I was watching the Colosseum cutscenes in English the other day and I could have sworn that Hades had correct lip syncing in the English Dub. I looked at it REALLY closely and I'm relatively sure that he's been synced with the English Dub and not the Japanese one.
I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't the only one who can see this...
I think one of the most obvious lip syncing is when Hades is first seen:

ENG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgyA9t7_Bas&feature=youtu.be&t=48m28s
If you look carefully in the Japanese dub during the "Seriously? I missed." line you can see that Hades mouth fully opens in the final syllable of the line (seen below), but looking at the English dub, the mouth syncs up to James Woods' (English VA) dialogue and the mouth never fully opens like that.
I find this weird, especially because I've been informed and noticed that most of the remastered Re:Coded and all of the remastered 358/2 Days cutscenes are synced with the Japanese VA.
Maybe some animators had some spare time in between the Japanese and English releases for 2.5 HD Re:MiX and decided to convert some of the more obvious lip syncing animations to English?
