im not a peach player, but my brother is. way i understand it, is that right when your in a float you do a move like f-air or b-air or anything, u land while doing that move while floating so when u hit the ground it takes away all lag off the move like a L-cancel. so u can do any other move right after better then a L-cancel. just float cancel is more effective and has no lag after pulling it off.
maybe some other peach player on here can explain it better, but thats kind of the whole thing about it.

Pretty much its a way to land from an aerial and be able to perform an attack faster than you would if you l-cancled. In example you can float near the ground, use a fair, and right after the hitbox comes out, you can land (during the animation) and use a d-smash/grab/dash attack/ even another aerial or what ever.

1.) Istant Float near the ground
2.) F-Air (while floating)
3.) let go of float button (sometime during the F-Air animation)
4.)D-Smash

You do an auto-float then the attack (you can do nair, fair, bair, dair, fair is my favorite tho) then hit down to FF while you're attacking so you land and you have very little lag. It's that simple.
