"In the Options menu, under the Controls section, you can switch the Fight Type setting from the default Digital to Analogue. This is a more realistic control mode for advanced players which gives you better control over your character's attacks. You may find it more immersive and fun, so feel free to give it a shot. In the Analogue fighting mode, the right stick is used to swing your weapon, while holding. Move the right stick to where you'd like to start a swing and then quickly move the right stick to the opposite side, move the left stick in the same way you want to move the weapon.
Whichever of one of the two control settings you choose, you can check the controller layout in the Controls menu at any time. "
