This, however, does not mean that you'll go 41% faster by pushing down two buttons, it's actually much lower than that (because of inertia, friction yadda yadda), but significant enough to be useful on all levels
This means that the hypotenuse becomes sqrt(2) times longer, or ~1.41 times longer than your normal vector. But the length of the hypotenuse also becomes your new speed, which can be calculated by using the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2. And the resulting hypotenuse is what becomes your new direction of movement. However, if they aren't opposing, they will simply be added on to each other according to basic vector algebra and the two directions will create a triangle. If the directions you are pressing are opposing, then they will naturally cancel each other.
The game will also try to execute all inputs given to it, meaning you can press several directions at once. The reason why diagonal movement is faster is because the marble can only move in four directions: forward (W), backwards (S), to the right (D) and to the left (A). So you can, on some levels, do wall hits that don't give extra height pretty easily. You will notice that if you go at a high speed and jump whilst slowing down, your spin will change very quickly, but your speed won't (slowing down is best done by not jumping). You can of course change the spin of the marble whilst approaching a wall by jumping and holding a direction in the opposite direction you're going. This makes it impossible to effectively wall hit off a wall made out of space/ice/any low friction surface (unless you only wanted to go backwards, in that case low friction walls are better since you don't get that annoying extra height). It is important to note that your spin is what gives you your height from a wall hit, your speed does (pretty much) not affect wall hit height. Wall hits are generally used for getting up to a higher level, and to simply switch direction 180 degrees. The best way to learn where edge hits are useful is to simply look at the World record rampage The idea is to hit an edge at a certain speed and angle to make you, for example, reach a higher point than before. One of the oldest tricks in the marble blast book. Height boost from hitting a moving platform This will also include some useful information about glitches and other stuff in the game that can help you get better times. This thread is an attempt at a comprehensive list of the most advanced techniques used in Marble blast.
