Gotta love SSB:M. In terms of finding good human competitors, I find the most effective thing to do is to grow your own. Get a few friends who've never played before and teach them how to play. I had to do this with MarioKart64 when I first went off to college.
It can be tough teaching one person how to play, because you're so much better than them. But if you have three people who don't know how to play, they can usually got at each other with varying degrees of success while you kick back and take the occasion whack. Eventually, they'll get to be your equals and then it's crazy fun.
Oh, and my favorite player is Jiggly Puff. I pride myself on being able to beat people with the Puff. I always thought him/her/it was the most useless player; down+b put it to sleep after all! And that's what made it worthwhile. I was most disappointed when I learned that falling asleep is actually a powerful weapon. I will never use that power!
I also love picking people up with Donkey Kong and jumping off the screen, thus killing us both. The other person totally freaks out when that happens.
