This all depends on the developers themselves, and since Alex is pretty much nonconforming this prediction, this is completely out of the picture.

They've made enough updates to the UI, honestly, and they're just as unique as any other unofficial Smash game out there, as of current.

Baby steps, my dude. Their team size compared to SSF2's is pretty staggering; possibly 5 times smaller. So, they're just going at a decent pace, as they're just like you and me, they have lives too, to top it off.

- 4. Battlefield's design will be slightly different and it'll include Day/Night system similar to Smashville.
5. Final Destination will be redesigned and the background will look similar to Melee's FD.
Battlefield and Final Destination in this game is already unique in its own right; it's totally fine as it is.

- 6. Almost all of the previous stages from past versions will return, and some new ones might be in as well.
There's a possibility that this could be do-able, but please take into account that their dev team is much smaller compared to most other games out there. (Look at 3. as it's an estimate.)

- 7. Ultimate's airdodge will be added in as an option.
I... don't think this will ever come into fruition, cause they made a mini-UI system, in the character select screen, to choose between 3 different types of airdodges. Implementing this one into the game, would increase the complexity of balancing the game as a whole by one more level.

- 8. There will be an option to change the HUD style. (Crusade, Original (Smash 64/Melee), Complex (Brawl/Smash 4), and Ultimate.)
Eh. I like the idea, but again, the dev team is small, so I don't think it'll ever happen.

- 9. More Smash veterans will be added in. (Roy, Young Link, Zelda, Sheik, Pit, Ike, Wii Fit Trainer, and King Dedede.)
Just like respriting and updating movesets, baby steps. It takes quite a good amount of time to even add 1 character, such as concepts, trial and error to try and make it so that said character is glitch-free as possible, and balancing that character as well.
- Taydo wrote:
- 10. New characters will be added in. (I'm not giving it away because i'm not sure.)
I honestly don't think you even know what new characters are even in the works as of now, heck even I don't know who's going to show up.

- 11. Home Run Contest will be included in Stadium Mode.
A great idea, but I believe it's going to take a while for it to happen.
- Taydo wrote:
- 12. Battlefield and Omega formed stages will be a new option.
This alone is too much work for the devs as of now. Technically you're doing 3 times the work on making each stage, which takes 3 times as long to even add them in, cause of spriting.
- Taydo wrote:
- 13. Online will be much different and improved.
Again, it takes time for it to improve, due to how small this team is.
- Taydo wrote:
- 14. Adventure Mode will be included. But it'll be heavily inspired by Melee's Adventure Mode.
I'd be down for any kind of Adventure Mode, as it's good single-player content alone. Sadly, it's going to take a long while for it to even happen due to their dev team size again.

These lists of predictions are 'OK' at best, but it comes down to Dev Team Size being the issue, among the entire thing, honestly. I'd like to partake in there development cycle with the game, but I've got my plate full on other things, such as IRL scenarios, gaming projects, schooling, work, you name it.
