My stratergy is have only cloud alive, go in with limit (omni-slash), use limit, then mine it but i think your stratergy might be better. Well done for figuring it out!
As I explained in the info, limits are not good choice, because their damage is low. Although I like Cloud, the damage of his ultimate weapon decreases with his HP drop. It is still doable, but my guess is that it takes long time (and extra grinding for max of some stats).
@SquallSf I've beat Ruby once and my stratergy was the way i beat it, DUH. I didnt max out his stats and i didnt use his ultimate weapon because i wanted to triple the amount of AP (or whatever its called to level up my materia) it did take a while and a few attemps though. I might have to steal your stratergy for my next playthrough, its been a while, i might have to start after beating VIII :P
@SquallSf I already got the lion heart on Disc 1 :) Took some time getting the items from the cards though :P. I may need to look up those Omega hints, i'm currently at the lunatic pandora at the end of Disc 3, just need to get Doomtrain and i have all the GF's, Selfies only level 13 though... Ooops, i neglect the party i dont use, i'll have to level them up before disc 4.
Nice method. You must have gotten really lucky or something because his tentacles only countered with MP damage. Usually they do around 90% of HP about half the time to me. Check out my video. I fight both Weapons in under 9 minutes with:
No cheats of any kind used
No KOTR or any other summons
No Limit Breaks used
No 7777s
No Final Attack materia
No Revive or Restore or any other magic (including Enemy Skill)
Hero Drink (medicine) is the only item used (no dazers)
As I stated "a little bit of luck" ... which means no more than 1 hit from the right tentacle (~3k damage).
My main goal for this video was to show how to beat Ruby as early as possible and take gold chokobo (without breeding, without spending days for stats).
In my opinion Cloud is one of the 2 worst choises to solo Ruby, because no max damage,damage decrease with loss of health.
P.S. I can defeat both in less than 3 min (1:30 with overflow). See it in my other videos^^

@ThatMellon you may 'steal' as much as you like :D
Have fun in FF VIII. Although VII is my favorite game, Squall is my favorite character ^^
If you need hints on how to solo Omega, you may check my 2 videos on FF VIII.
Also if you like challenges - try to get Lion Heart sword on disk 1 :P
