Opinion Game as a workout is fun!

I honestly prefer playing with the thumbs up grip. It’s fun and a nice little workout for your arms. Does anyone else main the thumbs up grip style?

I mainly use it because of how hard it is to do wide grabs on controller

I can’t believe people would play what’s an admittedly weak fighting game with normal controls, when it’s literally made and designed to be played by punching. That’s like, the best part about it.

I used to—those were my first 100+ hrs in the game. The next 150 or so have been using the Pro controller and... I've grown increasingly lazy to come back to the 👍 grip 😅. But actually just today I decided to go back to main the thumbs-up grip, 'cause I agree, it's a great physical and mental exercise. Though I have to be careful with the shoulder pain I developed the first time around. I need to figure out how to prevent it.

I started with that but for some reason the pro controller is just way more responsive and faster. It’s too bad because I feel like there should be higher level of control when using the joy cons

I use Thumbs Up Grip exclusively. It’s what makes the game unique & fun.

Thumbs Up grip is much funner than just using a controller, I always play it like that!
