How do/did you learn to play? (jlai.lu)

Just a general question for people who are playing more than just occasionally. I'm trying to learn the game enough to at least take part in local events/tournaments as a way to develop a hobbie and meet people, but I'm not sure how to go from just dabbling to actually becoming decent.
I went through the "Art of Smash" video series on Youtube, and now I just play online in public arenas with random characters to get familiar with them, but it doesn't feel like it's really helping get better, mainly because of the online being so bad (even on a 2Gbps fibre connection it feels like I'm playing in slomo).
What do you guys do to become better?

Also remember that while you will have peaks and plateaus, there isn't an upper limit on getting better really. As such, there won't really come a moment where your "good", just moments if getting better.

Enjoy the process and let it happen, don't beat yourself up when you need to take breaks.
