Fatman, luckily for you smashbrothers doesn't require a super high level of strategic prowess. I think you're safe in that department. Victra is right, play the game for fun ESPECIALLY if it's an online event. Really, to get better at smash takes only a few things. Firstly decide on a main. Secondly read about that main. Thirdly watch videos of professionals playing your character. All of this is obvious, and I don't want to insult your intelligence with telling you this, but this is all you have to do. Look at every little "combo" pros do, and incorporate it into your gameplay. It's not THAT hard, and not even that time consuming, just takes a minor amount of concentration.
