Maybe it's just an "eventhubs" thing, but why is Wario so unpopular? He strikes me as a really underrated character? :p

Also I've been learning to read people more, but is it just me or is air dodging/rolling insanely hard to punish? Like I'm well ahead of the enemy about to roll, but the timing is so strict my punish misses.
Wario is unpopular mainly because he has a decently high learning curve and takes a lot of patience to play as. Wario's range is terrible for most of his attacks so getting hits in means waiting for mistakes or baiting your opponent into certain positions. That said, Wario is much more rewarding of defensive and reactionary tactics while an aggressive Wario will likely get knocked around a lot. A lot of Wario's playstyle revolves around punishing simple mistakes. For example, Wario's bike punishes excessive rolling while Wario's Chomp punishes excessive shielding and spot dodging. Waft is one of the best trump cards against weak attacks or ending lag in the game. To be good with Wario means to be able to manipulate your opponent enough to control the match, even when you're down. This is a fairly tall order and most people's lack of patience gets the best of them. As I said before, he's not someone you can pick up and play and being good with him means have a good understanding of the neutral and capitalizing as best as possible when your opponent is in a state of disadvantage.

I would say yes, not only does for glory suck sometimes (roll spams, little macs, bayonettas, etc.) but as they say: losing makes you stronger than winning. This piece of advice might not be for everyone but losing doesn't mean you suck especially on for glory where there's lag and exploiters take it as a chance of exp. rather than shame. You should have just as a big of a chance as anyone else.

Hey, not all Little Macs are bad! I put a lot of work into my main. :(

I could use your help! Is Mac a good character for learning to stay put on the ground? I love to fight in the air, but I'm not sure if that's a weakness of mine? Also he's an underdog character through and through; I'd love to become good as him just to get revenge on all the FG bullies :)
