Tusk act 5 wrote: but again, both star platinum and tusk act 4 operate around the same speed, and with a range of A, he could fire from more than 20 horse lengths, judging from johnny vs diego alt. uni. and also, ONE HIT would be needed. two stands, one with an A in range, one with C in range, get in a fistfight. no matter what, if jotaro attacks, hes fucked because johnny needs ONE FUCKING PUNCH to render jotaro useless. and about johnny never opening with tusk act 4, he did it twice. to be fair, it wasnt during major fights, but he opened with act 4. he did it to get gyro's corpse onto the boat, and again during his flashback in jojolion. and also, about jotaro charging in, he is actually very reserved quite a lot of the time. he only charged dio because he MURDERED HIS GRANDFATHER AND DISGRACED HIS DEAD CORPSE, and during the start of the steely dan arc, he pulled a quick jab as a warning shot. he didnt beat the shit out of steely until he was positive his stand ability was rendered null. during the ratt arc, jotaro prepared josuke and carefully studied their abilities instead of telling josuke to charge in without knowing their abilities. during the akira arc, he correctly deduced akira would use an rc plane, and told josuke. during the first few episodes when he fought avdol, he only attacked in self defence, didnt follow through with his steel bars when avdol turned his back to jotaro, and only stayed because he didnt want to hurt any more people. during the final battle vs kira, he didnt attack instantly because he knew how far he could go with timestop and remained reserved. he almost always attacks in SELF DEFENCE. meanwhile johnny attacks pretty quickly when he sees an enemy. and also, when he sees that jotaro has an identical ability to alt. uni. diego, he wilol know to activate act 4 Your two examples on Johnny 'opening with ACT 4' are rendered completely null by what you yourself said. They were used outside of combat for purposes that REQUIRED the Infinite Rotation.

I also don't think you understand the fact that ACT 4 WON'T be able to land a punch on Star Platinum. The moment it even gets in range, the first to throw and land a punch will be Star Platinum, and that'll pretty much seal the rest of the fight in Jotaro's favor since ACT 4 will be forced into the defensive and become unable to strike Star Platinum with the Infinite Rotation.

In the Ratt arc, Bug-Eaten was out of his range. It's as simple as that. He couldn't rush in head-first without getting shot immediately. And I'm going to correct you by stating that he DID know Bug-Eaten's ability. Y'know, because he was already hit by it once before. Here's a list of all of Jotaro's P3 fights in which he immediately (or almost immediately) went for direct attacks:

- Jotaro vs. Kakyoin

- Jotaro vs. Captain Tennille

- Jotaro vs. Forever

- Jotaro vs. Rubber Soul

- Jotaro vs. Khan

- Jotaro vs. DIO

This isn't counting any of his P4 fights, which mainly just includes his first fight against Kira. As you can see, Jotaro has primarily resorted to attacking his opponent head-first in the majority of his fights, excluding the ones where he COULDN'T attack the enemy, or he couldn't see them whatsoever.

As far as Jotaro is concerned, timestop is the one opportunity he has to instantly nail the enemy where they stand. He won't use it until he's completely sure he'll actually be able to attack the enemy at the closest range possible. That's also why he didn't use timestop on Kosaku-Kira from the start. Kira was out of his range, so using timestop would be a waste. Jotaro won't wait for his enemy to make the first move, but he will if he knows that attacking immediately would put him at a disadvantage or only escalate the situation. That's why Johnny won't know to activate ACT 4 before it's too late, as by the time Jotaro even uses timestop, he'll be completely certain that he can subdue Johnny. He won't teleport around or throw knives like Diego did--the very moment time is frozen, Jotaro will have already won.
