I think Killer Instinct is done for in the competitive scene. It missed being the 9th game for EVO by quite a margin. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Pokken Tournament blew it out of the water in donation totals and number of donors. What was surprising was the significant lack of donations for Mortal Kombat X. And once again, Smash Bros gets two entries into EVO between Melee and Wii U. Personally, I think it's shaming that one franchise is taking two slots and that Smash Bros Melee continues to be a part of EVO.
