Seriously, I've been gone for 3 years, and no one uses Bonewalking still?

Real talk. I saw some recent footage of Brawl Peaches (particularly Dark.Pch getting a pretty nice win, congrats bro!). The metagame seems to have evolved along the lines we were heading on when I left, particularly with regards to the MK matchup, except...

I have yet to see a single Peach utilize a Bonewalk since I quit playing.

Guys, it's not that hard. I've picked up harder techniques in Project M and Melee over the last few months. Why doesn't anyone Bonewalk? It's a *huge* advantage to Peach's spacing.

I actually have to see someone use it well first. I cannot see what match-ups it would be great to use in.

It's really good in any matchup turnips are good in. It lets you pull a turnip while retreating. I think it's actually most effective against Metaknight than anyone, and probably Marth second Both characters are usually too fast for you to get much space to pull turnips.

I used to use when I move the C-Stick for B-Stick. But at the moment I'm using C-Stick and it is very difficult for me to use bonewalking with down + b. Terrible. --'

If anyone is struggling with Bone Walking, hova(?) came up with a good way of doing it.

Try doing the Fox Trot/Turnip pull and actual Bone Walk separately - input the Fox Trot, Turnip Pull, allow the left stick to go back to neutral and then push the left stick left/right.

You won't cover as much ground during the Bone Walk as you would if you just slide the left stick diagonally from down to left/right but it does mean you're more likely to actually perform a Bone Walk rather than just Fox Trotting into nothing or Turnip Pulling without actually moving.
