well really considering we are not having sanctioned tournaments it is really up to you how you use the maps.
Not really, this isn't to do with tournament play. If the rules require a hex map, that's what we'll need just to play. If the rules require 2 x regular SSB maps, that's what we'll need just to play. If we're talking about GenCon and everyone has to bring a map, that's fine, but I'd rather see a set of rules that considers the realities of casual LGS play, rather than tournament play.
I would like to see a rule set that allows me to play using what I already have, and without requiring me to either buy another starter, or find someone else who has a 2nd map. It should be playable right out of the box, meaning a new player could buy a standard SSB starter and be able to play. Anything else really isn't "SSB 2.0" to me.
I hope I'm not being misunderstood here, but I think my concerns are along the same line as what Boris is saying. Having a 2.0 ruleset that is playable immediately out of 1 starter I think would be a great thing to see, and would do far more for getting people interested in playing.
