The HoT is shown in cutscene slashing most of them down in a matter of seconds.
Also, that droid helped HoT in handling these manifestations. Otherwise, HoT may have gotten struck down himself.

Yeah this is what I'm talking about.
In a better setting and with Vitiate at his proper strength, this tactic can really benefit him a lightsaber duel if he is not dealing with a Strike Team.

HoT is a superb swordsman. On top of this, he had help from his droid. In addition, those manifestations were illusions.In a better setting and with Vitiate at his proper strength, this tactic can really benefit him a lightsaber duel if he is not dealing with a Strike Team.

If Vitiate has his illusions, and he and his illusions can only use lightsabers and not any force attacks, then Anakin still wins a saber duel.

Let us be realistic about this, if Anakin is looking and combating Vitiate in this manner, he is looking at several beings with no idea of which one is original. Anakin can fall in this kind of situation. And this isn't taking anything from Anakin. Anybody can falter in this kind of situation unless he have help or his really lucky.
In pure saber combat Anakin would cut them all down with consummate ease.

The only reason the illusions were trouble is because they were spamming force attacks.
Keep in mind that HoT benefited from his droid in this kind of situation and that Vitiate was not at his proper strength either. Anakin does not have assistance in this contest or does he and we are not assuming weakened Vitiate or are we?

I'm just explaining his reasoning.
Yep thats exactly what I meant. Its pretty common.
Saber skills do determine it but overall power hierarchy in the force should be related. Anakin is so much weaker than him so its not so wrong to assume Vitiate is more skilled than Anakin.

Considering Vitiate doesn't even know how to correctly hold a lightsaber, I doubt his manifestations would have any consummate skill. If Anakin can take blaster wielding armies while blindfolded, then he can take a few plebs swinging their blades like baseball bats.
