RIP Sonic's Death Battle winning streak.

It's not their first lost, Shadow lost to Vegeta, though that win was much more valid.

Haha, DK definitely wins this. Comics and Sonic X aren't canon.

If Knuckles didn't have a hyper form they would have just said Strong Kong cancels out Super Knuckles and leave it at that, they completely ignored when Knuckles OHKO Super Sonic instead opting for a non canon scene that paralleled DK's moonfeat, then they discounted it for being an outlier, even though DK's moonfeat was very freaking clearly an outlier too.

They don't seem to actually bother doing the math needed to find out who'd win, it just seems like they pick a winner and do just enough math to justify it.

DB care about outliers? Since when, lol?

Normally they don't, but they discounted Knuckles "big" feat for that reason and kept DK's anyways. It's ridiculous.

I would definately count DK's as an outlier since the moon falls in the same way for Diddy too.

Donkey's Ending

Diddy's Ending

The Moon reacts in the same way and it seems Diddy was only trying to slow himself down and not collide with it.

Or Diddy is just like super strong

Yeah, plus the Moon in that scene is obviously very small compared to the real moon. Also, not very high above the Earth..

Which they explicitly pointed out in the Death Battle.
