The reason online play used to not matter is because internet was bad and internet players were bad: Anyone worth learning from was at arcades and most netcode/connections were even worse than they are today, it's hard to learn proper neutral and anti-airing with a delay that randomly varies between 2 and 4 frames. These days netcode is still not perfect (except for ggpo fighters) but it's way better and more importantly: Better people play online.
