Sky is a smasher from San Jose, California who currently resides in Los Angeles, California, and mains Wario in Brawl and Yoshi in Smash 4, and has beaten top players such as Larry Lurr. He frequently teams up with Zex in both Brawl and Smash 4, beginning with Apex 2012. Many top players who either live with him or have stayed at his house have said that he is the best Yoshi in Smash 4, despite him not going to many tournaments. The two majors he did attend, though (Apex 2015 and EVO 2015), he has placed 49th and 129th at respectively. Sky was formerly ranked 83rd on the 2014 SSBBRank. He has since been outed for allowing exploitations and abuse to occur in the Sky House, and owing $350,000 to various people.

Sky is best known for his YouTube and Twitch channels, where he makes comedic content mainly about League of Legends, with over 850,000 subscribers on YouTube and over 250,000 followers on Twitch, and is also a stand-up comedian. He has also provided commentary for some Smash tournaments, most notably Apex 2015 and GENESIS 3.

Sky Williams has been the center of several in-jokes and memes within the Smash community, including "Sky has the best Yoshi in the world" and "Dunkey beat Sky in Smash."

Sky is ranked 3rd on the NorCal Brawl Power Rankings.

Sexual Abuse Allegations

In 2020, Sky was accused by several people in the competitive scene for being complicit in the abuse that happened to several smashers that took vacancy within his "Sky Houses", which were used to house several professional smash players. The victims allege that Sky did not place any protections over the women and minors who lived in the houses, and was aware of the incidents of sex abuse and assault that occurred. He also was accused of sexually and financially manipulating many of the guests as well.[1][2][3] On July 6th, he livestreamed a 2 hour long apology on Twitch, shortly before his roommate unplugged his router at the home.[4][5] Later on August 1st, he posted a 90 minute video onto his YouTube channel to where ⁠Sky addresses the claims and apologizes to Jisu, one of the victims, and says that he truly cares and promises to keep their names out of his mouth and doesn’t refer to any of the abusers by name as he did in the previous livestream and regrets ever having a minor in the house. Sky later mentions in the video that he’s going to continue streaming regardless of what happened until he pays off his debts, and announces that he will depart from the community if his presence is no longer needed.[6]
