Latest: First release: four Marvel Rivals costumes, voice pack and sound effects.



About this mod and changelog
About this mod and credits
Nightcrawler from Marvel Rivals replaces Apollo, with a full voice pack and his own hero cards. Choose from his four Marvel Rivals costumes: Nightcrawler, Steadfast Swordsman, X-Force and Hope Soared.
Each file is the complete mod, so install only one.
Model
- I fitted each costume to Apollo’s skeleton using its original skin weights.
- His tail follows Apollo’s own tail animation.
- Each costume carries its own cutlass, and he works with Apollo’s animations, including Flawless Advance, Riposte, Disengaging Sigil and Itani Lo Sahn.
Voice
All 1,806 voice files use Nightcrawler’s Marvel Rivals recordings, matched to kills, abilities, pings, respawns and match start. Grunts, pain and death sounds use his recordings too.
Flawless Advance calls “Point: Nightcrawler!” and his ultimate lines include “Smoke und Brimstone!”
Sound effects
Flawless Advance, the Riposte dash, the Disengaging Sigil blast, Itani Lo Sahn and his melee swing use Nightcrawler’s sword and BAMF sounds. Apollo’s timing cues, footsteps and gun sounds are unchanged.
Known issues
- Subtitles still show Apollo’s original text.
- All hero names live in one game file, so this mod and other mods that rename heroes override each other.
