Maya edge selection issue [Solved]

Krato

I'm following along with a tutorial and I must have hit some button and now it's seriously hindering my ability to follow along. When i try to select and edge the target edge turns green and the edges next to it turn red, when i modify the target edge the others react as well. I know its some sort of group modify tool or something, but I have no idea how to turn it off and clearly it wasn't intended in the tutorial.

Edit: After googling 50 different ways I found an old post on some other website, apparently I had hit the "b" key and turned on soft select.

Additionally he is selecting one edge at a time while im selecting groups as shown in the GIF below.
