Pushing Buttons: Intelligent Solutions for Ambiguous Player Controls.

I rest my thumb on all the buttons but I slide my thumb over on top of the button I want before pressing down, so I guess that counts as precise.

My thumb is too thin to rest on any more than two buttons. In fact, the SNES pad's buttons are too far apart to be comfortable for me. I have no choice but to use 'precise' controls.

Apparently a lot of y'all have bitch hands.

I'll flatten my thumb to press "A" (the bottom button), and for the top and right buttons i'll press them the precise way.

That's exactly how I am - when playing a lot of games, anyway. If I'm playing something like a fighting game I'll take a more precise approach, I guess. But usually it's more of a mix.
