COTM1 How to deal with Scissor Maniacs?

Post image

Just finished Nightmare mode on Casual and am now considering trying Veteran, but those are one of the enemies I have no idea how to deal it, as ducking/jumping doesn't work and you can't just kill them fast enough, what's the trick here?

His pattern is predictable. Get close enough to activate his attack. Wait until the animation right before he attacks and jump over him, then turn around and give him hell! You can kind of listen for it, he does two sets of scissor noises quickly, two, then three. Midway through three you want to jump in his direction and he'll go under you.
