Jaina Solo vs Darth Maul

It's ok, ILS. I don't think she's that great. So you've still got someone with sense in your corner. 👆

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.

So.. experience which isn't quantifiable or useful in any meaningful way, and unrealized potential.

Yeah, Maul's definitely screwed.

🙄

Maul also killed a Vong and its amphistaff with his bare hands in Lockdown and zero force augmentation, so yeah.

Maul wins imo

Had to google it. Never knew.

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.

Well, they are until non-Vong era characters have said showings 😎

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.

Maul wasn't using Force Augmentation, or a lightsaber, so... He also became stronger after that fight, to boot.

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.

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.

I go for Jaina. On the Vong thing... I don't think there's much doubt that Jaina could do the same thing anyway.

Vong thing is pretty circumstantial. And Vong was rather stupid not to use amfistaff from the beginning.
Regardless, Jaina would take Maul apart.
