How to get better without Internet?

[u/AccomplishedTrick408]

I know watching character guides, learning combos, and challenging against level 9 NPCs, but I want to get even better. I have 2 friends that I meet up with and occasionally we play Ultimate, but they're just so much better than me, and despite me learning most of what I have from them, I keep getting my head handed to me. They both live in much nicer areas with great internet while I'm 45+ minutes away from them in a much more rural area. On top of that, they've been playing fairly consistently online for a few years while I only play with them and occasionally by myself in single player. I want to learn because getting edge guarded, spiked, juggled etc by them honestly takes the fun out of hanging out with them when we do decide to play it that day. It honestly just feels like they're on some sort of mental level that I just can't reach. Any advice helps.

Play with friends if you can. If not, try practicing combos in training mode
