We're breaking image size conventions to bring you an adorable kitten combat photo, brought to our attention by Joystiq reader salvage. A hearty handshake and a pat on the back goes to the soul who can (a) name the game that gives you hearty handshakes and pats on the back and (b) bring us a picture of a kitty hurricane kick. Check out the highlights for today:

shoulda said

TIGER UPPERCUT

Rob Accomando: Mar 22nd 2007; 6:48AM

I love the pic, but isn't an uppercut: Foward, down, down/left, foward? ;)

Why is every site stealing 4chan's Caturday pictures?

kn1ves:

I second that - that cat is CLEARLY doing a "Tiger Uppercut"!

I think joystiq has been taken over by 8 year old girls.

someone link a high-res of that... but I agree, it's way more Tiger uppercut than dragon punch.

At least the button combo (which is correct, forward, down, down/forward + punch) is the same for either.

I would swear on a stack of bibles that video game humor isn't funny- but damn it all if that poster didn't make me laugh out loud. Keep the faux inspirational video game posters involving cats comming!

Haha, that's a perfect still shot. This cat doing a ShoRyuKen reminds me of Tiger from Street Fighter, playing with his cat, "Tiger", in the Street Fighter: The Later Years video set (I believe in Part 3).
