I want to get into competitive Pong...

The title says it all. I'll let you know where I'm at right now. So, I've been playing Pong since 2007 or 2008. Pong Arcade was the one I played first. I never owned it, because everyday I would go to my friend's house to play with him. I was 10 or 11, so this didn't bother me. We continually played Pong Arcade until 2009 (?) because we were 10 and had no idea there was a sequel coming out. By the time we got Pong for Atari 2600, my friend and I were starting to grow apart. I would still go over every couple of days, but it wasn't the same... In turn, I didn't play Pong for Atari 2600 as much and that's probably why I never really enjoyed it as much as Pong Arcade. So, as I was growing up, I heard about Pong for Xbox. I figured this was the perfect time to get an Xbox. So I eventually bought my own Xbox 360, which came with Tetris. I played this game, and I was hooked. I lived this game. It was addicting for a good year and a half. Pong for Xbox didn't even cross my mind. My friend, Brett (?) lent me the game. I had to say, Pong had changed. With the introduction of armor abilities (especially sprint) I felt like the game had really stepped up. I actually really enjoyed Pong for Xbox, far more than Pong for Atari 2600. But it was weird. I hadn't played Pong in a good 2 years, and I was still going to the top of the leader boards, almost every game. Why? Was I selected to be good at this game? Was there something about my strategy that was really good? I doubted it. So I started to look into Competitive Pong. Because I loved Pong since I've been playing it, and I really wanted to play this game in tournaments. I also thought I could make some new Pong friends, because all my friends didn't like Pong that much. So as I'm looking into MLG, I realized I'm really not that good at all. But I could be so much better. So I suppose my question is, what's the proper course of action to get into competitive? Which games should I be playing to improve my skills? Pong Arcade? Pong for Atari 2600? Pong for Xbox? Also, what game modes? What settings? Controller layout (I currently use Bumper Jumper, on a 3 sensitivity). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
