How to unlock the Old Dog, New Tricks achievement in Shadow Complex Remastered - Definitive Guide

I got stuck and the achievement didn't unlock, so I decided to get help from Glokas and write this little guide. Full credits go to Glokas, he's the kind sir who helped me get it!
So you need to kill an enemy while:
Running towards an enemy (Dropkick)
Jumping onto an enemy (Dropdown Takedown)
Standing between two enemies (Double Takedown)
Hanging below an enemy (Hanging Takedown 1)
Hanging ABOVE an enemy (Hanging Takedown 2) - This is the one that I've been missing and it's that easy: just go into any room that has an enemy with a ceiling closely above him, use the hook to hold onto the ceiling, press B and that's it! This should be the one most people are missing! I'm not 100% sure if you need any more, like standing/crouching but the 4 mentioned above should be the only ones you may not get by accident :)

Good guide, though i didn't need one from hanging below an enemy, one from above was sufficient

Truly excellent work on this guide here Uprisen! I love how you mentioned using the Hookshot for hanging on the ceiling. I was running around trying to do it from a ledge or the horizontal money bars ladders when I was testing it out awhile back! Thank you so much for not only the kudos and the Credit, but also for putting this out there for people!

For the one to takedown from above, I found that you need to be right above them. I used the hook and my feet were right at the guys head and it gave me the 'B' prompt to takedown.

Yes, thank you for mentioning doing the hanging above takedown while using the hook shot. That above one was the only move I still needed and got it done shortly after picking up the hook. The ol twisting the noggin with the feet, classic move... lol

Thank you for listing the different techniques to take down an enemy with melee.

I didn't know that a double takedown was possible. Then I realized they were plenty of opportunities near one of the elevators where they are sitting in computer chairs at terminals.

There are various types of Melee attacks. They are not all listed here.

The Melee attacks you must perform are:
DROPKICK - When jumping at a enemy from a low angle and using melee, you will perform a Dropkick.
HANGING TAKEDOWN x 2 - Use your Hook to grapple to a wall right above an enemy, then melee to perform this, or you can hang on a ledge directly above an enemy and melee. You can also perform a Hanging Takedown when hanging on a ledge just below an enemy. Both variants must be done.
DROP-DOWN TAKEDOWN - Fall directly on top of an enemy and melee to perform this.
DOUBLE TAKEDOWN - Simply stand in between 2 enemies and melee to perform this.

There are various places around the map that you can acquire these. Some can even be acquired in the prologue! You will most likely acquire this Trophy naturally.

You need to do a takedown while running, while hanging below a soldier, while landing directly on a solder (not ground pound), and while near two solders. Just press to melee whenever the prompt appears and it will unlock eventually.

To get the trophy you need to complete 5 types of melee combat.
  • Dropkick - When you jump on an enemy from a low angle.
  • HANGING TAKEDOWN v1. - Using the grappling hook, you need to cling to the wall directly above the enemy, then perform melee combat You should also perform a HANGING Takedown while hanging on a ledge just below the enemy.
  • HANGING TAKEDOWN v2. - You should also perform a HANGING Takedown while hanging on a ledge just below the enemy.
  • DROP-DOWN TAKEDOWN - You need to fall on the enemy from above and perform melee combat.
  • DOUBLE TAKEDOWN - This move is performed on 2 enemies. The ideal place to perform this will be a small “barracks”, where 2 enemies are sitting at the computer and will not see you at all. Just run up close to them and perform melee combat.
The game offers a bunch of places and variations to perform all the techniques. Most likely the trophy will drop on its own.

All techniques are obtained by themselves except one, hanging over the enemy and grabbing his neck with your legs, followed by twisting.
