I finished getting Kefka to 100, and I can say he isn't really weak, just different than other characters. His game is mostly a fake out one, where you expect his attacks to do one thing and end up doing another. One that I found particularly effective was his Firaga that stays as one big fireball that changes speed a size. Send it off, then you harass your opponent with here and there Thundagas till the Firaga hits. They'll be stuck in place, so it's perfect to throw in the scatter spray Blizzaga for massive brave damage, or if you're nearby you can hit with Havoc Wing for HP damage. And his versions of Meteor and Ultima look pretty awesome too.
As for his HP attacks, Trine is nice because you can hit anywhere on the map with it. Havoc Wing is good for punishing blocked hits. Forsaken Null is amazing if you're far enough away to use it without being hit, especially in EX mode since it tracks opponents. Hyperdrive can be good, I didn't play with it too much but I liked the idea behind it. Overall, Kefka is a decent fighter. I don't know if I'd main as him, but his style is a nice break from that of other casters.
