No, Nox's connection was stated to be weakening. They weren't actually cut off from the Force at that point. That's not as fun to wank though.
She was weakened to the point where she couldn't summon mere sparks or offer the slightest resistance to Paladius' push and she was losing her connection more and more as time went on.

Instead of giving us a pointless back and forth, just drop the comparison in the first place.
It's comparable. So no.

Goes down to Mara vs Leneer, can someone remind me of Mara's greatest speed feat, because Leneer's is pretty insane.
Not sure if it's been reconned like most of DF but Mara stalemated with Kyle in Mysteries of the Sith, a guy who moved faster than trained Jedi Yun, apparently mastered force speed(according to prima guide who spoke with the development team), he reacts in a tenth of a second, and that's about it for this version of Mara.
Her feats, the ones I can think of, include blurring her blade while sick, fighting a Vong evenly (he has a quote where he moves faster than thought iirc) despite said vong having every advantage.
Lol also her fight with Caedus.

The fact that you think he's taking about physical strength is kind of retarded, tbh. Especially since the Mission Codex, which is apparently is a source here, says he only drained "some of your Force Energy." It's not comparable at all. Time to move on, Neph.
Nnnno, I think he's talking about combat strength. And as I said, the game shows you that Nox's force power was almost non-existent even before the duel starts.

Nox is just as skilled with a saber as with the force, beat Khem Val as an acolyte when he was still strong enough to punch through solid rock, matched or exceeded Ulic's feat of holding off Sylvar without the Force by defeating a Sith Lord in a similar condition. Nox is a beastly duelist, who should get more respect than she does.
I'm rusty on my Mara Jade lore, but of this list, Nox does stand out. Moreso if you consider endgame Nox who has a supreme connection to the Force, several spirits augmenting her powers, and we all know that dueling is in itself affected by Force powers. Which is why Yoda can trap Sidious' saber and knock him about like a sock puppet.
