Which finger do you use to swipe?

While watching a few videos on YouTube (and comparing these to my own gameplay), I realised I never really paid attention to which side of the screen most people use to swipe forwards/backwards to initiate a dash or a dex. To me, the logical answer would be to use your right hand (the right side of the screen) for both, since it allows you to continue to hold block while you attempt to dash backwards, that can save you in situations where you might have mistimed a dash by a frame or two, as well as naturally continue a combo and make relic/SP extensions easier.

I'd love to hear the community's opinion on this, especially if you have any interesting stories as to why you've committed to a specific method!

    Right hand for dashing forward, basic attacks. Left hand for dashing backward, blocking, dexing, special attacks & relic

    But I do second medium with right hand and I’ve never questioned it. Now it seems real weird.

    Fun MCOC fact, swiping right to move forward and left to run away was an idea taken from Tinder.

    I've always found it weird people use their thumbs! I think I started on thumbs but shortly after transitioned to index fingers. Right index for swipe forward and attack, left index for swipe back, block and specials.

    Left hand for all defensive functions AND first medium or dashes. No idea why. All other attack stuff right hand.

    This for me cause I'm left handed. And it's usually my thumbs.
