I used to play on a controller. I eventually got a Hori arcade fighting stick for my Xbox 360. On a controller it's a bit tougher to do moves that need diagonal directions, but the shortcuts for things like P+K or K+G do help make the game a bit easier.
I think it's still possible to be competitive with a controller, just be prepared to play without access to your character's complete move set.

As others have already mentioned, VF was designed for Arcades and joysticks, but don't let that deter you if you're a "pad-warrior". I'm one, all my life I have been...I've tried out the stick numerous times, but it just doesn't feel right to me...It just doesn't click at all... So, I stick to pad for fighters...Be it a Shoryuken in Street Fighter, an Electric Wind God Fist in Tekken or even Akira's SPOD/Byakko(Double Palm Move) Follow-ups...They are all possible to execute on pad consistently with practice and patience...Believe me, I've been through many blisters on my left thumb. lol... So in the end, just go for whichever way you feel comfortable playing with...You won't be at any disadvantage either way if you praactice hard enough! 
Every single pad akira i've played or seen can do KNEE/SPoD/Double Palm on it's own yeah... but i've still never seen one that can pull off his combos consistently.
There's enough of you Akira Pad Warriors out there for someone to make a vid showing you doing stuff like, 666p> p> 33p> 3346p, KNEE> p> KNEE> 3346p or whatever with your L337 jedi ninja pad skillz... right?

Okay, well, I didn't even mention KNEE, for some reason I still have trouble getting that off regularly...Need more practice on that one...
As for the combos, well, you may have a point there...I concede to that point...I'll still stick with pad personally though, it's not like I have a choice. lol

Playing with a pad is not a handicap as such, but I think its not ergonomic due to the design of the game.
