I usually rest my left thumb on the joystick for movement and my right thumb on the face buttons for attacks. Feels natural and reduces strain.
Hold the controller with your left thumb on the D-pad for movement, and your right hand on the buttons for attacks. Keep it relaxed, but firm enough to execute quick moves.
I personally prefer using the traditional grip: left thumb on the D-pad or stick, right hand on the face buttons and shoulder triggers for additional inputs. Works like a charm for me!
Just grip it comfortably and make sure you can easily access all the necessary buttons. No need to overthink it!
