Even as the developers at FromSoftware continue to insist that Armored Core 6 is not a Soulslike, Soulslike fans are continuing to get very excited for the mech game's new mechanics, including what sure sounds like Sekiro's posture system.
As detailed in a recent PlayStation Blog post, if an Armored Core "takes too many hits over a short period of time, its Attitude Control System will be overloaded, making it vulnerable for a short time. Both continuous hits and big, powerful strikes will cause stagger damage, encouraging you to keep up the pressure on the opponent. The damage inflicted to an enemy’s stagger gauge varies from weapon to weapon. It can also be affected by factors like distance, adding additional strategy in equipping and using these armaments in combat. "
