Bulk of your sp will come from consistently landing smashes and stacks. I've learned from experience that risking a guillotine is sinply not worth it half the time over just performing a f2nd or 3rd smash unless you are positive you can pull it off.
Something I personally like to do include using little rat at the end of every combo while trying to start each combo out with a kd. You are given some sp if they connect along with a nice buff to make your gameplay more stamina efficient allowing you to essentially never have to wait for stamina to regen. These gains ofcourse won't be huge but it does make a consistent difference in the longrun.
You are able to use KD and cancel all kinds of animations including trans and windstep.
Load up KD by holding your right mouse key but immediately dodge out while still holding your rmb. Any action you do afterwards will immediately be cancelled by KD when you release your rmb.
Edit: hmm this seemed to have been ninja patched as it is not currently working for me.
