I think I can do Sword Base much, much faster :)
Found a way to rush the beginning?
Well, yes in theory. Its possible to go from the cutscene to opening the gate in about a minute on Legendary (*coug*targetlocator*cough*). Obviously it'd take a bit longer on Mythic though. But the margins for error are tiny and I haven't nailed a Legendary run using it yet so I don't feel like trying it on Mythic personally!
So, with the route I'm planning, the beginning section would still take 5 or so minutes. The major gains, however, would come between opening the gate and getting back to it. You can basically rush both areas, straight to the switches, with not too much trouble and get a Guass without really having to kill anything (and if you've had a poke around my fileshare/youtube, you'll know half the plan already).
With some guass-age heading back into sword base, and some Concussion Rifle Jumps once inside, it shouldn't clock in any longer than 20 minutes.
Which, of course, would be way better than my previous run of, like, an hour.
I'd love to see a Sword Base speedrun personally. The first fight will be hard to maximize even with the Target Locator, but the rest of the mission I'm sure can be done in a hit-and-run fashion with the right path. I don't KNOW this "right path," but it sounds like you do and I'd really like to see it happen :)
