Tekken DS

Tekken DS (鉄拳DS) is a fighting game released for the Nintendo DS. It is non-canonical to the Tekken storyline, but follows the events of Tekken 5. It uses sprites based on Tekken 5 '​s HD models for its characters. It was the second Tekken game to be released on a Nintendo platform.

This is the sequel to Tekken Advance.

Gameplay
The gameplay in Tekken DS is similar to other games in the series, but because it is on a portable system, the inputs were simplified or removed altogether. It utilizes a single-input system, with punch mapped to the A button, kick to the B button, and the left and right triggers used for tagging and throws, respectively. The game also included a side-step feature that made the game have a 3D feel.

Despite the simplification, Tekken DS introduces new mechanics by implementing a wide range of "stun" variations such as "pop stuns", "crumple stuns" and right/left stuns.
