Reminds me of what people were saying about Lupe after the Daigo match. Apparently, Lupe was claiming to be the true undefeated Street Fighter champion (and no-one can take that away) though he was dismissing challengers by saying "I fight Japanese fighters as they are the only players I respect". He also claimed MK was for people who couldn't play SF (though ducked challenges from MK players saying they'd play him at SF). He's one of those "elitist casuals" who dismiss MK entirely, only plays SF and thinks that the Japanese are his only challengers.
Weirdly enough, there were also a few people he was threatening to actually fight them, physically, no joke.
So eh, the casual mindset of fighters is just weird. You have this "standard casual" mindset but then you have the "elitist casual".
