Short version: I think Jotaro can focus Star Platinum's Time Stop ability to only affect individuals it has punched.

Long version: Developmental Potential at C even after Jotaro mastered Time Stop? I have an idea as to why that is and what he could do with it other than stopping the universal flow of time: I think Jotaro can use Star Platinum's Time Stop to put someone in a temporal stasis by stopping their intrinsic flow of time. Star Platinum punches you, suddenly you're unable to move and your awareness of what's happening with you or your surroundings is gone because for you, the flow of time has been stopped, and then you're Oraora'd to oblivion, because the damage you're inflicted with during the stasis is retained and accumulated and will affect you all at once the second Jotaro removed it.

It's like King Crimson, but targeted at just one person, one second you were punched, the next thing you know, five seconds has passed without your knowledge and you're already retired from the fight because your body is bruised all over. And using it like this wouldn't be as straining as doing a universal time stop for Jotaro's heart.
