We study the singular limit of competition-diffusion systems in population dynamics when the initial distribution of the solution is not entirely in a domain of attraction for the system. We prove comparison principles in the viscosity sense for the solution and supersolutions to the system. By using travelling wave solutions and the distance function to interfaces, we construct a viscosity supersolution. Finally we study the dynamics of interfaces and the long time behavior of the solution for the systems with large reaction rates.
