I've recently picked up peach to help with Sheik's floaty matchups ( I play PAL) and I can't float cancel nair at a fast pace consistently, I know the inputs (I use Z) but is there a rhythm I need to do in order to float cancel nair consistently?

Its not much as a rhythm as much as it is just getting used to the timing, and with time, you will build speed. Just keep practicing it and you will naturally get faster with them.

if you know how to input it there is nothing to say except 'keep practicing'

Hold down on control stick
Hold jump/ and let go of stick
Press attack
Let go of jump and fastball with control stick down

Repeat. But of course you already knew that. Take it slow and practice. I have never used z for attack, but I'll try it. Try all sorts of methods and inputs. See which works for you

Since it's a lot of inputs to do all at once, one way I used to practice it was to break it up into pairs/groups, inputting the groups as quick as I could and taking pauses in-between.
