It can keep you looking younger, let you walk on water, and FUCKING HEAL YOU.
But, nope it's all about stand power even when could've used the ripple to heal everyone in Crusaders like when the guy almost went blind and Joseph got stabbed in the chest self heal nope.

stands have more variety, and look cool.

It might be because of an enemy stand.

I admit hamon and ripple are cool but the stands are top tier. Each one is different and unique...unless you match the one that says muda muda against the one that says ora ora. :P

You're really deliberately doing this, aren't you?

Because it just like Pokemon. It's evolved to Stand.

But yeah. Joseph should make people learn hamon as a martial art.

Pretty much this. Also, without the Stands, JoJo would lost a big part of it's identity.

Ripple already reached its limit. Stand is way more powerful. Aganst time stopping, time reseting or time erasing, Ripple can't do much.

Ripple need training to be use so not anyone can use it like Stand so its very limiting to what kind of character can use them. With Stand, even a baby can use it.

Ripple was a detriment to the series. Stands are far more diverse and really one of the the reasons for the series popularity.

Ripple has too many limitations. Maybe Araki got lazy making training arcs in ripple and adding more unique traits. Stands have no limitations and can be used by anyone be it a baby, a plankton, a thing, or whatever. It can also has bs abilities and it is also easier to write stands than hamon. Notice that part 1 and part 2 combined cant get more episodes than other parts with stands.

Moved from Anime Discussion

Stardust Crusaders introduced stands, which have a more identifiable theme about them, have greater variety in how they can be used, and are able to be used by both villains and heroes, so it kind of levels the field for them. At least, that's what it seems like.

Because the ripple is one of the most poorly defined plot devices ever, seemingly able to do anything that the plot demands of.

Stands have more diversity doesn't mean Ripple should be forgotten.
So, I'd say bad writtings is real reason.
Sorry for my bad English.

Well, the Ripple worked really well against vampires and pillar men, I don't see the point in using it against anything else.
It's not like it wouldn't do anything, but Stands are really awesome, you never know what kind of power they have.
