Considering DE Sidious was ROTJ's Sidious's Spirit in a Younger body, that means he knew all of his stuff in or shortly after ROTS.
Palpatine was stated as TRAINING in all the forms, that's what Niman users do, it never said Mastered. Palpatine uses Juyo with many elements of Ataru.
Oh and by the way, since this is in the Emperor's Throne Room, I find it hard to believe Sidious will use a Force Wormhole(Storm)
Darth Bane learned most of his power from Revan. Where did Revan learn it from. Either he too must have learned it from a higher power like Ragnos or he formed some new Force abilities. If this is DE Sidious, then Sids/Vader wins. If it's ROTS Sidious, Revan wins. Sidious can keep firing lightning but Revan could probably strike back with Lightning or do Force Shield. It doesn't matter really to me, but I feel Revan > Sidious.

Prove up or shut up. He didnt learn it directly from the spirits of the Dark Lords he summoned like Palpatine did, did he? And Palpatine knows a lot more than lightning, stop being stupid. You keep saying 'Revan knows more because he does!'there is zero proof and I'm tired of conjecture
Where the hell does it say Plagueis/Sidious summoned Spirits? You also from nowhere say he Mastered every Lightsaber form, he did not, he was a Master of Juyo, and likely Ataru
Revan created most of the powers, or he learned them from an Ancient, either way
What has Revan shown us? absolutely nothing. We know he knew the thought bomb, which won't help...
And it's confirmed Palpatine's stronger than Bane by TPM, actually, according to the Dark Side sourcebook.
And yeah, Palpatine's learned from the spirits of the Ancients themselves and doesn't know Sith magic, lovely assertion
Sidious greater than Bane: Dark Side Sourcebooksidious learning from the Ancients: Dark Side Sourcebook, Visionaries-see the spirits around him, The Ultimate Visual Guide confirms he called them up, Empire's End shows them knowing him personally...
and in PoD, it's shown Revan got his stuff from the Ancients
