I just started taking a interest in SMS after watching averagetrey's WR history videos both any% and 120. I'm noticing looking at the any% rankings six 1:14 runs have been posted in the last month. This seems way beyond anything that'd be considered normal in my experience with speedrunning. So my question is did something big just get discovered or is this some insane community hot streak?

A few strats have been discovered but nothing really ground-breaking, people have mostly just been grinding a lot
