What the heck... I give a serious look at this page of the topic and I find people trying to use the touch screen for Smash... WTF?
Theforeshadower: You can customize your button setup on Brawl. You can also make it so that you cannot jump by tilting the control stick up.
The same can be done for the DS... As for [default] button setup...
A = Standard Attack
B = Special Attack
R = Guard (with +left or +right, evade)
L = Grab
Touch screen: Taunt
X and Y can be used to jump or whatever.
Another possible button setup can be:
A = Jump
B = Standard Attack
Y = Special attack
R = Guard
L = Grab
Touch screen: Taunt
But like I said before, the DS version of Smash (whenever, if ever hopefully) should have the option to allow you to customize your controls. Customization is a beautiful thing...
Also, WTF is this all about emulating the N64 Smash Bros.? The DS is only so powerful- you'd have to port it... And even then, maybe Nintendo could fit more characters in by making it sprite-based... Or maybe making the background sprites, like they did with New Super Mario Bros. I bet they could fit a whole bunch of stuff if they do that.
My complaint with every Smash game except the first one:
Up for jump.
Why? It accidentally hit up so many times. I prefer a simple button.
Hence, if Up on the D-Pad was jump, I would only play Smash DS with my Phat.
Those of you who have both a Phat and Lite know the reason why.

Turn tap jump off. Problem solved.
%#^#$!!! Beaten to the punch!
Well, I doubt an analog stick would be coming anytime soon. I think playing with the d-pad would be fine. It's hard with the Wii Remote because you have to use it to jump as well but a button could easily prevent that problem.
Grab an "analog stick simulator"... I doubt they're sold anymore anyhow... But I have one and I used it to play Mario 64 DS. Works decently well once you get used to it.
