Final Fantasy VII Ruby Weapon Enemy Skill Only Solo Character Challenge (SCESO) Part 1/3

Some people claim that a Ruby Weapon ESO challenge is the hardest battle challenge there is in Final Fantasy VII. I absolutely beg to differ since it would at least have to be a Ruby Weapon Solo Character ESO challenge that constitutes the greatest challenge in FF7...;) Regardless, from my point of view the hardest battle challenge in FF7 is another one; one which I am still about to analyze in order to find a way to actually make that challenge possible (not to mention no one has ever been victorious in the challenge I am currently thinking about...).
Yet, to comment on my latest Ruby Weapon SCESO challenge, I should outline that, while being able to resort to exclusively a single character, one has to be very frugal in terms of one's MP. Even though one can and one will have to absorb Ruby's and his tentacles' MP, their MP supply is by no means unlimited since Ruby comes with a mere 2560MP and his tentacles each with 1000MP. Taking into account that one will be attacked by Ruby's left tentacle, which will drain either 15/32 or even 25/32 of one's current MP and thereby evaporate quite a considerable amount of MP into nothingness, one may only deploy the most MP-efficient Enemy Skills. Granted, one may doubt that Angel Whisper and Dragon Force are representatives of MP saving, yet they are undoubtedly unrivaled with respect to their usefulness. So, not being able to abstain from utilizing these rather costly supportive skills, one will have to be even more economical in choosing offensive spells. By analyzing all potential attacks, one will quickly conclude that the only Enemy Skill able to do 9999 HP of damage even to Ruby Weapon and moreover for a ridiculously low price is the just as ridiculously often underestimated Chocobuckle. Although ???? seems to be a ponderable alternative, it is by far not as economical as the aforementioned spell, not to mention that its damage is not at all reliable.
Finally, having to deal with the question of whom to use in this SC challenge, I can only recommend characters with a sufficient supply of MP (Vincent and Cloud) and would personally opt for Cloud as he definitely compensates for Vincent's slightly higher max MP (915 to 905 to be precise) by a vast advantage in HP.

Tracklist:
1) Clash on the Big Bridge (Black Mages)
2) Black Beat (FF VII BC OST)
3) Reunion (FF VII OST)

@hispanicmonkey68 The battle I am currently conceiving of a strategy for: Emerald Weapon Enemy Skill Only, Solo Character. If you know someone has already been successful in this challenge, please correct me.;)

@darkkloud666 As of now, I have also completed that challange (Final Fantasy VII Emerald Weapon Enemy Skill Only Solo Character Challenge (SCESO)) /watch?v=tjX3UiEgDTQ . You do not happen to have a video of you doing that challenge, do you? From my point of view, this challenge is clearly one of the hardest challenges in FF7/the series off FF. It relies slightly on luck and incredibly intensively on an insane strategy. ;)
