The Masahiro Sakurai meme primarily stems from his 'Mr. Sakurai Presents' video series, specifically the Terry Bogard presentation in 2019. During the video, while explaining certain gameplay mechanics, Sakurai jokingly remarked, 'No, this isn't how you're supposed to play the game,' which immediately became a viral reaction image. Beyond this specific quote, Sakurai himself is a beloved figure in the gaming community, often memed for his incredible work ethic, youthful appearance, and his habit of pointing at things during Nintendo Directs. Fans use this template to mock unintended game exploits, bizarre strategies, or anyone breaking social norms in a humorous way.
