After seeing my old Super Smash Bros on the DS thread revived and some recent discussion on the lack of fighters on the DS, I thought it might be time for a full discussion. 
 
In order to progress a discussion, we first need to take a look at what actually is on the DS in respect to fighting: 

Playing a fighting game on the DS is just a bad cramp waiting to happen.

as much as i love the DOA fighting games, a old school Street Fighter game on the DS would be pretty cool. though the DS isn't the best platform for fighting games. 

I would love to see a new Clayfighter game on any system, same goes for a new Darkstalkers. Though on the DS I would be afraid of them trying to add in some crap gimmick with the stylus and it would ruin it.

"I'd want a Super Smash game on the DS more than anything, preferably one with all ot the levels from the N64 game. But a portable version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo would be welcome as well."

Where do you live, 2005? DS games barely even have stylus control anymore dude. "

Has to be 2D, and relatively simple. 4 button games are best suited to the DS's control style, so I think any SNK game is a good bet. I would love a port of Garou: Mark of the Wolves for the DS, or a King of Fighters game. Or  a GOOD Guilty Gear/BlazBlue game.

None, The DS doesnt need a 3d fighter. Wouldnt mind if there were more 2d fighting games on it.

The GBA Mortal Kombat games actually worked really well, it's a shame they chose to simply port one of the old games to the DS rather than make a new one for it.
Hopefully that's something we'll see in the future..

Yes they are done pushing the stylus. That's why Links choo choo adventure just came out and that doesn't have any stylus related controls at all... "

Killer Instinct for sure! A classic, and i think it needs to be reborn. Or maybe a Street Fighter could be cool.

I'd love to see a street fighter.  
 
By the way, did anyone else see that they are putting a Blazblue spinoff on DSiware?

A DS version of Smash Bros. seems like a no-brainer.  I thinkt he dual screens would also make it a good fit for fighting games with plenty of aerials and high jumping (see:  MvC2, Arcana Heart, etc).

I would love to see a chibi version of Darkstalkers/ Vampire, and Samurai Shodown. There is actually a chibi version of the later already, it was released for the Neo Geo pocket. 

Killer Instinct, or Shaq-FU, or Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style

Personally, none. The small screen and cramped controls just wouldn't work for me. I also don't do any online stuff with my DS so that would completely eliminate any reason for me to get a fighting game for it in the first place >.>
 
Now if they did a spin-off like Super Puzzle Fighter for it, that would be great. some sort of crazy Project Justice (A series I see missing from your list *AHEM*) Adventure game would be really cool.

I'd have to say SMASH bros. The two screens seem to provide the necessary verticality.
 
I think any system could benefit from another Bushido blade.

It would be a good fit on the XL only imo.  
  
Nintendo do have console titles they could effectively bring to DS. Pikmin being another.  

As Nintendo DS has its own unique advantages, it would be possible to create a gameplay-control mechanism which would be good for and unique to Pikmin."

You know what, I really, really love that look and wish they had have made the effort and gone with a bigger, fully fledged DS game.  Chibi anime is so my thing and the gameplay sounds right up my alley.  Harddcore gamers will whine though. "

But but but, What about that Jump Ultimate Stars?
 
It is like SSB with Manga characters. It proves that we can have a decent SSB. They'd just need to make some new textures. I'd be fine with a full on 2D SSB.

I would love to see some Street Fighter action on DS.

I remember having a blast with Tekken Advance. I'm pretty sure that a good Tekken game could be made for the DS.

I think most of us would probably prefer a 2D SSB to give it the chance to be a very deep game.  The characters would pretty damn sweet I believe. "

If they make this (and they fucking better) I Don't want no god damn fucking subspace shit. No story. Classic mode and silly killing only. "

I would definitely like a 2d fighter, with no stylus controls. I can't imagine a fighting game could be done well with a stylus.

All i want is a street fighter game on my DS.  Give it some online play and I think it'll have as solid of a community as Mario Kart.
