Hm well heres how I beat them. You probably won't get much tips out of it, but meh, I tried.
Bahamut: Well, all I did was use Yuna as a Dark knight, Paine as her initial Warrior, and Rikku as an Alchemist. I kept on using Darkness, attacking with Paine, and Healing with Rikku when it was needed. Bahamut was fairly easy, but you should still be sure to be ready to heal when he uses Mega Flare
Yojimbo: This guy was quite hard. He used Zanmato, which put's the party's HP to critical, and then he immediately uses another attack if you are not quick enough in getting a turn before that. Just continually heal when needed, and keep on attacking him when you think your HP is at a steady level.
Valefor: Meh, I just used the same strategy for this guy as I did for Yojimbo. Just watch out for Energy Ray/Burst. This guy also has some high agility.
Ifrit: Bring Hi-Potions! Meteor Strike and Hellfire do some serious damage. Just attack him like crazy, and use Hi potions to heal when needed.
Ixion: I thought he was easy, but just be aware that Thor's hammer is a non-elemental attack, not a thunder elemental, so don't bother equipping anything that guards against thunder. Also make sure to have planty of Hi-Potions.
Shiva: She's fast, and uses Heavenly Strike which can put stop on you, so make sure you guard it with something. I used Black Sky, with Yuna, and when my MP ran out I switched to Darkness. I also did the same thing with Paine, and I made Rikku use her Stash of Mega-Potions that you can get by leveling up the Alchemist dressphere.
Magus Sisters: Man, hard. Make Yuna and Paine both use Darkness, and get Rikku to use a Mega potion every round. If you want, you can use Black sky also. Just be sure to kill off Mindy first, so that she cannot use Passado anymore, and that the remaining two sisters cannot use Delta Attack. After that, I found it walk in the Park.
Well that's what I did, just attacked them like crazy. Probably didn't help, but I tried.
Firstly, thanks BMD. Secondly, JESUS CHRIST, I didn't realise there was all them, I thought there was only a few. Lastly, all tips are useful in one way or another.

The magna sisters work as a team kill off the weakest one first I suggest Using the one path to unlock your charcters ultimate dress sphere. Fight Them with one character at a time using this method. If that charcter dies just bring them back with a phoenix down and repeat. If they use an element equip something to absorb neutralize or halve their attacks.
