Thats most of string theory gone leaves only light higgs possible around 135 GEV but unlikely which is a few weird variants and a few light higgs models.

Otherwise you are up to a very heavy Higgs but the air is getting very stratified.

So the LHC says

no string/brane exotica,
no sparticles,
no WIMPs,
no supersymmetry exotica,
no extra-dimensions,
no mini-black holes,
no Randall-Sundrum gravitons,
no heavy Higgs,

Standard model holding.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
