Old console games had significant boarders on NTSC tvs too, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, soem SMS games and such. (worse for 50 Hz still though)

Fortunately, after Sega set the trend with the Dreamcast, 60 Hz options were getting more commonplace for PAL games. Those allow games to be run in PAL-60, which uses the same resolution and refresh rate as NTSC. In fact, the PS2 only outputs NTSC instead of PAL-60 whenever a 60 Hz option is enabled. But even then, it was just a small handful of developers that actually implemented this as a standard.

With the PS2 it wouldn't matter if RGB or YPbPr component video were used, PAL and NTSC 60 Hz should be identical. (S-video and Composite matter though, you'd only get B/W in PAL due to the different color carrier)

SMS games are HORRIBLE for overscan. I swear the average person could mistake them for being in widescreen on a 4:3 TV.

Exactly. That's why every modchip and other import tool for the PS2 came with the advice to buy an RGB SCART cable.

Without having played this, I don't know what it's like, but from judging the video: wow, it looks horrible to me. Looks like a copycat of SF and MK combined and a poor attempt at that. I've always been pretty picky when it comes to Fighters though, my list is small:

SF
MK
KI
DOA
