I really don't like the arcade stick, but the ps3 controller is also no good, so I was wondering if someone can recommend me a fighting controller or something like that? links if possible. Thanks!

For what reasons do you dislike the PS3 pad? Knowing this can help us recommend you a new pad.

the D pad, if I use the ps2 controller I can do a SS or CS with Ivy, no problem, but with the ps3 one, if I do a 236 is an achivement XD. Maybe a PS2 converter could help :P

The D-pad is pretty much exactly the same from PS2 to PS3 as far as I know, so I assume it's all placebo on your part. But if you prefer old school d-pad, get a PS1 controller and buy a converter for that - awesome d-pad of a PS controller without bulky "triggers" and analog sticks.

The d-pad looks the same but it's not. Even the newest ps2 controllers use the updated model. I had this problem too. My d-pad gradually seemed more smooth after countless hours of play but I cant truly say it's as good as a classic ps2 controller. The trigger R2 and L2 also creates ambiguity with when the attack activates so its hard to encorporate thos buttons for JFs.

A classic ps2 controller with a converter seems like a decent option for your situation. Unless there is another reason the pad isn't working out for you.

Perfect solution i guess... any good converter?
 
I use my DualShock 3 controller for both SCIV and will do the same thing for SCV and so far I have no problems with it.:D
 
I'm currently in the testing phrase of the Hori Fighting Commander 3 Pro. Got it for 22$ at amazon, and it's wired too. So far tests have been generally positive... those large buttons are rather snappy. I can do mitsu b:A and k:B with considerably less effort than with the normal pad (not that it was hard before, but with the bigger buttons it's easier, like on a stick).

Other features include the ability to switch the right shoulder buttons with left ones, the ability to tilt the d-pad a few degrees, and the ability to make the diagonals wider or more narrow.

Those with 20$ to spare may consider it.
 
Looks pretty nice, my only beef with it is that it isn't for PS3 and Xbox. I own an Xbox but most events use a PS3 so I would have to adjust to a new controller every time I play on PS3 because there isn't an equivalent model for the 360. If it wasn't for that I'd totally buy one. XD
