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!
