Waku waku 7 auto/manual meter charge?

anyone know which is the default play method for this game? On fightcade for some reason it seems to go to autocharge during versus, but in arcade mode it is manual. Then there’s another player who says when they go to versus and play themselves, the meter is set to manual charge. But when he plays someone else, it shifts to autocharge. But when I play myself, it sets it to autocharge. Not sure it is a fightcade issue or what.

So does anyone know the way the game was intended to be played? manual or auto charge?
