Took me 30 hours of Cuphead to realize I was holding the controller wrong
My girlfriend pointed out I was playing with my index fingers on the triggers and middle fingers on the bumpers, and suddenly parrying actually worked on the second try, has anyone else had a controller grip revelation mid-game?

The bumper vs trigger thing is actually backwards for most people. Index fingers go on the bumpers and middle fingers on the triggers, especially in fighting games like Street Fighter where you need quick access to both. But Cuphead's parry is the bump button by default, so if you had your middle fingers up there, you were probably hitting it with the wrong part of your hand and missing the timing window. Took me about 10 hours to realize I was gripping the controller way too tight and it was messing with my reaction speed on the dash. Once I loosened up and let my fingers rest naturally, the whole game clicked.
