Super Smash Dad

Help me level up my Super Smash Bros Ultimate skills just enough to show my kids who's boss.

When we first got the game for Switch, my kids crushed me. I spent a night practicing with Donkey Kong -- simple smash battlefield mode vs CPU's -- and the next day I was king. Woo!

But they quickly improved and left me in the dust. I'm too disorganized a player to figure out how to get back in the game. I've been trying to use Yoshi instead because he's faster and has better recovery, and I generally know their moves, but I don't understand how to string things together, counter, stay off the edge, etc.
Unlike my kids, I get unlimited screen time. Seems like I could spare half an hour now and then against the computer to try to get better. We don't have online accounts so I don't have anybody else to practice with, but I think there's still enough to learn from the computer anyway.

My oldest son is a purist who likes to play with no items and final smash meter disabled -- often in battlefield mode as well so there's fewer stadium hazards / less luck involved. That's where I need to find some way to improve.

I'm willing to change characters if I must, but preference would be DK (in gray fur, so they lose to "Old Man DK"), Yoshi, or mmmaybe Wario (because he makes them laugh).

So, scene by scene, what does my training montage look like?
