        Hmm, that depends.  Say, prior to having 15 total fights of
experience (Tournament fights counted as 1/2 a fight) He managed to last
about 8-9 minutes against solid defensive warriors, but I was running
8-6-6 for 3 minutes, then down to 3-2-3.  Then in an adept tournament, I
ran him 5-3-5 against TP's he went 5-3, going 3-0 against TPS.  The
longenst any fight went was 6 minutes, and only 1 went beyond 4 minutes.
These first half of the statement was valid for the rest of his career
(Which unfortuanately did not quite get him to ADM).

Normally, the response tactic will do diddley squat.  However, if
you are facing an opponent using decisiveness tactic, you will normally
obliterate him.  Case in point, a slasher of mine with 6 Decise skills,
Master Init, AdeX Attack fought a striker who I knew was 2 skills short
of his Decisiveness Master (I should say I now know he was).  I was
running 5-7-3 response against strikers in the first minute.  The only
thing the striker did in the fight was
        1.      Get hit four times.
        2.      Dodge 3 attacks
        3.      Parry 1 attack
        4.      Get frantic
        5.      Get badly hurt
        6.      Get sorely wounded
        7.      Halt momentarily to catch his breath twice
        8.      Bow his head in token of surrender

If your opponent is not using the decise tactic though, you will
then you will be in a fair bit of trouble.  If you start your PS out
aggressively, the only way you should be getting into trpuble is if
someone is faster than you.  If this happens, there is a good chance that
he is using the desice tactive, not always, but it's more a tactical
decision.
