Obviously, there are countless ways to defeat FF7's optional superbosses, Emerald and Ruby Weapon. Yet, this is arguably the fastest way to kill Ruby Weapon if one accounts for setup time. Both the battle (it takes about 2 minutes (!)) and the setup are very fast. No grinding is required, the necessary equipment is very basic as well as fast and easy to acquire.

I made this Ruby Weapon strategy to use it in 100% FF7 speedruns. In a 100% speedrun of FF7, you have to defeat all of the weapons. Hence, you are assumed to have already killed Ultimate and Emerald Weapon as the weapon battle order Ultimate - Emerald - Ruby yields by far the shortest cumulative battle and setup time.
