vertically effected by its horizontal velocity?

no

its kinematics

the acceleration due to gravity and the initial vertical velocity are the only thing that affects vertical distance

No, the distance which it falls vertically does not affect by its horizontal velocity.

Downward acceleration of a projectile is same as downward acceleration of a free falling body due to constant gravity. Horizontal velocity ([tex]V_h[/tex]) does not affect vertical velocity ([tex]V_v[/tex]). Gravity affects vertical velocity ([tex]V_v[/tex]).
The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant. There is a vertical acceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s², down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second,
The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.
