There is a collection of Yang SH form clips up over at .net. See also Derek's recent thread on "Good PH."
To my eyes - and it IS a casual viewing: I practice neither Yang nor Wu style - the Yang SH forms look very similar to the Wu Fast Form.
Neither the movements themselves, nor the way they are executed bear any resemblance to Ma Yueliang's form. There is not a single movement that is identical.
The problem is, that now someone said that Yang SH's taiji looked like Ma YL's and people will remember and repeat that without actually looking at the respective performances. Yang Chengfu's form for instance is much closer to Ma Yueliang's than this one
