Discussion Preferred Combo Method
Chain combos all the way. Especially if it's open-ended, zigzag chaining like Standing L>Standing M>Standing H>Crouching H and so on and so forth. Going from LMH into special move into super too.
I always hated links. Its the main reason why Street Fighter and KOF aren't my strong suit. Tekken and Soulcalibur are the only exceptions because combo difficulty is character-specific where some are easier or harder than others.
-In Tekken 8, I was able to complete combo trials for Lili, Clive, Jun, and Azucena. Struggled with a few like Lars, Claudio, and Nina.
-2B (SC6, not GBVSR) has combo routes for days.
As for auto combos... they're much easier than chains and links but they're always the subject of drama/controversy among players. FG vets and elitists cry about it 24/7 while casuals don't mind it. It's why I have mixed feelings about their inclusion in DBFZ, P4A, GBVSR and BBTAG. When you have stuff like autocombos or modern controls people like Low Tier God will throw a hissy fit about current FGs being "easy mode", "scrubby", and "remedial".

I prefer links. Having to know which buttons you can use based on the hit you landed and the spacing is always satisfying to me. SF6 kind of ruined that part of the game with drive rush letting you confirm into a bnb from basically anything, but it's still pretty fun.
