Palpatine could shoot lightning,
As has been said - he did manage to tank the blast that leveled the surface of Malachor V via Mass Shadow Generators - so a little bit of lightning won't do much to him, other than tickle him. 😛

could use mega-TK,
Nihilus's TK is at least on par with FotJ Luke's and far beyond Palpatine's.
Nihilus would crush him like a cockroach.

speed blitz, whatever.
Nope. We went over that, and Sidious still falls short there.

From the few cutscenes where they are fighting, neither seem inclined to just "DRAIN! LUL!" they fight with sabers or the Force, while waiting for a better time to eat them.
The first thing Nihilus did before fighting the Exile was attempt to drain her - then he found out the hard way that, she too, like him was a Force Wound.
Kreia likewise, would use the Drain if she knew it was important to use in the battle, and this would constitute such a situation.

Again, where does Kreia say she can do EXACTLY the same type of draining as Nihilus? I could have sworn he was a special case.
Kreia, On Nihilus's Attack:
Kreia: "As you would pass judgment on her, I have come to pass judgment on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars? Of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you—you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the Exile!"
¯The others acknowledge her, then all three get Force drained
"Kreia described this ability as a means of destroying connections between life around oneself, drawing upon them until they were drained completely and the exhausted life died. Nihilus supposedly took this practice to unmatched levels; wiping out entire planets, he became something of a hole in the Force, his mere presence killing all around him, slowly, feeding him. Wounds in the Force located in places such as the dark side world of Malachor V were said to bear a similar behavior ." - Knights of the Old Republic, The Sith Lords.
"...what he does is Simply the Pinnacle of what they could achieve, in time."
"Darth Traya indeed teaches the newly christened Darth Nihilus to harness his life-draining gift to radical heights--so effectively, in fact, that Nihilus saps Traya's powers in a calculated double-cross." --Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide [/B]

Intresting that she is required to kill them before she can do it...

Yeah, unlike Nihilus she wasn't taught to actually use the technique in a controlled manner. Its just something she does instinctively 'to fill the hollow places where the force used to be.' Just like her force bonding technique, its how she uses the force. She has no connection to it herself, so she leeches it from others.
It must be a burden to be so handsome and smart. 😄

He just does do it.
