Zangief: Mid Fodder - Basically Guile minus the memes (no, half_silver's argument does not convince me that 'Gief's truly well-remembered), so he should arguably be Low Fodder if anything, but I'm biased because he's always been my favorite Street Fighter character. Also, for what it's worth, we really don't know that Bison still has strength, considering we haven't seen anything from him in the past ten years contest-wise.

Whispy: Low Fodder
Popo: Low Fodder - The Ice Climbers have become somewhat of a Smash fan favorite, true, but I'm not convinced that translates much to one solo Climber in a contest setting.

Chuck Norris: Low Fodder - If Zangief is Guile without the memes, Chuck Norris is Guile without games people remotely care about, complete with the lack of relevance such a label implies.

On that note, nominate M. Bison for reranking, because calling him almost as strong as Chun-Li and her TJF plus fan-favorite status after Ryu (and Guile)'s 2018 disappointment seems like a stretch. Arguably, he wasn't even a Low Midcarder all the way back in Villains, and he won't have gotten stronger since.
