Kuja's attacks are surprisingly weak with the notable exception of his annoying Flare Star.  Dodge this and follow up with bravery attacks.  When Kuja has been weakened enough, finish the fight with a few more HP attacks.

Warrior of Light is a close-ranged fighter like Squall, so you're facing an opponent of similar strength.  Dodging his attacks will prove crucial for success, as does charging towards Warrior from a distance, only to stop shortly before him to perform an Aerial Circle.  This is most effective after sapping some of his Bravery away first.

Ultimecia uses powerful long range magic spells such as Apocalypse and Shockwave Pulsar.  You'll want to stay away from her and only rush in to drain he bravery. When a comfortable amount of her bravery has been drained, dash to her and perform HP attacks.  As usual, it helps a great deal to acquire any EX cores before she can and to perform a perfect Renzokuken for additional damage.
