This is the exact reason why dsm's get the name they have today and are unreliable.

Check fluid
Make sure its bled correctly
Check the adjustment rod on the pedal
Check master/slave
Make sure transmission is fully flush with block
Check clutch fork and pivot (fulcrum) ball
Check Throw out bearing

If you say there is no pedal pressure until almost on the floor it sounds like it wasnt bled properly. Either that or out of fluid, bad master or slave cylinder, or the adjustment rod is not adjusted correctly.
funny that you say this is half assing. we used all brand new mitsu parts and ran a hard line. this is what kyle at ma told us to do to fix it. and bam it works great. but yes you are correct aboput everything. you probably need to adjust your clutch peddal.

heres a link to a few good video's on how to do it
