I hv seen a game where a player opened with h4 in a tournament and the opponent went with e5 for control. For me I would rather play h5 or e6 and Ke7 for no reason whatsoever

I'd play Nf6, or e5, or d5, or c5 ... all would be fine. White probably wants to castle queenside and try an aggressive kingside attack, so I'd start expanding in the center/queenside early on, to make their queenside plans less desirable ...
