Help me improve! (Melee - Puff main)

[GucciFish]

Hey everyone, I'm a Jigglypuff main in Melee and I'm very new to the competitive aspects of the game. I'm able to wavedash on command and L-Cancel most of the time. I'm not posting this to be chirped, or made fun of because I know I'm not very good and I'm really looking to improve.
I ask the people I play with to give me some tips but all that they say is "Work on your spacing and your movement" which I do not understand completely. Could someone please expand on this for me? I also get "swerving in the air" which I somewhat understand, but not entirely.
Also if anyone knows just general stuff that a Puff needs to be good at, please let me know! No hate please, I'm just trying to get better!
