Red Garland is essentially 'Star Platinum but not', so one has to compare things.

Power: It's higher than Star Platinum's. Star Platinum has an A. Even if it's not much more, it's still enough to be in the same tier.

Speed: You got a point there. Star Platinum is stupid fast, too, having 31 for a base when that's the base average for Speed Types.

Range: Star Platinum has a C and has no real range moves either. However, D rank is too low. Diver Down has an E rank and it shows. Anyway, C-ranking means it can reach about 20 meters away from the user, which is pretty good all things considered.

Durability: Believe it or not, it's higher than Star Platinum's base stat. As in, 7.

Potential: This one is less important in the grand scheme, but anyway... A rank Potential means that the Stand can do far more than what one can tell at first glance. Compare it to Adam Ant, which is literally too stupid because it's a thousand bugs in a hivemind that can't obey more than simple commands.

Also, Red Garland Requiem is better than you'd expect. It WILL reduce enemy stats and SP, meaning they'll grow weaker and lose energy to fight the more you punch them, and it has a default 80% chance of inflicting EVERY status effect, INCLUDING instantly killing the target, like Tower of Gray's piercing needle.

Its major flaw is that it cannot draw the power to unleash the Requiem more than twice even at level 50 without an SP boost. Star Platinum has the same deal with his time stop ability.
