Whats the quickest time you have ever defeated Ruby weapon in and at what level where you.

To be honest I only tackled Ruby weapon at lvl 99.

Somewhere in the 70'S, Probably in under 25 minutes.

I've seen videos where people defeat ruby in under 2 minutes, and another video with a guy defeating ruby with a Level 1 Yuffie.

"...quite possibly the greatest game ever made"

a lvl 1 yuffie. That's insane

I was level 54, and I didn't use KotR. Just Counter-Mime and Final Attack Pheonix. I went in with only Cloud alive with Cid and Tifa dead, had him Omnislash, Mime, he got hit, and countered with six more omnislashes. Mimed Omnislash hit. Cloud got hit again, omnislashed six more times. Then before I could manually mime it again, he died, and summoned pheonix. Everyone revived, and started miming pheonix. They got hit, summoned pheonix six times each. No one died after being revived the first time.

Edit

Because of all the lengthy summons, it took me about 20-30 minutes.

I can't remember how much seconds but I timed it. I used Cid and 7777 bashed it to death.

a level 1 Yuffie to beat a weapon? must be a joke ;p

hitting for 0's..

Hmm..around 1 h 15 min with the old and recycled strategy ( counter Omnislash), and using Pandora' s Box, Bahamut , Neo Bahamut and Bahamut ZERO. And ocassionaly Throwing money and stuff, and using Angel Whisper. I don't remember more details because it was more than 3 years ago. I wanted a clean fight, so I didn't use Knights of Round or Master Materias. I'll try with Cait' Sith's Game Over limit break later and tell you.

"Its no cheating if you don't get caught"

It's been quite some time since I last played VII, but it took me probably 10-15 minutes using the Mime-Omnislash trick

I can't even remember the last time I fought him. I seem to remember doing something poor like Hades, then constantly miming it until he was dead; no doubt this'll have taken me 40 minutes or so. Either that or the basic: go in with two dead guys, revive them when his arms come out, Hero Drinks all round, then Highwind, Meteorain (can't be bothered with Omnislash anymore) and Ungarmax for the rest of the time. That was probably around 25 minutes as a guestimate. Shame there's no timer on his fight.

maybe I'm entirely off base here, but doesn't the conformer do damage with respect to the enemy's level?

If that's the case, then a pump of yuffie's attack outside of her level (power source, etc.) would acutally inflict major damage with such a high level monster like Ruby.

Anyways, back on subject, sorta
I've never actually beaten ruby. I've never really taken the time to get all the mimes and final attack materias done up properly. I've never really even considered coming up with a tactic to defeat ruby. My biggest question is: how many times will the final attack materia respond? (I haven't played in awhile, and I just moved, so that stuff is all put away.)

It works corresponding to the stars on the materia. E.g. once for one star, two for two stars etc.

its impossible to have a level 1 yuffie she comes to you level 17 unless
your on PC hacking or cheating or something but its clearly impossible
to do so in the PSX version.

i never beated the ruby cause i hated it, i had the right materials but i was bored
while fighting cause it took me 75 minutes doing so i tryed to beat him at level
(42) LOL i never trained back then and that was my sucky file

Click and be enlightened, if you can read japanese, or have the item graffics memorised.

Yeah, I barely post.

I didn't see what the fuss was all about. Beat it today, level 60 something. Went in with just Cloud alive, Omnislashed, mimed once before being killed. Final Attack - Phoenix kicked in, and Ruby proceeded to kill both Red XIII and Yuffie, where Cloud just W-Summoned KotR, and then mimed Ruby to death. HP Absorb with KotR meant he healed full every time he used it, but I didn't use Counter. And for the record, Omnislash sucked - even with Ultima Weapon equipped, Cloud did 700-ish with each hit. Overall it took me less than half an hour - don't have a clue on the exact time though.

The exact time it took me was 4 minutes 20 seconds, killing him with vincent equipped with this combo... Death penalty with hp + materia double cut materia and the rest was mastered counter mimes and his armor was mystile all with mastered counter mimes that's a total of 6 counter-mimes all mastered, vincent was lvl 99 and did 9500+ dmg with each hit (as I powered up his weapon in the nebelheim forests for a long time, don't ask how long it's too long... made my time counter max out at 99:59 hehe) anyway just did 4xcut then mimed it over and over and over kinda simple got the video here too if you're really interested :S

Wow...that was kind of long (for just straight attacks) and so....calm. Haha.

Do the tentacles attack based on a percentage of your HP? Is that why Vincent doesn't die and the attacks get weak very quickly?

Yeah the claws work like demi attacks if you've ever used the gravity materia or laser enemy skill you'll know what I mean they do damage on a percentage on both Hp and Mp if you noticed, one claw does demi attacks on your hp the other on your mp they can't kill you for some reason, only ruby weapon himself can with ruby ray , comet 2, ultima, ruby flame or shadow flare.

Oh, it's one of those. I never had a good time with enemies that had an attack that did a high percentage of damage to weaken you severely and another (often physical attack) that hits hard to kill you. (Reminds me of getting Diablos in FFVIII. I played VIII before VII because my hand-me-down console only came with discs 1 and 3 for VII. )

So if you can keep ruby from attacking, then you can't die if the tentacles attack. That's good to know. Unfortunately, I'm probably not skilled enough to put that knowledge to good use.

The reason why he didn't have a chance to attack me was because vincent's dexterity was too high for the poor ruby weapon, that and I had so many counter mimes it overwhelmed him and the battle mode was set to recommended so he had to wait for me to finish shooting him over and over to let his turn build up to pull off one of his main attacks lol.

My fasted time probably wasn't very fast... it's been awhile since I've played FF7 (meaning a couple of years), but the last time I played it I went into battle with Cloud being the only one alive and used Hades and then Knights of the Round... Since Ruby isn't immune to stop the status effect made it easy to mime that combo and if I remember right... He only managed to get 1 or 2 hits in on me at the beginning of the battle. I'm sure you can imagine though, that this combo took time so I'd say it probably took about 20 or 30 minutes to beat him... not really great time.

The best time i got against ruby was 13 mins, it was my first time, and i was around lvl 80, i used cloud's omnislash and KotR with mime and counter materia.
It took me few tries, because i guess i wasn't really ready, but i did beat it, so im proud of it.
