'''Arbiter''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[commentator]] from Los Angeles, California, who currently resides in Seattle, Washington. He began his career by streaming ''[[Ultimate]]'' viewer battles on Twitch. As a result was invited to the [[Team:Smash Crew Server|Smash Crew]] [[Discord]] where he began streaming and solo commentating over 100 Wi-Fi [[crew battles]] for the SCS on his [https://twitch.tv/ArbiterSkyward Twitch channel]. He gained a small following doing [[crew battle]] streams, but was later raided by {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} and grew his audience and notability.

In 2021, he gradually started commentating for Wi-Fi events such as {{Trn|Super Smash Galaxy 2}} and [[Tournament:The Box (series)|The Coin Box]] series. Following the return of offline competitive play, Arbiter started commentating at regionals such as {{Trn|Pinnacle 2021}} and {{Trn|Back in Blood 3}}, and majors such as {{Trn|Port Priority 6}}, {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2022}}, and {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}}. He is known for high-energy commentary at a level that stands out from other professional commentators, being called ''"One of the greatest commentators Smash has ever seen."'' by {{Sm|Hungrybox}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1504339881304240128</ref>

In both ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'', Arbiter is a [[Link]] main.

On April 16th, 2021, Arbiter was officially announced to be sponsored with {{Team|Global Breakout}} as a commentator and content creator.
