Barracuda Challenge

Are you Wave Surfing? Trying to get it perfect? There are a lot of things a wave surfer needs to address. One major thing is dealing with simple targeters with good and/or provocative movement. Kawigi's Barracuda 1.0 is a bot that's pretty hard to hit. But a bug in its targeting makes it always fire with Head-On Targeting (or very, very close to head on anyway). A simple Musashi Trick bot will easily outscore Barracuda with 90+%. But since Barracuda doesn't always move out of the way when you try to squeeze by it close to the wall, a Musashi Trick bot can't reach scores like 99+% over a 1000 rounds battle. But a wave surfer can. RaikoMX and Shadow both excel in this game. Here's the result of a 1000 round battle with RaikoMX 0.32 vs Barracuda:

1st: jam.RaikoMX 0.32	106266	50000	10000	38555	7711	0	0	1000	0
2nd: kawigi.sbf.Barracuda 1.0	592	0	0	578	0	14	0	0	1000

See if you can beat that. Let's make it a contest:
