This battle is quite hard.
In fact, it's already annoying beforehand:
- Tifa needs to have exactly 77 Str for this to work, which means restarting the Icicles battles if it's lower (if it's higher it can be reduced via materia).
- I need her in a certain HP range, so that one attack from Schizo brings her HP in the critical zone.
I also had to reset her limit (can be done in the menu) before the fight.

On to the actual battle, this is the first battle where I use Deathblow=Added Cut, a combo I'll use till the end of the game. 
One of the Heads have to attack Tifa (she has the Fire Ring) on the first turn, else it's a restart.
After Tifa has Death Sentence and received the Hero Drink I use Deathblow (and of course it's not allowed to miss).

The next turn can be hard, I have to make sure Tifa uses a regular attack followed by Cloud healing and Cait using Fire2 to finish the Head. 
Sounds easy? Well you have to select it very quickly, else Schizo will get to attack again, screwing everything up. 
I also have to make sure to select attack with Tifa before she gets her Limit from the Ice Head's final attack.
The Fire Head goes down the same way, except I use Dice to finish it.
Dice dealing min damage (300) would most likely mean a restart but there's only a 1/18 chance of it happening, still would be pretty infuriating after getting so close :P
