I have two of these controllers and they are great. I would compare them to the sauturn pad, but the top three buttons on the Street Fighter controller are the same size as the bottom buttons. I find this to be much more comfortable than having the tiny three top buttons on the Sauturn pad. The only downsides is that the controller is very light, no vibration feature, and I would have relocated the start/select buttons. If you play Capcom fighters and you can't find a joystick for the PS2 that you really like, I would say that this controller is a must.
