seems to give a boost to horizontal distance (and thus speed) which is what you want for most jumps.
I believe that's all because of the firing angle. With the original you need to turn so far that you'll be holding strafe+backwards at the same time. If holding S in the air doesn't slow you for that slight moment, the fact that you have to turn all the way around means you're either doing a bit of a spin-strafe, or you just spend a longer time gaining your bearings. Either way you're a bit slower. However, due to the angle, you can hit spots further ahead when rapidly doing wall shots. Both stock and original are capable of the same height, but with stock you need to angle your shot, and start walking to the left right, in order to have the rocket hit underneath you. This does make it quite a bit harder to do though. Personal preference is stock, everyday.
