Since stage builder was included in patch 3.0.0, I think it's fair to rank what may or may not be included in future patches, as well as my personal probabilities of that happening.
Multiplayer Story mode: 80%
Online tourney mode: 80%
Ability to change BF/FD a la spirit mode (floor is lava, wind, slippery stage, sticky floor): 50%
More options to tourney mode (double elimination, being able to switch characters, BO3 games): 50%
More options to training mode (hitboxes, DI lines): 50%
Target Test: 50%
Target Blast: 40%
Betting on spectating: 30%
Home Run Contest: 30%
Coin launcher/Trophy rush (but for spirits): 30%
Traditional online (able to change characters between matches): 25%
Smash tour/Smash run: 10%
Rivals of Aether style tutorial mode: 10%
Event mode: 5%
Conquest mode: 5%

Well... most of those weren't new modes, just new options for some of the existing modes...
but I'm surprised you put Home Run Contest so low, seeing as it was leaked, and has recurred in all smash games, with easier effort than anything required for all characters.
Anyway, I took the list of actual new modes and compiled it below, as well as adding a few of my own:

Fully New Modes:

Target Test:
Target Blast:
Board the Platforms:
Race to the Finish:
Home Run Contest:
Coin launcher:
Trophy (spirit) rush:
Smash tour:
Smash run:
Event (Branched) mode:
Conquest mode:
Boss Mode:
Detailed Tutorial:
Vault Demos:
Movie Sequences:

Improvements:

- Training (more options shown, such as hitboxes)
- Tournament (double elimination, being able to switch characters, BO3 games...)
- Stage Builder (respawn point, task based boards, adding used assets, multiple songs...)
- Online (for more of the modes, more options)
- Spectating (Betting, challenging players)
- Stage Selection (adding in spirit effects, more switch options)
- Fighting Types (return of Coin Battles, King of the Hill zones, Hold The Shine)

More specific Special Smash. Fight against metal foe while giant or against an invisible foe while default.

Home Run Contest seems the most likely as there was evidence for it in the code and it wouldn't take a massive amount of effort to implement
A Boss Rush mode doesn't seem too out of the question, as again, most of the components are already there
I'd like to see a fixed All Star Mode and the return of Target Smash, but neither seem too likely
And Smash Run remains a pipe dream because of the work it would require

Smash Run was one of the coolest modes in Smash because you got to figth actual nintendo annemies (From a wide selection of franchises) and not random goons like in subspace.

It probbaly won't come back but at least it gives us a reason to go back to 4 once in a while :T

Could they repurpose KO-able ATs as the enemies of Smash Run? There was already some overlap back in Smash 4 3DS.

Those are some high probabilities (not all of course but I'm looking at most of the ones 50% +). Target test being 50% but home run is 30%?
Sure, I'll give you co-op adventure mode and possibly bo3 in tournament (after all you can see where you pick the rules, they all say best of 1 but you could actually never change that for some reason in tournament), but I honestly can't see the others being that high of a chance. I get it's speculation and what we think, but I don't think it's realistic.
If it isn't the 'classic' mode from Sm4sh, then I have the same question.
Wasn't that part of smash 4's online where they had teams and you contribute to it by winning or losing when using certain characters?

Anyway, I'm expecting at least co-op adventure mode sometime since they went ahead with co-op for spirit boards back in 2.0. Home-Run is another one that's at least somewhat in the code already and should be one of the easier modes to implement. Boss Battles sounds like a possibility too since we already have bosses.
