Wuuuuaaaaaat!!! Omg thats so creepy. o_____o

Ninty64 · 02-27-2012, 08:13 PM

Wow XD Twice in a row...

I dunno whether to be amazed or creeped out

Edit: I like how when I thought of a DBZ character it asked me specifically if my character was from the DBZ franchise. Creepy stuff.

**PrawnSkunk** · 02-27-2012, 08:17 PM

hmmm... I guess, Flandre Scarlet (Touhou Project)

**xXOpkillerXx** · 02-27-2012, 08:24 PM

Lucy from Elfen, shit, guessed it. Gonna agree, w t vfihvbigurftuhbgitrfbjgg

Anaru · 02-27-2012, 08:26 PM

It will succeed in guessing all the 'famous' TV stars, anime characters, and game characters. Elfen Lied and Touhou Project are probably one of the most mainstream anime related things ever.. no wonder it got it right lol.

Try to have it guess Bollywood stars or characters from really obscure animations - it will fail miserably.

**Tyson ultima** · 02-27-2012, 08:29 PM

Most of the fail is actually caused by not knowing the answers confidently though when i tried for the obscure it still managed to get it right. Seeing a thread on 4chan and everyone is flipping shit lol

**Ziergdsx18** · 02-27-2012, 08:31 PM

Couldn't guess Zeorymer or Vindel from Super Robot Wars A. Owned!

**Tyson ultima** · 02-27-2012, 08:34 PM

Managed to guess both Usami Haru and Shiratori Mizuha so mind = blown

**gnr61** · 02-27-2012, 08:36 PM

didn't guess Arch0wl this game sucks

**megamon88** · 02-27-2012, 08:37 PM

I've known about this for more than a year lmfao, they even have an iPhone app.

It was fun the first few times but then it just got kinda old.

It's pretty cool how the database is pretty much user-moderated through use though.

**Coolboyrulez0** · 02-27-2012, 08:38 PM

have been playing this for years in my web / digital class. gets it 9/10 times but have tricked it on a multitude of occasions.

Anaru · 02-27-2012, 08:43 PM

This 'app' has been out for a good few years now lol - it's been on facebook for the longest time. :P Don't see why 4channers are flipping shit over akinator..

Try having it guess any kid from '20th Century Boys' and watch it fail. -_-

akinator comes into the limelight every half year or so

Right? The fact that it eventually learns characters it guesses wrong on enough is pretty much the coolest thing ever. Given another decade or so it won't even be fair. The breadth of its database is impressive too. It tends to guess pretty obscure real-life artists, painters, and writers accurately. Even when it doesn't it gets close in creepy ways.

The amount of mlp fanon/oc characters it knows is astounding xD

From asking 20 questions it can effectively eliminate over 1 million possibilities or 2^20. If you take away the probability factor and just look at it as yes or no questions than it is cutting the possible results in half after each question, or as close as it can. Once it cuts the results in half 20 times over it returns the result with the highest popularity.

But it is actually way more complicated than that and I'm not entirely sure how it works other than that.

Yo, one time Detrimentalist fed Akinator enough times that I eventually ended up in the database, rofl. I doubt it's still listed though cuz it's been a long ass time but it was hilarious as **** to see my username pop up after a few tries.

Mau5 · 02-27-2012, 09:56 PM

Face -> desk

Pretty hard

Choofers · 02-27-2012, 10:07 PM
