Not: "im only powerful because of this special lightsaber form i have, that can only take on the dark side". I guess thats just my gripe with one part of the EU though
Lucas also says Sidious lost the duel in the commentary.

And in the ROTS Novelization, Windu's lightsabre was being bent by Sid's lightning and it was about to fly out of his hand.

I'd also like to add Mace's own Form wasn't really created in the EU. Yeah they gave it a name in the EU but for Ep. 2 and 3 they gave Samuel his own form.

The Stunt Coordinator even says it.

Thank you, I'd not seen that in a long while :P IT conveys, as much as it can, that in terms of sabre combat each Jedi has their own. There are the 7 forms ofc, Windu creating Vaapad, the deadliest form.

It also pertains to one coordinator trying to come up with differing styles for each character. I know lucas originally wanted samurai styling, which is why in the OT the fights were slow.

I mean just watching the video it says Windu has no "flair" because he uses moves that are simple and effective, as any warrior would use.

Lightsabre twirling is just showing off, and pointless in a battle. So good for Windu - I also love Samuel L Jackson xD "Say what again!"

Go back a few pages, Sidious could do everything the Sith Emperor could do and much more, without the help Vitiate needed, simple.

Vitiate needed the power of 200 other Sith Lords and trinkets and rituals to achieve

He didn't need them, he simply tricked them to help him. I also don't quite remember when Sidious ever drained the entire force out of a planet, or ever planned to do the same to the entire galaxy, or defeated an entire group of Jedi Masters without even lifting a finger, or that Sidious ever was a Wound(though Void is more fitting) in the force.

If anything, if it came to a fight between Sidious and Vitiate it would end in a tie.

Was actually Sidious being described as a nexus of the darkside, and no it wouldn't Palpatine would outright kill him. You look up Sidious's powers/feats and you'll see they far surpass any sith emperor before him.
