How to take those big side way jumps in super meat boy

super-meat-boy

I'm somewhat stuck in the last but one level (Level 6-5 "Omega") of Super Meat Boy. I'm pretty sure I've taken similar jumps throughout the game before, but this jump is near the end of the level, and I haven't got a clue what magical key combination I should press in order to fly away that far from the side, and back again over the saw blade.

difficult jump

Maybe I should zig-zag up, bouncing back from the platform where SMB is standing (uncomfortably) on?

While it's certainly possible to do a big wall jump like that (you'll need to in some of world 7), in this particular instance, you don't need to do a vertical jump at all -- the sawblade can be cleared with a horizontal jump from the platform to the left. See this video for a demonstration:

or, pictorially, the yellow path:
