chillindude829 (commonly known as chillin) is an American professional smasher and member of H2YL. He is known for his extravagant and flashy Fox play and is considered among the best Fox mains in the world. Chillin has been a contender in the smash scene since the birth of Melee as a competitive game. He writes a lot of his past history and the origins or Melee in his blog, "History of a Smasher", on Smashboards. Chillin is currently ranked 3rd on the MD/VA Melee Power Rankings, and was also ranked 8th on the discontinued Smash Panel Power Rankings.
Throughout the duration of Melee in its prime, Chillin attended several tournaments, creating a name for himself. Chillin is very well known for being the first notable Fox and the first player ever to beat Ken at a tournament, at Game Over in 2004, and had a fierce rivalry with Mew2King. During 2008-2010, after Melee presence died out as Brawl tournaments began appearing, Chillin continued to play Melee, though no longer at the same level he used to. He also briefly played Brawl during this time, but has since quit. He does not view Brawl as a competitively viable fighter due to its removal of techniques and overly defensive gameplay, which, in his opinion, take away the depth of the game, but does have respect for the players for developing a competitive scene out of it anyways.
In 2011, Chillin accompanied his long time friend and doubles partner Azen in Azen's first tournament appearance in almost four years at Pound 5 in February 2011, where they placed 9th. He and Azen then started a new YouTube series, "Fight Nights with Azen and Chillin," in which they would talk about fighting games and aim to share strategies and help others improve.
Trivia
- Early in his career, Chillin developed a number of combos which players used to refer to as the "Chillin combos":
- Combo #1: 3 up airs in a row (normally after up throw against other fast fallers)
- Combo #2: Waveshining across the stage and one more shine to KO someone.
