'For Honor' style combat system

Good day everyone

I am currently working (slowly but surely) on a open world medieval fantasy game and for a while I’ve struggled on deciding what type of combat system i wanted the players to experience. Then i played the ‘For Honor’ Beta and instantly knew that i would like to create a slimier style combat system, like a 1v1 duel where you need to time your blocks and attacks correctly and the player would be able to release them selves from the locked combat state by running away, at which point the character would change stance to normal. The only problem is that i have no idea how to create such a system and so have come here seeking some help and guidance.

Thank you for taking time to read this
