The easiest solution is to use L and R at the same time.  My complaint is fixed.  

I'm not a fan of motion controls. I don't understand how they could overlook something as basic as inverted controller options. as is I'm aiming all over the place as I'm not used to this

Isn't L and R at the same the blast/jump move?

EDIT: Ah, I see. I hadn't even tried the bumpers yet despite playing for 3 hours haha

Thank You!

The default controls were unbearable for me. Played 2 hours at launch, and was not enjoying it at all due to the controls. I just set it up with what your suggestions, and it is actually playable now. Just put in another hour with these controls, and I'm really enjoying it.

Everything else is top notch so far. I just can't believe the default controls are so horrible.

No worries, glad to have helped. :)

And yeah, like i said, it blows my mind that the controls are set as they are by default when the alternative is so much better. Not sure what they were thinking.

I love it. One of my favourite games in 2019 and my top Switch game next to BOTW.

Okay, the game is overall excellent, I have come across my first significant reservation.

I just beat the Piano ghost boss, and he was really, really fucking annoying. He wasn't hard per se, as he dropped enough health that I never died to him, but the process of beating him was just extremely irritating and just plain not fun.

First off, he does one of the worst video game boss tropes; that thing where he can only be  damaged in a very small window and in between those windows there's painfully long stretches where you have to dodge his attacks and wait for the next one. This really strained my patience and just felt like my time was being wasted.

Secondly, any fight that involve having to suck up an object then shoot it at the boss is an exercise in pure frustration, because the aiming for this is absolute garbage. Without an over-the-shoulder view or any adequate indication of where you're aiming, just trying to line up a shot is a nightmare. To makes matters worse, the stick sensitivity is way too high; the slightest nudge of the right stick had Luigi turning like 60 degrees when all I was trying to do was aim slightly to the left. 

I hope future fights don't focus on this mechanic so much, because it's a huge flaw in what is otherwise a superb game. I'm genuinely worried now that I may not finish the game, if a future boss fight is even worse than this I might genuinely give up on the whole game. Which would be a real shame.

Finished the game last night. Easily GotY 2019 for me. Loved the coop and creativity. Only minor complaint I had was the last boss was kind of a PITA.

Yum!
