhuman Achievement
For context, the regular-speed version challenges even skilled players. Witnessing CarnyJared's double-speed run feels downright impossible - completing the normally 7.5-minute epic in just over three minutes without a single missed note.
Stream analytics revealed staggering statistics:
- 1,996 FC attempts past the first bridge
- 662 successful crossings of the second bridge
- Only 227 reaches of the solo section
- Just 4 complete solos mastered before this historic FC
The emotional weight of this achievement wasn't lost on CarnyJared, who called it "the hardest thing I've ever done" and promised an in-depth documentary covering his journey.
