Wreck it Ralph

[Gaia]

I think he's there to show that, now that I remember that back then, Street Fighter didin't have much of a story so it was hard to tell "who was good" and "who was bad" (like many other details in the hayday, aka protoman). And as such, since Zangeif looked intimidating, he ended up on the "bad guy list" and was appropriately treated as such until the expansion of the universe (it also shows in the Street Fighter cartoon, you know, the one with the YES.. YES! meme?).
