Armstrong can also catch your sword strikes in blade mode so they probably all have similar BM-like speed amps to where they would scale to it.

Doens't work because then it just loops around and makes Raiden as fast as his own Blade Mode n base, and even faster in Blade Mode.
Just creates a infinite circular scaling chain.

Armstrong would have to be significantly faster than Raiden in that case, because he catches it even when you're attacking his back. He just magically turns around in 1 frame.

And that's contradictory to this:


Although that statement looks more like a gameplay guide to the Revengeance difficulty where he actually one-shots you with each blow, because then you also have this:
which is contradictory to the "Even a single blow from him could prove fatal"

So it looks like there's a contradiction in any case.

I just finished beating Psycho Mantis in MGS1 and I was wondering if Mantis had some kind of plot manipulation?

I had to switch to Controller 2 to be able to hit Mantis because he could predict my moves in Controller 1, and he would throw a black screen with "Hideo" written on it.
