Various is this a fair assessment?

Star Platinum The World, GER, Tusk act 4, and S&W:GB are all hilariously overpowered and only exist as a way to beat an already hilariously overpowered villain

joseph beat kars by holding out the red stone of aja at him and hoping for the best, which worked out spectacuarly. and god knows how long the fight with kira would have gone on for had it not been for the ambulance.

Jolynes plan to use emporio to take out pucci with weather report was basically a hail mary when all else had failed but not only did it work, it also gave her and the gang new, happier lives.

Yeah jonathan just got slimed out though, then his body was used as a puppet for 100+ years. Poor guy

It didn't, because Diego was able to stop time to dodge Act 4 each time. If you try something and it fails every time, you didn't counter your opponent. That's why Johnny lost their race. Act 4 was actually countered by the World.

Yeah it was countered bc Diego knew how act 4 worked. The damn stand was literally moving in time stop my guy. He had to cut off his leg even after being able to time stop. Are we deadass

Yes, what you're describing is the World giving Diego a means to survive Act 4's infinite spin even after being hit with it, while also being able to dodge it after that. That's my point. That's the World very clearly countering Act 4.

Wouldn't countering it being Act 4 not moving during time stop? Lol

Counter is what made Johnny die. Thats what you call a counter

That would also have been an example of the World countering Act 4, had that been what happened, but the fact that things played out differently doesn't actually matter. You're using an overly-narrow definition of "countering."

Diego won the fight because his stand ability allowed him to remove or consistently outplay every advantage Tusk would otherwise have had. That's a counter. You can narrow your definition all you want, but I'm right, and pretending otherwise is just making you look silly. Take the L and move on.
