>He beat Revan when he was weaker than he was in Shadow of Revan, and only after Revan was distracted by Scourge killing Meetra.

Revan was weak physically, but mentally he was strong enough to resist Vitate's mind hax.

"He wanted information on the Republic and the Jedi. How strong were they? Where were they vulnerable? How much did they know about the Sith and the Emperor himself? He wanted information on Revan. What had happened during his own invasion of the Republic? Why had it failed? How had he freed himself from the Emperor’s control?...

The answers were all there, but Revan would not surrender them easily. Though he was physically helpless, mentally he was strong enough to wage war against the Emperor, guarding his secrets for however long it might take. And Revan knew something the Emperor did not.

The connection between them went both ways. There were brief moments-times when the Emperor was intently focused on something else-when he could subvert their relationship of planting seeds in the Emperor's thoughts. He had to be careful, lest his enemy discover what he was doing. But he was able to push and nudge the Emperor's own thoughts and beliefs, subtly manipulating them in ways that could have profound effects. Revan played on the Emepror's caution and patience, constantly pushing them to the forefront of his enemy's mind. He augmented his irrational fear of death. At every opportunity he reinforced the idea that invading the Republic was reckless and dangerous."
