I was joking. Revan Reborn was contending with a much more powerful Vitiate on a DS nexus. This Vitiate wouldn't know of Revan's ability to resist his Mind Control, so he'd attempt it anyway, which gives Revan a chance to do his "twin rivers" attack again.

Revan nearly defeated a far more powerful version of Vitiate on a DS nexus, as you yourself said. Pre-Natheme ritual Vitiate would have been far weaker than he was during the duel with Revan. If the 8000 Sith Lords Vitiate ate weren't all Darovit anyway.
Revan never "nearly defeated" Vitiate. He exploited Vitiate's Mind Control failure and deflected a few bolts. So he pushed Vitiate back. When Vitiate charged up his Storm, Revan was stomped and needed two diversions before he could heal himself from his injuries.

Lol "stomped", that's why Revan knocked Vitiate on his ass a couple times right? Regardless, Vitiate pre-Nathema might have had a strong connection to the Force; but it was nothing like it was post-Nathema. He absorbed the power of 8000 Sith Lords, the most powerful of them that were left and absorbed their power. The fact that Revan contended with Vitiate even AFTER Vitiate had attained that power would suggest that Vitiate pre-Ritual was nothing to Revan.
Did you even read what I said? Revan was stomped when he tried to contain Vitiate's Storm, not in the overall fight. Don't laugh unless you know what people are talking about.
Regardless, Revan had only contended with a fraction of Vitiate's power beforehand (ie. a few bolts which he could slap back). Once Vitiate unleashed all of his power (ie. the Storm), Revan was swiftly annihilated. That was hinted at already when Revan could barely even Push back an Imperial Guard under Vitiate's protection.
And no, the 8000 Sith Lords part doesn't suggest that there's such a huge gap that Revan can go from being unable to compare to Vitiate's full power to suddenly stomping him. I'll remind you that as a child, Vitiate Severed and Mind Controlled his Sith Lord father. A hundred years of growth and study would only see him become incredibly powerful.
