Most people said that a PS2 was best for fighting games so thats where i went. My roots are with Nintendo though and i'd much prefer to stay with them if they had all the fighters.
My thinking is that we all know how much the SNES pad owned. Absolute BEAST for pulling off dragon punches all day long. Thus i would like to try out that new Hori Digital Pad on the PS2 to see if they've kept the Dpad as good as it was.
There are loads of PS2 to GC converters but does anyone know of a GC to PS2 converter?!

Edit: Oh and, I'd avoid experimenting with your PS2 if I were you. I got a controller extension cable for my PSOne a few weeks ago, and using it seems to have completely fried my PSOne's ability to generate any rumble feedback (the controller's just fine, it's my PSOne that's gone FUBAR).

. Anyways a Gamecube pad wouldn't work on PS2 since it lacks a select button a L2 placement button and the L3, R3 (control stick click buttons).

Eh, the Playstaion controller is basically a SNES controller with handles and two extra shoulder buttons. I'm quite surprised you don't like it for fighting games, especially since that's the one genre its d-pad centric design is actually useful for.

button placement btw is fine. no worries at all. just the darn Dpad.
there are those street fighter controllers coming out very soon and ill try one of them to see if they've nailed the Dpad. hope they have :-/

never played in the arcades that much so pads have always been my preference.

Personally, for a fighter I'd use it because it manages to hit diagonals way better than a good portion of the controllers out there. Especially for any continuous motion move like the spinning pile driver.

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
In other words, the PS2 controller is a mess of legacy garbage that should get a complete revision next gen. There's a reason both MS and N use the primary-stick layout (the reason is that modern games are mostly 3d). Especially Sony, who reject 2d games, should not put a dpad as the main control.
