NotLikeThis is a Twitch emote used to express disappointment, frustration, or a sense of "Oh no, not like this!" when something goes wrong, especially in an unexpected or unfortunate way. It conveys a feeling of sympathy or shared pain when witnessing a mishap or failure.
Origin
The NotLikeThis emote features the face of Alex "Alex19" Sanchez, a professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player. The emote was added to Twitch in 2015. The image was captured during a live event where Alex19 reacted to a particularly unfortunate moment, and the phrase "Not like this" became associated with such moments of despair or bad luck.
