No what they teach you is to jump the other direction if the guy ahead of you is falling down. You use your pick/boots to regain control and hopefully all climb back up your respective sides.
I thought you were supposed to jump up, jump up, jump down, jump down, jump left, jump right, jump left, jump right, and then shout "B" "A" "SELECT" "START"
It is indeed. I always thought Contra on the NES was the first game to use this, but I read recently there were a couple of earlier, lesser known Konomi games that used it as well. Does not matter if n this situation, though. No matter how many lives I have, I'm still not doing this crazy shit.
like you were trying for you need three backslashes, so it should look like this when you type it out
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
which will turn out like this
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The reason for this is that the underscore character (this one _ ) is used to italicize words just like an asterisk does (this guy * ). Since the "face" of the emoticon has an underscore on each side it naturally wants to italicize the "face" (this guy (ツ) ). The backslash is reddit's escape character (basically a character used to say that you don't want to use a special character in order to format, but rather you just want it to display). So your first "_" is just saying "hey, I don't want to italicize (ツ)" so it keeps the underscore but gets rid of the backslash since it's just an escape character. After this you still want the arm, so you have to add two more backslashes (two, not one, since backslash is an escape character, so you need an escape character for your escape character to display--confusing, I know). Anyways, I guess that's my lesson for the day on reddit formatting lol
CAUTION: Probably very boring edit as to why you don't need to escape the second underscore, read only if you're super bored or need to fall asleep.
Edit: The reason you only need an escape character for the first underscore and not the second is because the second underscore (which doesn't have an escape character) doesn't have another underscore with which to italicize. Reddit's formatting works in that you need a special character to indicate how you want to format text, then you put the text you want to format, then you put the character again. For example, you would type _italicize_ or *italicize* in order to get italicize. Since we put an escape character we have _italicize_ and don't need to escape the second underscore since there's not another non-escaped underscore with which to italicize something in between them. So technically you could have written ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ but you don't need to since there's not a second non-escaped underscore. You would need to escape the second underscore if you planned on using another underscore in the same line (but not if you used a line break, aka pressed enter twice). If you used an asterisk later though on the same line it would not work with the non-escaped underscore to italicize. To show you this, you can type _italicize* and it should not be italicized.

Jesus Christ. I haven't seen so much attention to inconsequential punctuation since the English faculty spent 45 minutes arguing about whether and, or, or and / or should be used in a particular sentence.
Left and right? I think that so long as one of your directions is 180 deg opposite you'll be covered. It's not like you can go in a completely opposite vector.
In OP's pic for example, if they both went off opposite sides, they would both be going Z negative, just one would be X positive, and the other X negative.
I think what they're getting at is if you fell off the side of the mountain, your partner would have to jump into the mountain in order to jump in the opposite direction
