I believe this is good but not very specific advice. Not only should you work on your spriting skills, you should also be sure that you're completing a complete sprite sheet so that you have at the very least, all the required sprites + those necessary for moves you desire that particular character to have. Depending on the size of the moveset, you may or may not have several hundred sprites to complete per character.

Legitimately good spriters earn a lot of respect in the mugen community and you'd be more likely to find someone to help code for your characters. Whether you get help or not, it's always a good thing to learn as much about coding yourself if possible. Coding is hardly ever black/white or right/wrong and even if you find someone to help you, it's rare that they would happen to be willing to complete it entirely solo.

The more you know, the more you can do to develop an average or below average creation into a memorable gem. The more you are able to do yourself, the more willing people will be to help. In other words, learn as much as possible and eventually time will be the only limiting factor.
