What's that fire on the characters?

SVG? What's that? Anyway, it looks more like they're hurt from some fire attack than with some active benefit. I would edit that if I were with the devs. Put something more discreet yet noticeable to indicate that the effect is on.

SPG gives you access to more combos as you can cancel into more things and you get a discount on EX moves. The Fire is because you're Revving up which if you go to far you go into basically burn out.
Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAGA1ZJmpRY is a video that explains a lot of the mechanics.
Edit: the flames just show that you are in your SPG, I was going off memory.

It's a buff when their SPG is active.

I have noticed that some of Billy and Mai's moves also leave a lingering fire effect on opponents, however, it's very different and easy to tell apart from SPG's effect. The whole character is shaded orange from these fire moves and it doesn't seem to last long.

I don't think a more obvious effect is necessary for SPG. Also consider that you can simply look at an opponent's health bar and the announcer calls it out when a player enters SPG. I'd hate it if the character constantly glowed green or something the whole time while their SPG was active.

On the contrary, I think it should be more discreet (though still noticeable), not more obvious. That fire just looks weird to me.

In terms of visuals i don't like the flames either but it is such a minor thing and the rest of the game looks so good that i can't complain tbh, specially compared to KOFXV

I think it's a minor flaw too, but unsurprisingly I'm not the only one who doesn't like them so I hope they edit them into something more discreet. Could be just a quick light blink around their bodies when the SPG activates.
