The best stories with friends becoming enemies have the two friends being together for a long time with great camaraderie. Through these interactions, you can see a rivalry brewing and even jealousy spring up, where one overshadows the other or their relationship tips the other way and the other starts to hate that fact.
We know that Suzaku and Lelouch were friends a long time ago, but you don't really see much of that time. Right from the get go in the earliest episodes, you know that the two will be opposing each other from the start. Lelouch was already becoming Zero from the first episode, and Suzaku was already piloting the Lancelot.
It would have been really nice if the story had the two together from the beginning, and show the cracks starting to form within their friendship, and then finally splinter.
