His powers are actually the ones that have no -fly, Ill/Sonic has absolutely no way to stop flight except *possibly* sonic cage, in which case, he won't be able to attack you anyway. He can use it on your pet though, or possibly even confuse your pet if he puts enough effort into it. he'll also be able to KB you around with Sonic Repulsion, provided he has it, and you have no -KB IOs. All of /Sonic's buffs/debuffs can be cast on his phantasm, but not the other Ill/ pets, however that will make his Phantasm a tough one. His Sonic Dispersion has -Immob, -Held and -Stun protection, and all of your -fly
effects are in your Immob's so i'm not sure if he'd be stopped from flying and just not be Immob'd or neither. SD gives him an advantage of being a bit more resilient to both control powers and damage. He may be able to keep you and/or your pet feared with Spectral Terror and It's also likely he'll be able to get the drop on you since he probably has Superior Invis or Group Invis.
Entangle, Roots and Carrion Creepers all have -fly components in them and you should be able to overcome his Immob protection with any combination of two of those powers. Carrion Creepers has a slow effect built in, and when combined with Siphon Speed will make anything crawl slower than a turtle running in half-dried glue... even if, by some slim miracle he is still able to fly, run, or jump it won't be fast enough to escape. Possibly if he had Teleport, he'd have an opportunity to get away, otherwise i'd say you could stop him. You can also Speed Boost your Fly Trap so it can run circles around him and his pets, it won't help your pet's attack speed, but it'll be able to catch him in the off chance he's able to run away. You may be able to confuse his Phantasm, but i think it's unlikely with the long recharge on Seeds. also, unless he's gone into the Medicine pool, you're the only one who can heal back your damage taken, and you have 2 means to do it with Transfusion and Spirit Tree.
It could be a tough battle, or a very quick one depending on both of your specific power choices and how you use them. That of course, doesn't take set bonuses and the like into consideration. I'd probably start off using Siphon Speed first to slow his movement/recharge and boost my own, then drop immobs etc on him so he couldnt move, maybe hold his phantasm somewhere close to me so i could Transfusion off of it and ignore his other pets since you can't damage them anyway. From the sound of it, he doesn't think you can stop him from running which means A) he's *probably* planning on making you chase him around while his pets pick you off, and B) you can surprise him and catch him off guard when his plan doesn't work (because he can't run), which should give you an advantage.
Your best bet is to ask someone like Macskull by PM. From what I gather, the player > toon, so any specific insights the real hardcores have will give you a much better idea of what powers to take, how to use them and what odds you face.
If you are using zone rules, movement suppression might take away any mobility advantage he may have, although kinetics are supposedly not a very good set in PvP atm.
If you are really nice, perhaps they could give you some arena time with them to figure things out as well.
Who is this macskull guy? Really I'd need to know more about your builds, the rules of the match, etc. Neither of you are going to have very much damage, for sure, but you might have the edge in useful buffs/debuffs. Toss up, I'd say, without knowing more.

Yeah because most of my moves need to be at the ground to do anything...but most likely he will want his fly so no movement supression just plain pre I13 fighting I guess. Idk

Well for fun me and my sg leader are gonna have a little battle when I get 32 on my troller. I am Plant/kin he is Ill/sonic. He says he'll win because my moves will have no -fly to keep him from getting away. I need some other people to weigh in on this. Even if he is right I could always just respec'd out of hover and get that other move. His pets can't really be killed but his decoy's can be stopped by my creeper vines. Does anyone think I have a chance?
