Moving up past 85 APS -- Not Easy

I took a look at some comparisons vs DrussGT and Diamond. One thing that strikes me is that in a bunch of them, your survival is much lower, and DrussGT/Diamond get very high survival. This could just be a side effect of not being strong vs those bots, but it could also be a deficiency in your bullet power selection. Actually one of my most recent improvements to Diamond was in my bullet power formula.

It definitely seems like there are a bunch of matchups that should give some clues. And I agree distancing is important. I gained a bunch just from changing the shape of the curve I use when factoring distance into my danger calculation.
