Tbh not sure. Nyriss has some good speed and strength feats, however that was in a DS nexus. Leaning toward Nyriss, seeing as she has seemingly vaster reserves of energy to keep her going, but I'd assume Jinn would too in order to effectively use Ataru.
What showings of skill does she have that puts her anywhere near Jinn? Granted she does have impressive physical showings and I'm not doubting she's likely skilled in her chosen form given she's a Dark Council member but she was shown to rely heavily on the force in regards to combat.

Her dueling skills were on par with those of Lord Scourge and Meetra Surik, if not better. She is extremely fast as well.
Scourge had just begun training under a true Sith Master and Meetra was being hindered by a DS nexus while Nyriss was being amped. Not the best circumstances to determine superiority. Again I'm not doubting her impressive physicals but I don't see how she's beating Jinn in a duel on even ground.

Nothing implies that Darth Nyriss was amped during her confrontation with the duo of Lord Scourge and Meetra Surik.

She is much more of a sorceress than a warrior, but that would also back up the argument of her having massive reserves of energy and speed augmentation in physical combat. Her fight with Meetra and Scourge was mainly won through her massive speed advantage. Idk if it would be as effective against Jinn, but she could easily bide her time until he wears himself out with the rapid exhaustion that comes with the use of Ataru; by which time she'd still have plenty of energy reserves to press an assault against an all-too depleted Qui-Gon. Not saying it's a definite win for Nyriss, I would be open to seeing some good arguments in Jinn's favor, but I'm with Nyriss on this one arm.

Lord Scourge had completed his Sith training (and trials) [before] meeting Darth Nyriss. He was renowned for his dueling skills in the Empire and dispatched to various battles by his superiors due to this reason.Nothing implies that Darth Nyriss was amped during her confrontation with the duo of Lord Scourge and Meetra Surik.
I understand but I'm saying that Scourge hadn't begun his training under a true Sith Lord up until that point.
Except the fact that theywere stated to be on a DS nexus.

How would she bide her time though? By staying on the defensive? If she had the skill feats necessary to hold out against Jinn I'd agree with you but that just doesn't seem to be the case here. Jinn has been stated to be outright superior to a Anoon Bondara a battlemaster of the Order and was a peer of Mace Windu. He's also not lacking in the physical department nor in speed either. I just don't see Nyriss's stamina advantage alone allowing her to take the victory against a more skilled opponent like Jinn on even ground. Sure Maul was able to but I believe this was a combination of his youth, physical superior and perhaps even superior combat ability.
Nyriss all the way.
She was overpowering Meetra Surik and Scourge. Meetra Surik and Scourge together are way superior to TPM Darth Maul all the way. Meetra and Scourge by that time were even superior to Imperial Guardsmen that were amped by Vitiate sitting on his throne room. These Imperial Guardsmen alone would probably stomp TPM Maul for good.

Meetra was weakened by a DS nexus while Nyriss was empowered by it. Scourge by the time of the Revan novel isn't overly impressive. She also beat them mostly through use of the Force and this is lightsabers only. Did you even read the OP?

She was overpowering them in sabers too and Imperial Guardsmen were already so powerful thanks to Vitiate's amp Revan couldn't harm them with telekinesis, and Scourge and Meetra managed to defeat them. This duo is way above TPM Maul who would get stomped by Guardsmen so powerful.
Yes she was but she quickly resorted back to using her force powers when interrupted. You also don't seem to be taking the nexus into account.
Quote for the guardsmen not being affected by Revan's TK?
Even on the nexus, with amped Scourge and hindered Meetra, Scourge and Meetra defeated the Imperial Guardsmen. Can't provide an quote because my books are Polish, but basically Revan's Force Push only sent the Guardsmen stumbling and drove him back several feet but that was all.
Honestly I don't know how can people support Qui-Gon. These Imperial Guardsmen would obviously stomp Maul within few seconds, and Meetra and Scourge were still superior. And Nyriss was better than the two of them.
Nyriss probably stomps within few seconds. Half of these Imperial Guardsmen would destroy Qui-Gon so brutally he would regret being born kek.
If Vitiate's indirect amp being created by Vitiate's lone presence allowed the Guards to defend against Revan's telekinesis, the Force amp obviously affected the reflexes and physical reactions, so this 4-man Guardsmen team would utterly stomp the likes of Dooku or Maul, who would in turn stomp Qui-Gon.

First off that conclusion would be in doubt even if we're sure the Emperor was amping their physicals. I mean Galen who was one of the most powerful telekinetics in the mythos had trouble with force defenses early on in the novel when he was already accomplishing such feats as throwing thousands of droids into the air. As it is what proof do you have of such?
