Streamer Conquers DragonForce's Through the Fire and Flames at Double Speed

Clone Hero streamer CarnyJared achieves a remarkable full combo (FC) on DragonForce’s iconic Guitar Hero 3 track Through the Fire and Flames at 200% speed.

The streamer’s own words capture the moment: “IT’S DONE.” Shared on February 27, a video showcases this extraordinary world-record feat accomplished during a live stream. As CarnyJared nails all 3,722 notes flawlessly in his final attempt, on-screen text highlights that this triumph caps nine months of relentless practice.

“I’m deeply grateful for the incredible support from my community throughout this grueling journey. I have the most dedicated fans on Twitch and YouTube,” CarnyJared shares in the video’s description.

“Together, we’ve spent countless hours analyzing the same 3,722 notes, finding every possible way to play them more effectively. Miraculously, it paid off, and I’m able to make a living playing Clone Hero, thanks to the support of everyone who’s helped me build this setup.”

At regular speed, Through the Fire and Flames is a whirlwind of notes; at 200% speed, CarnyJared’s performance is nothing short of astonishing. Completing a seven-and-a-half-minute song in just over three minutes with zero mistakes is a jaw-dropping achievement.

Earning a full combo in Clone Hero, a Guitar Hero-inspired open-source game, demands perfection across every note in a song. In-game stats from CarnyJared’s video show he achieved nearly 2,000 FCs past the song’s first bridge, 662 past the second, and just 227 through its solo section. This 200% speed FC marks only his fourth time conquering the solo.

“I’m endlessly thankful to wake up each day with food on the table and a roof over my head, all because of this amazing community,” CarnyJared continues. “My family has been there through every high and low, cheering me on during this entire journey. This moment is one I’ll cherish forever.”

He describes the 200% speed FC of Through the Fire and Flames as the “toughest challenge” of his life, and the joyous celebration after his successful run reflects the immense effort invested over nine months. For those eager to learn how such a feat is possible in the world of Guitar Hero and Clone Hero, CarnyJared hints at a forthcoming “1 hour+” documentary in the coming months.
