Maul takes this with probably mid difficulty at best

Jaina has far more combat experience than Maul. Even if we ignore her superior potential, she went through countless fights against Yuuzhan Vong, based on that alone she should be more skilled than him. Maul would have a style edge only against New Order Jaina and still she probably would win cos of superior natural talent.
Maul also killed a Vong and its amphistaff with his bare hands in Lockdown and zero force augmentation, so yeah.

Yeah he remarks about how he couldnt detect it in the force, the thing gets a few good hits on him and the staff nearly strangles him but Maul overpowers him and forces the staff down the things throat or something like that.
ILS can give you the exact quotes/scans

Showings against Vong really aren't the best deciders of power against another Force User, anyway. Most indicative are showings of Jedi vs. Sith...but sadly, the Lost Tribe are all scrubs, and Maul would slaughter the bunch of them as quick as Jaina did.
Nice. But Mara Jade did way better against her first Vong.
Tribe Sith are scrubs but you cannot know how quickly Maul would slaughter a bunch of them.
About Vong, mostly yes. All NJO Jedi learned how to fight Vong through out war and improved dramatically comparing to their first encounter. But we can still estimate Jaina's combat level by comparing her performance against Vong to Luke's.

Yeah, that wasn't a fair assessment. Maul was unarmed and Vong pretty much had Maul at his mercy but played with his prey for too long. Circumstances are very different, can't really compare. What you mean wasn't using Force augmentation? Vongs don't prevent Force users from using Force from enchancing physical abilities.
The Vong clearly didn't have Maul at it's mercy when Maul was the one squeezing blood out of it's eyes. Not to say it wasn't a hard fight.
I mean he wasn't allowed to draw on the dark side actively to enhance his physicals, as per Sidious's instructions, because nobody could know he was a Sith. If he demonstrated Force User-esque physical properties people would suss him out. Which means he only had his passive senses and foresight, which are useless against Vong, his passive physical amps from the Force all Force Users have, and then his own physical abilities.

Ok, I started reading from amfistaff part, didn't know there was unarmed battle before that. Damn, so much gore in this book. Maul is surprisingly resistant to poisons, I would expect him to be blinded permanently.
Coming back to this match, she has some pretty incredible force feats in the Swar War. Toppling 50 meter trees with a single force push, dodging cannon fire bolts which can shoot 22 bolts per meter while simultaneously deflecting turbolaser fire and dodging explosions, and telekinetically grasping 3 Chiss Airstraekers/destroying 1 Airstraeker by smashing it into another put her somewhat above Maul in power
Skill wise she's in Maul's tier of skill, but Maul has better feats. Still going with Maul like 6/10 but its a good fight.
