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 X to do a diving kick
If they get knocked out you'll get this achievement

This is my full 100% Achievement Walkthrough, all solo methods

The 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

to run at P2, release

and instantly tap

to jump, then instantly hold

to perform a the flying kick, or hold

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).

Finicky, counterintuitive controls.

in case people are having trouble with this and head butt the trick is you MUST HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON when you knock them out to count if you just keep hitting X or B it won't work - Hope that helps -- Great guide by the way - Thanks

Thanks to TREX1979 for the clarification that you needed to hold down X in order to get it.

To make this easier use the incinerator level and put the 2nd person at the bottom of the stairs on the right. Run down the stairs, jump and hold down the kick button. You'll have a better chance to connect the drop kick.

What TREX1979 said...I tried this and the headbutt one for 30 minutes. Then I tried it your way and did both on the first try

The info about holding X should be in the solution. Once I did that the achievement finally unlocked.

Set game mode = Wave
Stage = Any
If you are struggling to do this 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

then just before you get to them press

to jump at them and press AND HOLD

to fly kick 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).

“Big Head" and “Drop Kick” are most easily completed on stages with multiple levels. Roof is recommended. It is also recommended that this achievement is done with a second inactive controller. With a running start, jump and press either or to do a diving headbutt or diving kick into the opponent. Once the opponent is concussed, the corresponding achievement will unlock. It’s recommended to soften the opponent up some before attempting the diving attacks.

You cannot earn this trophy online!. This must be done offline/in a local game only. To do a diving kick, you need to jump with , then immediately hit to kick. You can press them both at the same time as well.

If doing this solo (Waves mode), Subway is a really good level to get it on as the platform is large enough to crank out a few diving kicks on the enemies. If doing this in multiplayer, choose Soccer mode and the Alley stage. There are no obstacles to worry about here so just get close enough to the other player and do a dive kick in their face. Make sure the second player is facing you so you get them right in the kisser. It may take a few tries to actually knock them out, but as soon as you do, the trophy will unlock.

If you need a visual reference for getting this done, please see the video provided under Safety Warning. This trophy is shown at 00:08.
