Training Methods
Truly, this is more of your own preference. I started out practicing through Classic Mode, gave me a feel of different enemies. I always practice against level 7 CPUs, but to start out, stick with level 3. Never, ever, EVER practice against level 9 CPUs. They are perfect at shielding, and are just unhuman like, which you never want to play against.
Meeting friends and playing against them on Wifi is a great way to practice and get better. You can find people with the following links:

My preference is the first link, which leads you to http://www.fsmash.org/ . Very friendly community, easy to use website, it's just perfect. (Thank-you P.I. !!!)
That mostly raps up everything I can think of at the moment. Please comment or messege me if I should add something else.
