Title:
Pressing Joystick in opens Friend Menu when using a single Joycon on Switch

Summary:
When using a single joycon in any mode (turned sideways), single player, local versus, online versus, pressing the joystick in like a button triggers the friend menu to appear. This is super annoying when trying to introduce the game to new people who can’t help but press the button in during the highs of combat.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use a single joycon in any mode.
  2. Press the joystick in during combat.
  3. Be annoyed that you’re looking at the friends menu

Expected Results:
Pressing the joystick should do nothing, the friends menu is still accessible via the pause menu.

Actual Results:
Friends menu appears and when playing online blocks you from the action
