GreenSuigi has been practicing the stars/routes that aren't already included in 70 star for the past few months as he gets ready to make the big jump to 120-star. It's been quite a bit of time, but he's close to being wrapped up with his individual star practice, in which he will move on to his next goals of segment rta runs. This, I'm sure will still take a bit of time, but it's one step closer to Suigi doing 120-star where it feels end times will come.

Before that, though, Weegee has been practicing SM64 again after taking about a month off because of the MoistCritikal speedrun challenge (he won btw), and he is able to pick up categories again real fast, so he might get WR before the end of the year quite realistically. I would have to say Weegee was basically considered the "Suigi" of SM64 before Suigi started Suiging everything in that he dominated his categories and seems to just have this unnatural skill in the game. Arguably, he's the 2nd best runner in the game right now in world-record runs (not in competition runs, though, I feel he's too much of a perfectionist for his own good in PACE/tournament formats), and with Suigi being literal months behind, Weegee easily has the 2nd most potential in the category at this moment.

Liam is basically right there, though, but he just hasn't been able to put the run together in years. Only being 11 seconds faster since his first 1:37 a couple years ago, despite pushing his sob down, his paces down, and nabbing so many best pace ever out of x stage is honestly a little disappointing. Out of everyone, he's probably got the widest gap in his potential to actual pb. Even if he gets a run that is WR pace after carpetless, I think there's a mental block that prevents him from getting three clean bowser throws on WR pace (he lost a run a couple nights ago to throws once again). I feel like he honestly needs to be up by 30 seconds going into the final stage to World Record at this point.

Puncay has gotten so many low 1:38's and 1:37's this year alone that, as I mentioned, with that consistency, it would not be shocking for him to just keep getting pb's past the current WR he just set.

Then you got Japanese runners, Marlene and Karin who have choked quite a few WR-capable runs in Rainbow Ride that you just feel like if they keep getting one run a day in Rainbow Ride, one has to convert eventually.
