(Cue Battle of the Heroes - Revenge of the Sith)
Revan leaped toward Vader, who casually lifted a stone pillar with the Force, hurling it at the other Sith. Revan jumped over it, his lightsaber raised high above his head.
Vader barely activated and raised his own weapon in time, blocking his foe's strike and locking blades.
He broke off as Revan charged at him. The two exchanged several blows, each matching the other. They locked blades once more. Vader raised his left arm, his incredibly powerful cybernetics allowing him to match his opponent's physical strength with one arm. Reaching out with the Force, he collapsed a stone pillar on top of his opponent.
Vader watched as Revan pulled himself out from under the rubble. The two exchanged blows for a bit, each using the Force to enhance their physical abilities.
Vader used a Force push to knock Revan over, preparing to strike him down. He blocked, getting back to his feet. The duel continued for some time, with Vader managing to destroy his foe's lightsaber. Revan fell back, hitting the ground.
Vader raised his saber. "You are beaten. It is pointless to resist."
Revan reached for his belt, igniting a second saber, with a purple blade. He parried Vader's strike in time, then knocked him back with a torrent of Force lightning. Leaping high into the air, Revan prepared to strike Vader down, but was met by Vader's blade. Using a Force choke, Vader slammed his opponent into a pillar, then used a saber throw. Revan blocked it, and Vader recalled his weapon to his hand, advancing towards Revan.
Revan released another wave of Force lightning, knocking Vader onto his back. He then used the Force to bury him under several pillars, turning to walk away.
He stopped as he heard laboured breathing. Turning around, he saw Vader use the Force to lift up the pillars that had fell on top of him, hurling them at Revan, who casually sliced through them, spinning. Vader's chest panel and belt were completely crushed, wires hanging from his torso. His cybernetics were exposed, and he limped towards Revan.
Revan threw himself into a flurry of attacks, with Vader barely blocking them in time. He managed to unmask Vader, slamming him into more pillars.
This caused him to drop his saber, and Revan unleashed powerful torrents of Force lightning, torturing Vader as he walked towards him. He placed his foot on Vader's chest, raising his saber to kill him.
Suddenly, a searing pain knocked him backwards, throwing him through several pillars. It was Vader's lightsaber, buried in Revan's chest. Vader himself got to his feet, grabbing Revan's saber. He walked to his fallen opponent, grabbing his own saber. He activated both, decapitating Revan.
Winner: Darth Vader

MemberInitiateOct-08-2016 7:56 AMI would give Vader the edge in equipment, Revan the edge in strategy.
The problem with Vader is that he will always be weak to competent force lightning users. It's literally engineered into him. Revan being the strategist he is would probably root out Vader's weakness and use his massive amount of knowledge to both the light and dark side to win.
Vader and Revan may be equals in skill, but Revan would win due to cir***stance.

Member2KOct-08-2016 7:58 AM^Vader did put some electrical insulation in his suit, which allows him to tank some amounts of Force lightning, but not the BS amount he withstood in TFUII. Holy **** I hate that game

MemberInitiateOct-08-2016 8:07 AMYeah he does have insulation but look at who have beaten him. Sidious didn't even shoot his lightning directly at him and he fried his suit. Starkilled beat him before taking on Sidious in the Force Unleashed game and novel, in both incarnations the user is a pretty big force lightning fan.
Revan is pretty close to at least one of those 2 in his force lightning. He does catch and redirect a Dark council member's lighting and fry her instantly, he also goes toe to toe with Vitiate in force abilities. He's beaten but he holds his own for some time.
Against most people his insulation is fine since most jedi don't use force lightning, and those who do use a watered down sith lightning(at least at that time). Against the best sith, it didn't hold up. It's arguable that's why he never took on Sidious solo, as he had ideas of killing him, but Sidious had an advantage he built into Vader after he reconstructed him.

Member2KOct-08-2016 8:12 AM^Ok, ok. One of the worst problems with TFUII is that at the end, Vader took a lot more lightning than he did in ROTJ. That's why I hate the game so much, plus it had a ****ty storyline and made me foam in the mouth.
And also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Starkiller didn't use Force lightning in his duel against Vader

MemberInitiateOct-08-2016 8:19 AMHe didn't in the final cutscene kill, but in the novel he did throughout the duel to get to the point the cutscene takes place.

Member2KOct-08-2016 8:21 AM^Kill? Starkiller never killed Vader.
Plus, how could a Jedi use Force lightning?

MemberInitiateOct-08-2016 8:31 AMKill was a bad word, maybe beaten was better, since you had to fight Vader one more time to actually kill him.
Force lighting isn't only for the Sith. It's just strongest with them. A few jedi of the time knew how to use it. Granted they didn't use it with the purely malicious intent the sith did, hence why it's weaker.
