How can I better understand punish game as Marth?

I'm a bad Marth player -- still working on consistency with SHUFFL, ledgedash, etc. I'm kinda starting to learn about neutral and defense options, but when it comes to punish game and/or combos, I'm helpless. I get a grab and it goes nowhere. I hit a couple up-airs and then my opponent just double-jumps away.

I know it's important to keep working on movement and tech, but I feel like I'm missing something fundamental about punish game and combos. I don't even know what/how to practice. Anyone else struggle with this? Any tips?

I'm a Marth player who's trying to learn. I know people generally regard dash-dancing as one of the easiest tech skills to learn, but I'm struggling with consistency & duration. I can do it for 10-20 seconds but then I inevitably mess it up. It feels like my thumb gets fatigued, but that might just be due to a lack of muscle memory.

How did you get consistent with dash-dancing? Is there a particular way you place your thumb on the joystick? Does practice just require repetition, or is there some kind of practice routine I could do?
