Momentum Redirection on wall-runs

I feel like most movement focused games, add something new to the genre. If they don't they die out. Right now, the main unique movement features in empulse are the 360 wall-running, and the paint.

So I think they need to lean into these features even more, and I think the ability to transfer your momentum into any direction through wall-running would be a great way to add more unique skill expression.

The way I imagine this working is say if you had 20m/s forward velocity while wall running, by pressing S you can instantly switch directions and turn that velocity into backwards momentum.
