Steve both the forms you posted Tung And Wu fast forms follow the same sequences that all the major forms follow
Not that I can see, particularly not the footwork. Ymmv.

But also, if the outside appearance was irrelevant, then that also means that teachers are unable to visually judge how well their students are doing. That would be hilarious.
They're just staring at their students, clueless about how well they are doing.

There's really a lot of misunderstanding in general around taijiquan but fajin is like ground zero.
In Yang style it refers to a particular way of generating force. We store energy like drawing an arrow, keep it ready as we move, and release it as a single force vector like shooting an arrow.
Most folks in casual play haven't trained the sparrow's hop so it is irresponsible to send them out with too much force for a number of reasons. You learn how to work with people though. Generally they are moving against their will and out of their control. It can greatly agitate some people which is another good reason to keep things as light as possible.
What people miss is that they're looking at training. We're trying to get the maximum effect with the minimum effort and force.
Once you've got that, you can start working on making it more powerful, but until you do you're working on something else.

Combat forms is closer to the truth
They are fast because circles are smaller and more direct
They can be done both fast and slow
I do both Tung fast forms and they follow the sequence and directions of the 108
Even the sequences in their form that are explicitly about punching and kicking are still done at a constant speed.

See, y'all always want to take and make things personally with your nasty little snipy remarks.
