Strong typically associated with strength, putting Star Platinum at the top, but if you were to say aa if it is strongest in abilities, then you could say GER and Made in Heaven.

We all know star Platinum be no.1 doe ;) Up to part 6 time-stop is considered the "strongest stand ability ever"and the "most invincible stand ability that has ever existed" not once but twice by Araki's own word. Notice that it refers to the ability, not to the sheer strength of the stand.

That's why it can be argued it may even defeat GER. Perhaps GER isn't that allmightly against time stands, I've even read people saying that time's still running during time skip, so it's not the same than time stop... ahh, but anytime you start with that you start doing only heavy speculations, so it's kinda pointless.

Going back to the point, that was before MiH was a thing and before parts 7 and 8 so that's no longer true due to the large amount of stands that have come during that time. Several abilities from those parts are excellent contendants (and several are totally impossible to overcome for SP:TW [spoilers] How would Jotaro bypass Love Train's barrier? How would he reach the Head Doctor unharmed? He can't win in those situations by sheer power).

That said, as invincible as an ability can be as Nijimura or DIO pointed the user defines the stand. No stand is truly invincible due to the actions of its user (Kira would have won if he didn't shout out his name like an idiot, Jotaro would've defeated Pucci if he wouldn't care about his daughter). Not gonna lie but, are trying to state that everyone's being Okuyasu?
