Algol bubble zoning was actually nerfed in SC4: Broken Destiny (the PSP one), he didn't have his infinite anymore and Guard Impacting a bubble left Algol completely open, so you couldn't spam them anymore.
The director of the SCV did mention in one of his early tweets that SC4: BD was supposed to get a console release, but didn't make it. It's entirely possibly that some of the changes will be brought over from it (case in point, Aeon having some of Kratos' moves)
