Emperor Palpatine as of Return of the Jedi and Emperor Vitiate as of Tales of the Old Republic are whisked away through time and space to fight on the unfinished Death Star - within Palpatine's Throne Room.
They start 15 Feet apart and are Blood-lusted.
The two Emperors will battle it out to see who will rule over the Galaxy.
Considering Emperor Palpatine was caught off gaurd by an injured, hulking-cyborg and Emperor Vitiate was caught off gaurd by an expertly-thrown lightsaber - I'd say their reactionary-abilities are about the same here.
So now it's a Force Battle of power and knowledge.

It looks like knock-off Palpatine wins here, though.
It seems Vitiate is indeed superior to this version of Sidious.

And Palpatine is arguably stronger. I believe the quote of him being the most powerful still stands due to backtracking. I remember some thread with a debate on this, about how Vitiate's quote is for his era? Something about Palpatine's quote encompassing Vitiates time and being from Lucas himself or some shit. Idk. Don't care. Vitiate has the same facial structure as Palpatine in that picture. Stupid how they just copied him.
You mean a battle without lightsaber's, or are you saying Palpatine doesn't get his speed at all here? Because speed is not limited to lightsaber combat.
How is that exactly? TP? TK? FL?

You are trying to make this feat look more impressive then it is. Nihilus trumps every Sith Lord in this aspect. Should we consider him more powerful then Palpatine?
To be honest, this is the only saving grace of Palpatine.
However, Vitiate has some skills of his own:
1- Could create phantoms/illusions with the Force during combat situations (very taxing feat mind you)
2- Demonstrated highest proficiency in FL
3- Could unleash powerful blasts of energies with bare hands (Exar Kun required amulets for this feat)
4- Arguably demonstrated highest proficiency in Mind Tricks/Telepathy
5- Possessed the ability to fight even in essence phase (Palpatine never demonstrated this ability)
6- Better defensive abilities then Palpatine's
7- Also have one of the most potent display of powers under his belt; purged an entire Dark Council with a single blast of a mysterious power described as flash of light.
8. Demonstrated relatively higher proficiency with TK then Palpatine; destroyed a gigantic Dark Temple and caused earthquakes in surroundings.
In addition, Vitiate was also natural with Force Drain/Sever Force techniques. When he was just 10 years old, he stripped Lord Dramath from his powers and mind. And he put his affinity with Force Drain to impressive use with the ritual he performed on Nathema.
Also, this isn't the peak of Vitiate. He was planning to make himself omnipotent and so powerful that he would be able to create Galaxies himself. Fortunately, he was stopped.
See above.

Where are your sources for ANY of this?
EDIT: FAIL. I just noticed this is RoTJ Palpatine. How many of his DE powers does he have? By now he doesn't really get much. Apart from turning an entire legion or Stormtroopers to ash with one blast of lightning. Yeah, can't get much better with lightning that that, or a Sith Wyrm (I can't remember if that is canon or not. If it isn't, I retract it in advance)
The only difference between the Emperor and the reborn Emperor is the ability to loose Force Storms (though The Book of Sith says he's been working on this particular power for decades).
That's not the only difference. Apparently, DE Sidious came up with some brand new, nifty techniques. Also, in a young body, he was a potent saber combatant, whereas ROTJ Sidious was not.
