It's cool because once you feel that you know where that flat part amongst the analog stick is, you just have that feel for Bone Walking. I dodged an Ike's Fsmash with Free pull. lolololol
It has a hint of glorious in it.
Float?
That's what I thought too.
I'll just post this here. Added the B Tier to my in-progress BStick vs SStick list, as well as some color stuff.
-----
SS (Smash Stick) vs BS (BStick or "Special Stick")
My current list, based on people I've played and general knowledge about the characters' playstyles.
Now added Tier B. I decided to add a little color bar, similar to a matchup list, based on my views of how recommended I would consider the stick.
BStick to SStick.
So...
Red BStick = Probably best to use BStick.
Orange BStick = BStick is more beneficial, but SStick is still viable.
Yellow Stick = Both BStick and SStick have about an equal benefit.
Light Green SStick = SStick is more beneficial, but BStick is still viable.
Green SStick = Probably best to use SStick.
Tier S
[collapse="Meta Knight"]Meta Knight - Bstick is very useful in the matchup, because Peach generally has to play more defensive in this matchup anyways. It gives her a semi-reliable escape option from his tornado, lets you space away from a lot of his moves when he's on your face (and doing any actual attack would result in shield > shuttle loop), and, to be honest, she doesn't need SDI as much as one would think.
Tier A
[collapse="Snake, Diddy Kong, Falco, Wario, Ice Climbers"]Snake - Tossup, but I felt more comfortable using SStick, as turnips don't really help as much as one would hope and this matchup is more about pressuring. Plus, the slide doesn't really help much with his wicked tilt range, and if he reads it, he can just DACUS at you.
Diddy Kong - Haven't played any good Diddies, but given the matchup, I would assume SStick would be preferred for better banana control and possibly SDI on his multihit moves (fsmash, jabflurry)
Falco - SStick. Not even a question, considering his laser game will shut down any slides we do anyways.
Wario - SStick, I believe. Haven't played a Wario since switching, but bair (and other aerial) spacing is vital to the matchup, and I don't feel as safe with Peach's grab release > usmash without SStick to usmash for me.
Marth - BStick, I think. It's another case of spacing away from the character, possibly even at him if he's close to a tipper range (just to throw him off). I'm not really sure, though, since I'm horrible vs Marth.
Ice Climbers - SStick, because Peach is already very strong against ICs, and I can't imagine the slide being all that useful. If the ICs can't grab you, they can't grab you. If they can, all of the turnips in the world shouldn't be able to save you.[/collapse]
Tier B
[collapse="Olimar, Pikachu, King Dedede, Mr Game & Watch, Lucario, Zero Suit Samus"]Olimar - SStick, for sure. Peach really doesn't gain very much from turnips in this matchup, and being able to agilely move out of his smash range while floating and aerialing is crucial.
Pikachu - SStick (I guess, not sure), if anything because SDI'ing out of his dsmash is far easier, though the BStick spacing could be useful against some Pikachus' playstyles.
King Dedede - BStick or SStick. Each has their benefit in this matchup, and I believe that neither is really better against Dedede himself, but rather more based on how the player tends to play the matchup. For those who like taking the MU defensively and avoiding grabs more, then BStick is the way to go. Want to go aggro and pound him to the ground? Then use SStick. Dedede is really probably one of the few characters I'd recommend either control scheme evenly.
G&W - SStick, I guess. BSticking might be more useful for all I know, but I haven't really practiced my Beach with my friend's G&W enough.
Lucario - BStick or SStick. This is more dependent on what you know about the opponent, I believe. If the Lucario tends to play campy, especially at higher percentages, BStick might be a better tool, as it lets her keep up a little better with his movement and lets her camp just as much. SStick might be good for more aggressive Lucarios.
Zero Suit Samus - Not sure, but I'll go with SStick. Turnip sliding is a little unsafe if the ZSS expects it, as the whip can catch much of an area that you can slide around.[/collapse]
Tier C
Toon Link -
Kirby - BStick would probably be best. Considering most of Peach's aerials are beaten out by Kirby's bair, being grounded is generally a safer option anyways. Plus, I've noticed that many Kirbies like to grab, and considering his grab range isn't the best, it's a decent bait.
Fox -
ROB -
Pit -
Peach - So, how about that Peach ditto? IMO, the ditto gets far more interesting once B-sticking becomes part of the equation, especially if it is a B-Stick Peach vs a S-Stick Peach.
Donkey Kong -
Tier D
Luigi -
Wolf -
Zelda/Sheik -
Sonic -
Ike -
Sheik -
Ness - B-Stick. Let's be honest, it doesn't really matter how well we space aerials when his fair outranges everything we can do. Plus, the biggest potential move we have against Ness (grab release CG) is unaffected anyways. It also makes it harder for Ness to get a grab off on us when it's kill time, which is pretty major for Ness.

No, it won't. This place isn't for social discussion.
