I have nothing to add as I don't know enough about DK or Knuckles, but I want to say that this is the first time DB has called any feat an outlier, and that's sad. Even more importantly, other then the moon feat Knuckles has better strength feats(at least according to the video), yet they call his an outlier and call DK's legitimate. Other then that it's the same problems I have with any DB video. They hide and misinterpret the feats so during the character section they make them seem like a moon-buster and change it at the last second. They fuse continuities even if they're obviously and clearly stated to be different versions. Even when we do it(however rarely) we only include one medium. Composite Superman doesn't have any DCAU feats(not that he would need them). And this time the fight doesn't even look that good. The DK sprite is atrocious at times.

You know what? Even as a fan of the show, I have to agree that hiding feats before the post-fight analysis just to make the outcome more shocking is really stupid.
