Clone Hero streamer and content creator CarnyJared has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing a full combo (FC) on DragonForce's iconic song, "Through the Fire and Flames," at an astonishing 200% speed. This feat, described by CarnyJared as "IT. IS. OVER," was accomplished and shared with the world on February 27, marking the culmination of a nine-month journey dedicated to mastering this challenging track.
CarnyJared's dedication is evident in the video's description, where he expresses profound gratitude to his supporters on Twitch and YouTube, acknowledging their role in his success. "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 community's integral part in his achievement.
The complexity of "Through the Fire and Flames" at regular speed is already daunting, but CarnyJared's performance at double speed showcases an almost superhuman level of skill and precision. Completing the song, which lasts over seven minutes at normal speed, in just over three minutes is a testament to his perseverance and talent.
Achieving a full combo in Clone Hero requires hitting every single note without missing, a challenge CarnyJared has mastered after nearly 2,000 FC runs past the song's first bridge, 662 past the second, and only 227 successful attempts at the solo section. This 200% FC is only the fourth time he has conquered the solo, highlighting the difficulty of the task.
CarnyJared's heartfelt thanks extend beyond his online community to his family, who have supported him through the highs and lows of this endeavor. He describes the achievement as the "hardest thing" he's ever done, underscoring the intensity of his dedication and the significance of this moment in his life.
For those fascinated by this incredible accomplishment, CarnyJared has announced plans for a comprehensive documentary, over an hour long, to be released in the coming months, offering an in-depth look at the journey to this world record.
