Yeah, I guess I wasn't skeptical enough of your assertions, lol. Nowhere in that video do I see evidence that Revan tanks the energies of a nuclear-yield detonation, and indeed, it seems really f*cking obvious that he doesn't, seeing as how, well, nobody around him gets affected at all. So we come back to the simple reality that Revan has never done anything to put him within the same whisper as TFU Vader, and so he gets horribly stomped by any measure.
Now if we just toss away feats and look at accolades/powerscaling/intent, just look to Galen Marek catching Sidious's lightning. That's still GG over ragdolling a strike team that would have collectively been shitstomped by Vitiate, who is canonically weaker than TPM Sidious.
The description is as follows: "Through masterful control of the Force, Revan has created a Force resonance with The Machine's core, and is channeling its power into an immense attack."
And then "upon successful completion, [Revan will deal] massive damage to enemies within 1km. Dealing sufficient damage will break this channel."
The energy "backlashed" onto him, hence my argument he managed to withstand just amount of energy without dying.

Ah, if that's the case, then I stand by my original post. I wanted to see, since you said something about a maelstrom of energy trapped inside a bubble, but all I honestly see is the animation of Revan channeling massive energy myself. It's still impressive, but it's different from being hit head on by a 1km explosion.
So if he succeeds, I assume the OP fails and everyone dies. But is there like, an explosion animation, or does everyone just fall over?
I was referring to the blue radiation of energy. The barrier I was referring to was the fact that he lost control due to the fact his defenses were overwhelmed.
I think Revan unleashes like this red blast of energy that kills them all and then the screen turns black and then he goes "I'm coming for you Vitiate."

Generally only happens when there's a glitch or bug that prevents Revan from dying, in which people rarely record even that since no one wants to watch a failed attempt at beating a boss. I've only seen one video of it out of the hundreds concerning the fight. One time when I played ToS I didn't attack Revan hoping that without me DPSing that he wouldn't get overwhelmed and I could actually record what he did, but the other guys managed to do fine without me.

You mean where he said it wasn't the real Darth Maul and where he said he wasn't even certain what happened there and that it could've just as easily been a vision. Between two statements of the fight being noncanon and one dude saying he's not even sure wtf was happening in that fight, the fight is just really sketchy to use for any point you're trying to make.
Yeah, by evading him with the use of the environment. And where does Vader state this?

Where?
It's not quite the real Darth Maul. Hence the "or something." Who knows, it could have been a vision like Luke confronting Vader on Dagobah or just some sort of Sith illusion. Or a clone. Nothing's been determined as to what we are actually seeing, just that Vader and Maul have a pretty cool battle.

Sure she's performing impressively, suggesting she can match Vader for very long in straight martial combat doesn't hold too much water imo since her engagements with him in martial combat during the fight were brief.
If what your saying is just how much Vader uses the Force in combat is demonstrated in that fight, then that's a separate issue from what I'm arguing.

When you have characters who have appeared in a variety of source materials, discrepancies in power scale have always varied from author to author. This is nothing new. Most of Vader's best feats took place prior to ANH, despite the fact that we know he only grew stronger with the passage of time. That's part of why feats aren't the end-all be-all in SW debates.
And frankly I don't see the difference between what Ellimnist is doing and you disregarding Drew's thoughts on Darth Revan in favor of Chris Avellone's.
