How exactly would a traditional brawler work on a touchscreen?
Mobile games that have virtual pads and buttons on the screen are usually terrible.
A touch screen is a different medium, games have to be designed with its advantages and limitations in mind, by necessity, it changes the rules of play completely.
For a good adaptation from mouse/key to touchscreen, look at the Doom3 spinoff game for iPhone.
Brawlers are twitch games. You need immediate, reliable control over your character.
Arguably, you could get a clamshell joypad/button attachment for a mobile and thus turn it into a Gameboy/PSP style device... or you could just buy a DS or PSP and run OpenBOR on that.
Maybe you just don't want to look for your Final Fight and your Contact List in two different places?
A RPG with turn-based combat which reused 2D assets could be cool, you could make it play on a grid like Fallout and spend points on movement, regular attacks and charging special attacks. I would play that!

I agree what's the point of touchscreen for brawlers. I hate mobile phones in general but I loathe iphones...But there is actually some pretty good retro wireless controllers you can get now that would turn iphone into a decent portable system.
You'd still be better off with a cheap modded Nintendo DS or PSP anyway. Hell even building your own gameboy with raspberry pi would be cheaper than the goddam iphone.

I second this!! A UWA would be great!! Emulators use OneDrive for their roms so maybe OpenBOR could use it for paks. Also if it were made a UWA, it would work on Desktop/Tablet, Windows 10 Mobile and now with the anniversary update, XBOX ONE!! I think it's a very nice idea.
