'''Hylian''', also known as '''Hylian88''', is a Missouri [[smasher]] who has been playing competitively since 2003. He originally lived in Texas. He is an administrator for [[SmashBoards]], and a member of the ''[[Project M]]'' Development Team.

==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 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.

===''[[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.
