Waving the MP in exchange for potentially needing to spend AP on a dodge if you do collide does seem pretty balanced, especially with the modified pricing system Cole did in his blog where I think it was 2 AP for 100% MP and 1 AP for 50% MP or thereabouts.

Yeah otherwise you'd get this weird situation where if you evaded from shared-hex (face to face) to "back to back" if you were forced to exit the hex you could only do a back-kick but not a backfist.

I was thinking one balanced way might be to treat that 1 MP as a "step within a hex without exiting". The idea how you're each occupying half-ish of a hex (three of six triangles) and even if you don't accidentally hit each other, probably ended up taking some kind of less-efficient pathway in doing so.
