Stage Mode - Can't beat stage 3 difficult

I also can't beat stage 3 difficult. What I do something wrong?

You actually seem to be doing pretty well, you can consistently pull off Woody's D^A>JA and can defend against physical attacks quickly. In 3-2 you tended to charge into a group with >>JA. In 3-4 you lost to John because you seem to have gotten a bit tired and started to make input mistakes, then got punished for it when they get behind you during D^A. The last problem is that you are a bit too eager to use normal attacks on sorcerers; they hit pretty fast. Finally, your timing on deflecting balls is a bit off, tending to get hit by fireball.
