We all knew that this was coming.
1) Force
2) Sabers
3) All Out
Scenario: Shortly after the formation of the Empire a time vortex sucks Lord Vitiate into a portal. After gaining his bearings he decides to become the new Emperor. This battle happens in the Grand Convocation chamber. (please log in to view the image)
I'd submit that Sidious is best described that way as well, but he's still capable enough to outright slaughter some of the Jedi order's finest warriors. Technically, SW_LeGenD is correct: we don't know, though I understand why, because of the substantiation Sidious enjoys in the lightsaber feat department, you'd be inclined to side with him.
No, we do know, or at least logically suspect. There has never been any mention of Vitiate ever picking up a blade at any point of his life. All that's mentioned was his ability to overcome everyone with the force.
Yes to the latter, no to the former. Sidious's greater substantiation doesn't necessarily make him the more skilled duelist, particularly when he, like Vitiate, is best described as a scholar first and warrior second. But I agree that there's pretty much no way to argue that Vitiate is the more seasoned lightsaber combatant.
During second confrontation with Revan, Vitiate picked up his blade and attempted to kill him with it. However, Meetra knocked it out of his hand with Saber Throw technique.
A very formal way of saying 'saber throw'. Capitalized and all.

Considering Revan fought on par with him I don't see why not? Sidious can counter his lightning with his sabers or his bear hands, and has show the Force Speed to blitz 3 Jedi Masters.
Vitiate does not get prep in this case.
Revan drew all of that power into himself which was a mistake. Granted that he (Revan) had exceptional command of Tutaminis but it backfired in this case.
Revan should have attempted to deflect it instead. Don't know what would have been the result with this strategy though.
The attack is described as "infinitely more powerful than Nyriss'". While there's some obvious hyperbole there, the intention of the narration is to stress that the Sith Emperor is in a whole 'nother ballpark from even Revan. And Revan's feat against Nyriss certainly rivals anything we see from Yoda or Sidious in the prequels. I don't see RotS Sidious succeeding where Revan failed.
