I thought static friction was dependent only on the normal force?
Yeah, but it is the factor by which the velocity is reduced. It's the dot product between the velocity and the normal scaled (by the coefficient of friction) multiplied by the velocity vector.
EDIT: Nope, got that wrong Because that would mean moving perpendicular to the normal would imply no friction. Maybe I mean perpendicular to the direction of the velocity instead...
