Again, I think you're giving Jotaro too much credit.

Jotaro is able to adapt his tactics in his fight because he experiments. He fights in a rather predictable way. First, he tries to just pummel the enemy because that's the quickest way to end it. If that doesn't work, he tries to find the enemy weakness and exploit it in order to get into close range. Then he finishes the fight with a well-placed ORA! barrage and the fight's over. That is how 90% of Jotaro's fights go, and it works because Star Platinum is incredibly powerful and Jotaro is a clever fighter.

What I'm arguing here is that Tusk ACT 4 takes advantage of the fact that Jotaro always STARTS the fight with a direct approach. Every single time, Jotaro tries to end the fight quickly by smashing the enemy, and turns to clever thinking only when that doesn't work. But the moment he tries the direct approach against ACT 4, he loses.

It's absolutely possible for Jotaro to win this match, but it would require him to behave in ways that are somewhat out of character. Jotaro would never try to dodge Johnny's bullets, because he has no reason to assume that they would harm him just from touch (we know this because that's how he behaves during the Ratt fight). Jotaro would never cut off his own limb to win. He would try to find a way to beat the enemy to cancel the ability before it killed him (because that's how he behaves during the Yellow Temperance fight). While it's totally possible for Jotaro to win, it's just out of character for him to behave way.
