IMO, Blanka gives Guile more trouble than any of those characters.
Guile has an advantage on all the characters you listed as well.
To give Guile a good fight you need either Ryu or Sagat.

 Must be a pretty pathetic Guile...

 One thing about the constant Blanka barrage is that you have to do alot
of aerial attacks one right after another. (No low attacks.) Low attacks
give Guile an opportunity to charge.

 He was mis-timing his razor kick. A properly timed razor kick will kick
you out of any attack by any character.

 AHEM. I think it is fairly easily countered by Blanka. In TCE, his bite
has been increased to one of the highest priority, longest range throws, IMO.
If Guile gets up next to you and starts jabbing like crazy, just push
towards him and tap fierce. If Guile is too close, Blanka'll hop right on
and munch away. Otherwise, you could do the ball off the ground and hit
Guile with it...
