Yeah, vs Decise it's great, otherwise you fight a bit worse than
normal.  I've seen slashers, strikers and PS use it to very good effect,
either in the first minute or when desperate.  At a FtF, I was up against
one of the warriors I was fighting by proxy.  The opponent was a Master
Decise Parry Strike, I had an Expert +1 Decise Lunger.  The PS was going
10-6-6-Decise, so I said hell, 4-8-4 Response.  Lo and Behold, the lunger
got a clean jump (no moving about mind you) and won the fight on 6
straight attacks (1 was parried).  So if you know their is going to be
some decise out there, by all means use it.

Actually, that's the best use of it.  Myu slasher go 5-7-3
Response when desperate on a semi regular basis.  But then again, the
Slasher is the only style I've never gotten to ADM.
