c5 is the 4th most common. I doubt it ever was the most common

It does make a lot of sense. The most versatile move, countered with the most versatile response. Compared to the other copy-cat lines, when black is just worse

Don't think  it's the only one. I also copycat against the English.

You should stop smoking that thing - whatever it is.

For 1. e4, what is the most common response? I guess c5.

What i mean is that black doesn't have as many options as with 1.Nf3 Nf6, and usually white is better in most lines

What is the most common move 1 by Black in all openings combined?

If the answer is Nf6, should be called "copying" or making a good move?

Think it's probably c5.

Most common against e4

Pretty common against d4

Very common against c4 and Nf3
