Earth feedback (so far):

Up+attack does nothing (for now)? There's an animation, but it produces no elemental effect. It looks like an upward-angled double punch, but opponents don't take damage standing in it, nor being airborne and getting "hit" by the animation. Assuming this action isn't complete yet.

Double-tapping jump creates a pillar of rock, which is cool, but feels like what up+attack should be doing, and there's no airborne attacks. Makes sense for earth, but feels like you could add a groundslam attack? up+attack while in the air, down+attack, and left/right/neutral+attack, currently all just queue up a normal ground attack which fires once you land.

Down+attack creates a small rock pile, which can be shoved with a basic attack to knock the opponent down. If it's going to the left, they get bounced upward and the rock pile goes past them, but if it's being pushed to the right, it'll push the target all the way to the far side of the map xD while being inconsistent on directions, it also makes it clear that pushing enemies off-screen is a thing, and the other player can move while off-screen, but can't see what they're doing. Feels like zooming out might be helpful here? Or shifting to splitscreen when you get far enough apart?

The basic attack animation is pretty slow, but cool. No charge attack (yet), though. The redirect is really fast, so it feels like when fighting earth vs. earth, waiting for your opponent's throw is a better move.

It's also nice to see that ducking works to dodge the current basic attacks. It'll be interesting to see how future attacks interact with this, now that it's an option.
