Test this Genie out. Think of a character, be it a real person, a video game character, a character in a movie, book, or what have you, and answer the questions accordingly. Have fun!

Akinator!

So far this guy has guessed most characters I can think of, including obscure ones such as Sheena from Tales of Symphonia. Pretty fun thing to mess around with.

but i got him with Charlie from SF, he chose Guile haha.

so do these things just keep narrowing down the possible people after each question?

I'm guessing it has something to do with assigning the highest picked number of the five answer choices for each question to every character. It's a continuous process of elimination and question-replacement (meaning it would [re]place questions into certain parts depending on how the preceding questions were answered).

I love the Internet. This is my newest motto. This thing just got my first try: Shiki from TWEWY. And EVE from Wall-E. And Gary from SpongeBob. I love it when the Internets are smarter than me like this.

This thing is creepy. I as thinking of the pokemon Giratina, it doesn't een ask me questions close to pokemon related things, and still gets it right. Out of the 5 times I played, he got 3 right. They were Blrog, Clippy, and Giratina. The ones he got wrong were Captain Falcon (suprisingly) and Shoop da Whoop.

Holy ****, this is pretty cool!

It guessed Dr. Cox (from Scrubs), Axl Rose, Mick Mars (guitarist for Motley Crue... the questions weren't even that specific!), Slash, Bill (from Left 4 Dead... I can't believe it got this one!), Dirty Harry, and Goku.

But it didn't get Coco Bandicoot (from Crash Bandicoot), Joe Elliot (singer for Def Leppard), Nancy Wilson (from Heart), Cobi Jones (former US soccer player), Laura Dern, or Gilby Clarke.

It managed to get Xiahou Dun although i think it cheated and looked at the username I entered because it's questions were weird. I then chose Akinator and it couldn't get it...


I lol'd...

I did one randomly before and one of the questions was "Is your character a porn star?" and I said no.Questions later, that came up. Akinator can be stupid at times.
I got is you character Asian? Yes.

Is your character Japanese? No.

Is your character Korean? No.

Is your character Taiwanese? No.

Is your character Chinese? Yes.

Is your character Slovakian. Wtf?

While going for Xiahou Dun.

This is actually pretty cool. He guessed a few wrong, like Gohma and Amazy Dazzee.

He also guessed Mallow. =3

The fact that he guessed Klaymen (from Skullmonkeys) for me on my first Akinator run-through amazes me to this day. I didn't expect him to even be in the database.

EDIT: Despite him being wrong in guessing Klaymen just now, he guessed Jiub (from Morrowind) instead. This is too awesome:

He got the wrong guess, I was thinking of Marth. He gave me Sakata Gintoki.
And he guessed Ceada wrong.
And Mr. T.
Finally he guessed Bruce Lee wrong too!

**** he guessed Ethan Waber from Phantasy Star and he guessed Tinky Winky from Teletubbies.
Lmao, I did Tinky Winky too. I wasn't sure if he were a guy or not. o_o

He just guessed the Great Deku Tree and my lover. Lol.

From the regular 20, he couldn't guess Afro Samurai.

Of course he'd get Megan Fox right when "Has your character played in a movie with robots?" came up.

OH MY ****ING GOD!!!

HE GUESSED CABOOSE FROM RED VS BLUE?!

From all the guys in Blue he guessed Caboose right.

This thing is awesome.

EDIT: This thing even got Jan Smit right after 2 tries. He's a Dutch singer. WTF?!

He couldn't get Garric Or Reise from lord of the isles :D

Also this thing adds the answers you give to it's knowledge base to improve it's accuracy i think. So in a year or so it's probably gonna be harder to fool.

Failed me, I was thinking of Zero Beat from JSRF, not Metal Gear Rex.

Failed me again, I was thinking of Jill Valentine from RE5, gives me Aya Brea from Parasite Eve. This genie stinks.

I love this thing. Only one I remember successfully getting was Nanoha, a character from an anime I watched, but there were others my roommates successfully got as well.

Oh, and the results can be so funny when you pick random answers....
