Is there a PCSX2 setting to make 2D games sharper or is this a quirk of the PS2?
Example
Street Fighter Zero 3 on PCSX2:

PSP version on PPSSPP:

2D games look equally sharp on SS and DC emu's so I'm thinking maybe it's PS1/PS2 limitations but I'd like confirmation
Did you tried disabling texture filtering or\and using different interlacing mode?
yeh turn texture filtering off and it will get rid of the blur. That's just standard bilinear filtering
You can try to turn off the graphic filter in the game options screen.
Thanks, I disabled texture filtering and it looks a little better...

Only when I switch to hardware mode (2x res) it's as sharp as the other versions:

BUT this fidelity only lasts for less than a second. Then this happens:

I tried messing with some of the hardware hacks but couldn't get rid of the glitches. I want to believe there's a way since in HW mode the game looks perfect for a split second...
Try software mode(F9 while game is running).
Try software mode and then go through a few interlacing modes with F5. If that doesn't help,
it's probably how the game looks on a real PS2 as well.
I know for certain that most arcade conversions look horrible on the PS2.
