I'm pretty new to Skullgirls and fighting games in general, so I apologize in advance if any of this stuff seems really obvious / stupid.

So I was watching some Skullgirls competitions and gameplay, and I noticed that the combos and resets used were different each time. Currently, what I'm trying to do is to learn a basic combo which I use whenever I get a hit confirm, but I was wondering if if would be better if I were to learn what combo strings work and then sort of tie them together during a game which is what I seem to be seeing. Could I get some advice on this?
 
If you're new, just learn a BnB.
That sort of "tying strings together" is only done without failure by those who played their characters a lot and know combos perfectly. And they only do that when they are doing a combo that started with some undizzy left or with an unusual starter. And even then, what they usually do is go for a shorter version of one of their BnBs.

Doing that kind of thing for a beginner will only lead to plenty of failed combos and IPS triggering.
