    You can do this against an AI in Wave mode
    The best method is to do this against a spare controller
    Run (hold A) at the other player
    Jump (A) and hold A+B to do a diving headbutt
    If they get knocked out you'll get this achievement

    This is my full 100% Achievement Walkthrough, all solo methods
    You only need an extra controller for the football achievement
    I also teach you how to play

    Wyyvern20 mins yesterday and 20 mins today, I've tried every solution, knocked out the other player so many times, no achievement still.

    edit - ended up being my final achievement. Melee game mode, Ring stage, no costumes on either player. Stood basically face to face with no runup, jumped and held b, and finally got it similar to the vid in Sitop Apen's solution.

    GoatlipsThe Drop Kick, and Big Head, achis are quite clunky, even if you know how the perform a flying kick/headbutt.
    Local, Melee (spare gamepad for P2), 8 rounds, Subway: Hold cn_A to run at P2, release cn_A and instantly tap cn_A to jump, then instantly hold cn_A+cn_X to perform a the flying kick, or hold cn_A+cn_B for the flying nut. Make sure you have a good run up - you'll hear a 'BISH!🥊' noise if you've concussed P2.
    If P2 sits down while you're retrying use the spare pad to stand them up. It's still quite clunky, so might take a few attempts.
    If you've only 1 controller you'll have to try Local/Wave mode, or Online, perhaps against your opponent during a football match (don't score in case they need the Shutout achi).

    After trying this one for a while and to no avail, I finally looked it up on youtube. After trying this technique, I got it first try

    I did not realize that the flying headbutt required you to jump and then hold down both A+B so you essentially go limp, I just thought it wasn't working.
    I hope this video helps you!

    TomjehThis cheevo is weird....tried for ages on rooftop using this method and nothing. Then changed to subway with a different costume for my 2nd controller and then this method worked straight away. Could be coincidence but idk....

    The goal of this achievement is to headbutt another player hard enough to knock them down. You do this by running with cn_A, jumping with the same button, and then holding cn_B to dive.

    This took a REALLY long time for me to get right, but after watching some videos on it, I think I have a better solution. If, like me, you keep head-butting your dummy/friend and it doesn't seen to be working, try to headbutt them in the back of the neck.

    For whatever reason, this worked the very first time for me. I was using a dummy in a local game at the time. Any map will do, though maps like Incinerator are best because they have long stretches of flat land. I'd recommend either Gang or Melee for the game mode.

    Hope this helps! toast

    Set game mode = Football (using 2nd controller but you can do this against AI in any Wave game mode)
    Minutes = 2 mins
    Stage = Alley

    If you are struggling to do this in Wave against the AI and have a 2nd controller you can do this in 2 player mode to make it easier.

    Run at the opponent by holding cn_A then just before you get to them press cn_A to jump at them and press AND HOLD cn_B to flying headbutt them. If you knock them out the achievement pops.

    The Achievement guide below will walk you through this achievement and all 18 others achievements in the game too including an easy method for getting the most difficult one in my opinion (Sit Down achievement).
