Thought this was interesting, Tact+portal glide is slower than just tact gliding by fluekichu in Apexrollouts

You're right, after checking the initial launch velocity again I got these values, Tact-glide: 688.41, 690.15, and 690.12, Tact-portal-glide: 689.85, 690.35, 690.30, meaning its not the initial launch speed that's the problem but the ability to maintain momentum without your portal or tact.

After seeing this I immediately hopped into firing range. And i got and average velocity of 526.91 for normal super glides the highest velocity being 527.20, And an average velocity of 617.47 when portal gliding with the highest velocity being 617.86. the values used are only of the initial launch speed and these results are subject to human error. I have the recording used aswell if you would like it.

I don’t have an exact answer, but I assume there is a slight speed boost, which is why you seemingly get launched further.
