After a lot of practice, I can finally do this almost every attempt. In this video, I show the way I do this and try to explain this in detail.
I can actually see this being done in a single segment speedrun. Once you start shoving the bulblin, you can take up to 02:25 off the clock, and it will still save time over getting Ordon sword and shield in a SS run. It should always take several seconds less time than 02:25 to get the bulblin into the correct position. It just requires patience and knowing exactly when to attack. The trick will always work if the bulblin is in the correct position.
The reason this trick usually has a high failure rate is positioning of the bulblin. Too much of an angle away from the wall, and you won't get the S&S skip. Too much of an angle toward the wall, and you won't get the S&S skip. Before the bulblin attacks, his head needs to be in alignment with the center of the black line in the wall.
I use wolf senses so you can see the line that I'm talking about. It is difficult to see it without wolf senses on normally and would be impossible to see it in this video if I didn't use wolf senses. The black line in that wall is what is used to base the bulblin's positioning. Using a side angle (not sure if you can do a side angle on Wii since you don't have manual camera control) seems to help me a lot. It should help you see exactly where the bulblin is in relation to the wall before you attack.
With any% speedruns, this trick will still probably be annoying as hell since you have line everything up quickly and hope the bulblin only attacks you once or twice before attempting the S&S skip.
Does this only work on gamecube

@cheslap It works on Wii. Abchimpas has a speed run on Wii that uses it.

why do you have the hylian shield on your back?

@sandwichofshadows Doing the Back in Time glitch automatically gives you the hylian shield. Then when you turn into a wolf, the shield is still on your back.

I`ve found a dead end with this glitch in the goron mines! The wooden sword will not hurt the mini boss. Although, if you do the fixed early master sword glitch, you will be able to beat him. A theory I have is that you can beat Lakebed temple before doing this by midna/zora diving into lakebed temple and use the oocoa in that temple to steal the bomb bag and go to Eldin Bridge and get water bombs and beat the temple, but i Havn`t tried it yet. Thumbs up so everyone can see!

@CallofGir Wooden sword also won't hurt City in the Sky boss. And yeah, you can beat Lakebed before Goron Mines, or you can just skip Goron Mines altogether.
