Title: The controller
Post by: Magoo on November 17, 2002, 05:46:54 PM
Out of curiousity, who else holds the controller with only one finger from each hand on the shoulder buttons.  More specificly the pointer finger.  I think it grew on me since the SNES but some games expect you to have two fingers back there.  Everyone I know hold it like me, though.

everyone online is a fukin comedian, you\'re not special with the uneeded sarcasm so keep your smart comments to yourself dumbass.  I said out of curiosity.  And yea some games require equal attenetion to each 1 and 2 button such as most ESPN games, SSXs, Street, and Frequency.

sometimes i find it really hard to use both fingers on both buttons.  Particularly when i have to use the analog sticks.

I usually only use one finger, unless i have to use both.

tick....tick....tick....  that\'s the sound of the countdown until you get your ass banned.  You need to relize that these boards are filled with sarcasm and friendly insults.  If you let it get to you, and take it seriously, you\'ll probably end up going insane or giving yourself an embolism.

I hold the controller with the index finger of each hand resting in the spaces between the L1/L2 & R1/R2 buttons for easy and convenient access. Well, that\'s the excuse anyway, to be honest, that\'s how I\'ve always held a playstation controller

As for how I hold the controller, who the hell cares?

He does.

He was just wondering.

It was just a question.

If you didn\'t want to answer the question, you shouldn\'t have responded to the thread you ****ing aluminium foil covered chocolate coated ******.

I\'ll usually just use my index fingers.  But if a game requires all 4 buttons to be simultaneously hit, then the others go up there also.

I use different fingers for the shoulder buttons..... I rarely use the thumb for X, Y, [ ] and / \\.

Well I only have one finger on the trigger buttons I just prefer it that way.

It all depends which game you\'re playing.

Fighting - Left hand as normal, Right side of the pad balanced on the knee using the index and middle fingers to hit the face buttons, just swap your grip for throws.

Driving - R1 and R2 should always be change up and change down not that stupid paddle shift thing, the only thing your left hand should be doing approaching a corner at 200mph is steering, so two fingers on the right shoulder buttons and one on the left (for rear view)

Third person - keep all buttons covered as controls in third person are usually more complex.

FPS - same hold as the driving just using both mushrooms.

This is the first time I\'ve sat down and read how I do things, god I\'m strange!

If someone is gonna be sarcastic at least do it right.  Not for a question that makes sense.   Plus it\'s been done before a million times so TRY to make yours original.   Instead, TheGay1 just embarasses himself thinking everyone is gonna follow him in his hopeless attempt to be funny.

i like to get a grind going on a pool (with the perfect ballance code on) and then place the controller over my penis. The vibrating sesation really gets my noodle going.

To get back onto topic, I personally use two fingers on each hand for the shoulder buttons. It is how I have always done it and IMO feels more natural.

I just use my index fingers on the shoulder buttons, and that\'s always worked fine for every game I\'ve played.

Actually that wasn\'t sarcasm.  Sarcasm would be:

"I really want to hear your views on controller/penis holding." :rolleyes:

Don\'t forget that little rolleyes bastard at the end.  But back on topic, let\'s talk about how totally sweet I am.  OK discuss.  You guys have 2 sentences in your post to say what you like most about me.  GO!

The only game Ive really had to use both fingers with the R and L buttons is SSX. They got all technical with the tricks and moves.
Oh yea and Tekken. Gotta love it.

I usually use one finger...

But when I play madden online I use my feet.  Only way I can make it fair.
