C25 Vienna Game: Alternatives to 2...Nf6 (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 exf4)

This is similar to the King's Gambit as I don't like either opening all that much. I know this particular opponent quite well, he is better at tactics than I am and almost every time we play blitz he usually gets a better position, sometimes he is even up a piece or something but his time usage gives me usually the win...
