The English

Do many people on here play the English opening: c4? What do people tend to play in response?

I'm sharing that Question.
What sould be the Best defence against White C4?

1...e5, 1...Nf6, 1...c5, 1...c6 are a few plans for black.

Most people play 1...e5.

I believe 1...c5 is the best though.

yeah i have played c5 before ... don't like reverse sicilian by playing e5

i play Nf6 when playing with white's c4

Black could go for a Reverse Sicilian (1...e5), such as the Reversed Dragon, or the Symmetrical Variation (1...c5), or an Indian Defense (1... Nf6, after which White can transpose with 2 d4), or 1...c6 (after 2 e4, black has reached a well-known position in the Caro-Kann) or even 1...g6. Flank openings typically have a lot of potential for transposition, so it's a good idea to study a few opening "systems" (the Botvinnik system, for instance) with which you can deal with specific "setups" for Black, instead of large numbers of lines.

I might study up more on English as there is a majority of players who play the opening
