Taijiquan Comparison: Yang, Wu, Wu/Hao, and Sun styles

Isn’t Chang Taiji actually Yang Taiji ?
That Chang Taiji video is not the final version of the Chang Taiji.

It's the same 108 moves long Taiji form. The following have been changed.

1. No head turning on "step back repulse monkey".
2. "Double pulling" has 1 palm up and 1 palm down.
3. No "embrace tiger" but "well fed tiger return back to mountain".
4. No "move arm like fan" but "shoulder extend to arm".
5. "Twin peaks to the ear" has been changed with 2 palms strike instead of 2 hook punches.
6. "Cross leg" has integrated Xingyi Pi Quan into it.
7. "Left/right striking tiger" has been changed into 2 hook punches.
8. Leg skill has been integrated into the form (this is on going progress).
9. Variance speed instead of constant speed (this is on going progress).
10. ...
 
The comparison should include "Chang Taiji" as well.

Should also include Chen and Zhaobao, but it doesn’t. More Chen though, it seems to be focusing on the main 5 families, by omitting one. Not including offshoots like Chang. Take it for what it is
