Sometimes a good punch is all you need to win a fight, Anon

don't forget his overpowered ability Star Finger
>>
>>282037341
People complained about him being to broken in part 3, but had he appeared as this in the new universe he would have raped almost anyone to death. In a world of ''my stand makes your ass turn yellow during a blue moon if youre next to horseshoe crabs'' a ''ghost that punches'' is the champion.

There is no Stand that is overcomplicated like that
>>
Have you seen to the end?
>>
doesn't his stand also have hyper precision to where he can do surgery on people? it seems busted as fuck overall. just a "what if you had a superhuman assistant" extension of his will rather than a specific ability
>>
>>282037341
not to mention he can just stop time and get within the 5 meter radius

It has
>enough speed to stop a bullet from point-blank range
>enough strength to put a speeding vehicle to a dead stop with one blow
>enough precision to perform complex brain surgery under duress and create an extremely detailed drawing of a tiny fly in a grainy photo
>insane visual clarity and range
>like many stands, will subconsciously activate in the name of self-preservation on the user's behalf, even against his apparent will
>like many stands, has the vague ability to enter the user's body or overlay itself atop him to stop his own heart or give him a boost to his jumping ability by striking the ground in time with his footfall
>vague bullshit like Star Finger's ability to extend his range
>was somehow able to exit the prison cell Jotaro had confined himself in to bring him items, acting far beyond his normal range
>maximum 5 second time stop if he keeps in good shape and practices it
Star Platinum is simple, but crazy powerful because it's just a grab bag of psychic force abilities with a short range stipulation to act at full power. Time stop itself is stupid simple and stupid powerful even with such a short time limit. There's a reason DIO felt he had unlocked the ultimate power.

Not even close.

100% chance that was because Araki hadn't worked out details like Stand range yet.
>>
>>282040513
You see echoes of the idea even in later parts with Stands having somewhat loose rules on how they can work based on distance to the user and power. In part 6, White Snake was mediocre in combat most of the time, but was strong enough to easily defeat an injured Jolyne once Pucci was nearby. I just headcanon that all Stands, as an extension of the user's will, have some ability to venture away from the user or can shift in ability based on mentality, but can only exert their full power when in their ideal range. Some Stand users have crazy ranges, but their power is overall weaker or stricter as a result. Star Platinum is fairly basic, but it has a ton of raw power, so expending that power to venture away from Jotaro like a psychic limb sort of makes sense.

This one is explained by stealing shit from the police station confiscation room, although the RC car is probably more egregious than a beer or a radio.

Read the manga instead of meme accounts.

That description legit sounds like a banned card from a TCG. You know the ones, shit like Pot of Greed where you have like 500 videos all lasting around 20 minutes explaining why it breaks the game
>>
Jotaro's punches hurt a LOT though
>>
I think a protagonist with super clear strengths and weaknesses is ideal. Star platinum is useless at range, but if jotaro gets close to you and has any control over his body, you lose. It gives the reader the ability to somewhat accurately track the balance of power in a fight, and what kinds of things jotaro would need to do to win. Sure, the ball is dropped now and then like in the justice fight, but overall, part 3 is usually fairly effortless in communicating if the protagonist is in a good spot to win or not.
>>
>>282037426
this is a manifestation of jotaro's latent psychic energy of giving people the middle finger
>>
>>282042089
People in prison use RC cars to smuggle shit, it's not unreasonable that they'd do the same in jail where security is much lower, and thus have one or two in their confiscation room

He lost to a rat
>>
Does she count as a member of Jotaro's team?
>>
>>282042989
Didn't know that. That makes all of the stuff Jotaro stole pretty reasonable then, if you simply pretend that the break room or evidence room for confiscated stuff is within 5m/16 feet of his cell.
>>
>>282043033
Whatever happened to her?
>>
>>282043008
RATT was crazy op though. The stand itself is very powerful (it's basically a sniper you can't use your Star Platinum to block without taking damage) and it's wielded by a small rat who can run away easily
>>
>>282043064
The Stand would also have to travel through walls.
>>
>>282043987
Yeah but the frying pan deflect worked, if SP can deflect it once point blank im not sure how he couldnt just hold onto the pan and keep doing it. If you think execution would be difficult, consider how quickly and reliably he was countering dios punches.
