Kefka uses Blizzaga a lot, which is dodged fairly easily.  Offensive appears to be the best defense in this battle, so pummel Kefka with Bravery attacks and unleash several Shift Breaks when you have him cornered.

Garland has a few decent attacks up his sleeve such as Cyclone, but he's still at a disadvantage because he's much slower than Zidane.  Pound him with bravery attacks and try to crush him before he gets a chance to catch up with you.

Kuja is fast and uses all kinds of magic.  As such it is difficult to deliver blows; It helps to flee towards the upper platforms and spam Tidal Flame with an occassional Swift Break in between while Kuja tries to reach you from below. Whenever EX Cores come into play, quickly rush towards them and perform your EX Burst if possible.
