I think it still has its drawbacks like most JJBA stands, gameplay-wise it's slow and short-ranged, which I think makes it a bit like Okuyasu's The Hand, which gets dodged or out-punched easily and I'm guessing all of its air manipulation techniques (especially the elemental stuff) likely take a few seconds to take effect, which in JJBA is like a whole damn page or a minute of anime time. Killer Queen can blow someone or something up immediately on contact, and The Hand's space warp is instant as well. I reckon the skull jar in the middle is the tangible weak spot that can get hit by "physical" stands so I don't think being smoke is that much of a bonus, especially since I think it means it can't propely defend its user from quick rush attacks like other close range stands.
