OMG, yes! SNES controllers were horrible for fighting games. It surprised me when the SNES was dead and done that out of all the controller add-ons we saw no one, outside of Capcom, released a good fighting pad in my opinion.
I wish we had seen fighting games have SNES levels of presence on the Saturn but that simply was not meant to be. Sega certainly knew how to make an awesome controller. Again, I am surprised at the lack of good variations of the Saturn controller for other platforms - especially considering the fact that so many fighting games are available now, and the myriad of classics re-released on those platforms as well.
Come on Sega, us fighting game fans need that controller brought back.
