As an avid comic reader, I can tell you that's just a wimpy plot-device to excuse why she is depicted in such skimpy clothing, not a reasonable explaination for it.
Well of course it's to keep her in skimpy clothing, but it's apart of her lore now. So that's the new52 real answer lol.
 
I think she will be a hybrid character focused on zoning and rushdowns, her trait will most likely be enhanced strength/starbolts/ or access to her eye lasers, aka supergirl. I'm curious what her 5th gear slot could be though?

Kari Wahlgren is a great voice actress. I think she strikes a nice balance with Starfire between the more innocent and powerful aspects of the character, personally. I'm glad to hear she'll be back.

The only thing I am really hoping for is her trait to be like Guile's V-trigger... That would be AMAZING.
Something like Supergirl's with a start-up/cooldown but extreme zoning.

There are actually lots of different directions they could go in with Starfire's moves tbh. Yeah, the 'flinging green energy' angle will obviously be there, but let's not forget that she's also extremely skilled at various martial arts and has extensive weapons training too.

And can I just say that I'm very grateful that Hynden Walch won't be voicing her? Hearing her voice in Injustice would remind me far too much of Teen Titans Go and consequently seem very ill-fitting.

Why do so many people have a problem with a character wearing skimpy clothes? I understand if a game has every female character having huge tits & wearing Bikinis but if there is a character whose personality is they dont give a fuck or they like to flaunt there sexuality why is that a bad thing?

Urien only wore a speedo in third strike and i never hear anyone complain. When he was announced for SFV all i heard was people wanting his 3S costume and when it was found out you could have speedo Urien people were rejoicing. Why is okay for Urien to be almost naked but for Starfire people cry? I hope we get gear options with her in just pasties and a thong on just to piss you people off.

Well first of all, the character wasn't born that way, lol. She's fictional. Her 'personality' is not something she dictates. Male comic writers decided she should like being naked. I don't have a problem with it in the case of Starfire, personally, or Emma Frost over in Marvel, so long as other female characters wear proper clothes.

But come on, it's an obvious false equivalence to say 'people like this one naked man, therefore it's fine for women to be naked!' Urien's thong outfit is something people like largely for its comedy factor, for one thing. It's also specifically beloved because he is very rare, whereas nearly-nude women are everywhere in video games, especially fighting games. The comparison is silly.
