Its pretty amazing, it guessed revy, kenshiro, and even rio.
Doesn't have to be anime, just any famous character / person from a game, movie, tv show etc... -
That's pretty crazy, it must have a huge database. It guessed Hiruma and Nijima right. Although it took it a while to guess Nijima.
-
I beat it with Taiso from Giant Robo and Flex Mentallo from Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, but it did guess Emperor Norton.
-
It got it right when I was thinking of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park, but I defeated it with M. Hulot from M. Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle, Playtime, The Illusionist, et cetera.
-
Interestingly, it got it wrong when I was thinking of Kamen Rider V3, but it made three guesses before giving up, and they were all Kamen Riders (#1, Black, and Amazon).
I also re-tried Taiso, and it guessed right that time. -
That is freaky. It got MC Frontalot and Kylar Stern(Night Angel Trilogy). It hit a point in the questions on Kylar where I just started getting weirded out.
It didn't get Jonmarc Vahanian though, the Han Solo of the Chronicles of the Necromancer series. Not great but I liked him. -
It correctly guessed Dikembe Mutombo but it seems to get confused it you contradict yourself/answer randomly. Some questions seem to be more weighty than others such as "does your character have a funny name".

So the program can't figure out who you're thinking of if you lie to it?
-
Think of it like the biggest Guess Who? game.

Surprising how that works isn't it. -
I have been vaguely mentioned on the podcast. I can die happy now.
-
I have now introduced it to Akira from Odin: Photon Space Sailer Starlight
I might be a bad person. -
I was thinking my girlfriend, but it guess my mother. What does it mean?
-
Holy Shit! It totally guessed Lord Bowler from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Edit: But it totally couldn't guess Viva! -
[quote="JeffersonPierce"]I was thinking my girlfriend, but it guess my mother. What does it mean?
I think you need to ask Freud that question.
It got it right after an extra 5 questions. Haman Karn being the character. -
Dante (Devil May Cry), Rand al'thor (Wheel of Time), Sheeva Alimar (Resident Evil 5), and Jin Kusaragi (Blaz Blue) are no match for the mighty genie.

You are answering the questions wrong, i got all of those right. -
It initially guessed Paul Atradies, I told it no and it asked 4 more questions and it got Kimball Kinnison, though it linked a picture from the anime and I was totally thinking of the book damnit.
It guessed Winston Smith from 1984 in 20 questions.
Here's some fun results:
Santa Claus

Do you not believe in the power of our lord and savior Dave Lister? -
That's fucked up. It got me too, and I was trying SO HARD to trip it up!!
It guessed in like 12 questions: "Is your character.... GENE STARWIND?!"
My reaction: "fuck you genie, that was supposed to be a hard one." -

I think if you're going with historical figure Jesus, consensus is that he probably existed, and I think theologically speaking, he was a human being. If you're going with the character of Jesus and belief in his divinity, then he would have supernatural powers, and also be the main character of the book in which he appears, right? In any case, there are two different answers to the human being question in there. -
It took 40 Qs to get Ryoma Nagare.
Could not get Steve Jobs for some reason.
It got Simon from Gurren Lagann.
It took 30 Qs to get Bubblegum Crisis 2040 Nene.
He got Domon Kasshu from g gundam.
40Q to get Gainer Sanga.
Didn't get Golgo 13. -
Sure as shit got Golgo for me. And it said he's been played over 200 times. Maybe you need to be better at questions.
-
It got Johann Sebastian Bach however it didn't get particularly specific about it.
However it did not get Musashi because it did not ask "Is your character fat?" although two of the guesses were Kouji Kabuto and Ryouma Nagare. -
So uh, it definitely just guessed these two characters when I tried them:
David Riley (Secret Kung Fu Genius)
Joel White (Violent Fist Squadron Joelkaizer) -
He could not guess Hebopi. A sad day indeed.
-
It couldn't get Mad Bull, John Estes, but then after I gave it the name there were 2 other copies of it
-
I don't understand why Hebopi isn't more iconic.
-
Okay what is this:
I was trying to make it guess Régine Chassagne, the chick from Arcade Fire. -
It's right though. Who wouldn't marry Tifa? She got them big boobs.
-
I find the fact she can combo your ass more appealing. Yes, tighten those fingerless gloves then kick a dolphin at me.
-
It was able to guess Golgo 13, Ashram and Hikaru. It did not get April from Sol Bianca though. I was able to stump him. And I stumped him with Angel from Angel Cop.
-
ROFL... Is your character the son of god? Yes.. (should obviously know the answer at this point...) Is your Character Black?
