Kings Pawn Opening sees steady use, with a respectable ~52% win rate, but some variations like the King's Knight Variation clearly bring on the struggle bus (a modest 27%). The Indian Game also brings some sparkle with over 70% wins.

Not exactly bullet speed, but steady enough to keep opponents guessing.
