==Tournament history==


===''[[Melee]]''===
Hylian entered the competitive scene with Melee in 2003. Originally a {{SSBM|Marth}} [[main]], he switched to {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Samus}} soon after in 2004. He frequently attended tournaments in the Texas scene before retiring from Melee in 2009 to focus on [[Brawl]]. In 2014, he began to play again, and practices with {{Sm|Darkatma}}.

===''[[Brawl]]''===
Hylian entered the competitive scene with Melee in 2003. Originally a Marth main, he switched to Fox/Samus soon after in 2004. Known for his technical style and unmatched laser game with Fox, he frequently attended tournaments in the Texas scene before retiring from Melee in 2009 to focus on Brawl. In 2014 he picked up melee again and practices with Darkatma in missouri, though he has yet to enter any major melee tournament since his return. His most notable placing was 13th at Apex 2009.
Hylian was a top Brawl player from 2008-2010, taking tournament sets off notable players such as {{Sm|Tyrant}}, {{Sm|Dojo}}, {{Sm|Lain}} and others. He brought the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} inescapable grab combos to attention in Texas after his 1st place finish with them at the large Texas tournament, HOBO 4. He is known for being the first player to use their standing infinites in tournament, and for developing their [[footstool]] [[chain grabs]] after Texas banned Ice Climbers from using [[infinite]] chaingrabs in tournament play. While more known for his Ice Climbers, he originally mained {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and saw much success with the character.


==''[[Brawl]]''==
===''[[Project M]]''===
Hylian entered the Project M scene during 2.1's release as a {{PM|Link}} main. Showcasing various tricks the character could do, he was often ranked the best Link main by people until 2.6, when others started seeing success with the character. Soon after entering the scene, he joined the Project M Development Team as a play-tester. His main focus is balance testing and he contributes to many characters, with {{PM|Ice Climbers}} being his main focus of development.

Hylian mains Shulk, Bowser Jr., and Pac-Man in Smash4. Despite the fact that he was a top brawl player, he has professed to not enjoying Smash 4 citing it as "having lost player expression somewhere in the process of adding combos without meaningful movement options".
