Hey all!
Writing this post since #1 I can't seem to find a comfortable position to play in and #2 I attended Gridlock 2024 and a lot of people were holding the controller in a different way, so I also want to hear opinions why people hold it like that.
Anyway, I finally enabled motion controls somewhere around November 2022 (I played with sticks and somehow beat After Alterna like that. I still don't know how lmao). The first problem I got into is that I felt like I needed my hands to rest on something, since that gives you another 2 points of stability when playing. I tried putting my hands on my wooden desk and that was not super comfortable since my hands would stick to my desk. After tinkering a bit more I found out that the best setup is to put my mousepad where my hands lie, that way they don't get as tired, my hands can slide more and I still get my stability from putting two hands on a solid surface.
But I also see a lot of people hold controllers with their hands on their legs when playing. Especially after seeing top performers at Gridlock almost universally preferring this setup. I tried it a bit today and I could kind of see why since I feel like you get slightly more freedom of movement, especially for looking up and down. But I also found that my controller (Regular switch pro controller) is constantly decentered and I have to reset its position. Also I feel like this position locks up your shoulders and flicking is harder than the "desk" setup, especially since I feel like it's way more easier to overshoot. Also just for knowledge my sens is +5 sticks and +1.5 motion.
Interested in what you guys think. I feel like both of these setups have their own advantages and disadvantages.
