There really aren't any DD clones I'm aware of (Korean stuff like Black Desert has been suggested - and though it looks good in trailers irl it's a ptw grind fest afaik ..)

The nearest thing is probably other Capcom stuff - specifically Monster Hunter - they share a ton of DNA including animations.


 * That would certainly add another layer to combat, though it would make balance a bit tricky. People would choose DPS over knockdown/stagger every time... unless...

Actually Bitterblack Ilse is an example of where knockdown > attack power. but more generally maybe having a range of weapons with different weights would allow people to get a balance between speed and power.

.. there could even be different weight/size versions of the same weapon - with the bigger weapons being better if you have the strength(size) and stamina to wield it .. that leaves small weight characters at disadvantage .. which actually is right for melee - shouldn't affect 'ninja' playstyles though ..
