Smash Bros How do you practice / train?

Before this game I'd practice on Brawl and Melee with a team of 2 Level 9s vs. me. Of course, I didn't always win, but it was the most challenging form of training I could use. For this game, For Glory 1v1 people can be really difficult (and annoying) so I mainly use that to get a good taste of what I'm up against.
As mentioned above there's only really one way to train and that's to just throw yourself against a couple of 9's.
Also, pick a character you will really enjoy to train. You're going to spend a lot of time practicing with it so you have to enjoy it for it not to become a chore. After you've picked your character you can read the wiki/guides for more in-depth information. You can also watch either videos or streams online of players that use your character and sort of get a hint of how to play.
Just play a lot, enjoy your game and whatnot and you'll get better over time.

I tend to use 1v1 For Glory for my training, if I'm trying to get better with certain characters, I'll smash a few times with them and hopefully get used to common match-ups with them (Little Mac, ZSS, Samus, Bowser, Ganondorf, Ike, Marth, Mario etc.)
However a really professional Palutena user really caught me off guard last night, they were so good with their spacing and close ranged too, they especially knew how to combo with Palutena's grabs, even getting easy grabs onto me by doing a single jab hit and rushing up to me, throw me down and combo with it.
It was really fun, it was a shame I had to go after about 10 matches with em, I'm sure they had fun too because I wasn't the typical Ganondorf user who tends to Flame Choke alot.
Otherwise I'll play around with a Level 9 AI when I'm offline.

I don't think that's true, especially because the AI plays pretty different than a human player.
Yeah you've got a point, but I feel like it would be more reliable though, until you start beating them with ease.
In terms of reliability, yeah, it's more reliable than playing For Glory, which has a wide range of skill level. I think the most reliable thing, though, is playing with one or two of the same people a lot.
It is, however, finding those people are quite hard.
I try facing donkey kong level nine when I haven't played in awhile, eventually when I'm done with DK I go fight Bowser
Me and Jav right. B)

I don't train by fighting level 9s, it doesn't help me much. I just practice my combos in training mode against tall stationary characters like donkey kong. I also practice recoverys and techniques in training mode.
Little Mac's pretty vicious too.
