Don't both of those OHers use roux? I mean its really fast but I think the fastest OH roux single I have seen (unofficially) was a 7 and both those times are extremely fast even at home.

Yes, they use roux. Kian has at least two unofficial 6's (one of them is 6.1x). I think those times unrealistic in comp so soon though, considering that there is only one official sub-8 single and the average has dropped by about half a second in the past two years.
 
Here I go:

2x2: 0.3, 1.1
3x3: 4.3, 5.5
4x4: 17.9, 19.8
5x5: 36, 43
6x6: 1:14, 1:23
7x7: 2:00, 2:10
3x3 OH: 6.80, 10.0
3x3 WF: 18, 25
3x3 BLD: 16.9, 21
Skewb: 0.9, 2.3
Squan: 5.3, 8.0
Pyra: 0.8, 1.8
Mega: 27, 31
Clock: 3.4, 4.9
4x4 BLD: 1:27
5x5 BLD: 3:40
3x3 Multi-BLD: 50/51 59:59.65

A lot of those are just guesses based on the current WRs.
 
I'm gonna say the 3x3 single will be sub-4 then, and the average sub-5.5
A sub-16 3BLD single will have been achieved as well, along with a sub-16 4x4 solve.

Hmm it feels very nice that somebody believes in me ;) but this result is impossible (officially) in speedcubing as we understand it today. Its technically possible if
-we improve mbld organisation and conditions at comps
-somebody is fully sponsored and does it fully profesionally
-somebody is crazy determined
I would like to be proved wrong, but I dont think it will ever happen, and IMO we will never see >45 points in mbld

Maskow has that 49/50 at home so I think we could see around 50 points officially, it would be insane but I think it is possible

That actually seems quite realistic, but maybe just a tad unoptimistic.
 
2x2:0.39,1.3x
3x3:low 4,5.4
4x4:like 18,21
5x5:34-36,40
6x6:1:10,1:20
7x7:sub 2,2:05
oh:low 6,low 9
bld:16,21
fmc:18,22.67
feet:sub 20,25
pyra:low 1,high 1
skewb:low 1,low 2
megaminx:26,32
clock:3.5,sub 5
squan:low 5,low 7
4bld:idk low 1 minute
5bld: idk about 5bld but I think sub3 maybe
3bld:46 points

my predictions( assuming no sudden jumps as it seems unlikely they will happen as hardware doesn't seem like it can improve too much, I think magnets were responsible for the jumps we've seen this year)

Btw. You may have guessed I like to be pessimistic
