iamnoob Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 So this thing - Akinator - is going pretty viral among Youtubers. Basically what it does is it asks a bunch of questions in an attempt to find out who you are thinking of be it 2D or 3D. I decided to find out if it knew more obscure people. Namely VN characters. I immediately thought it would only include more famous RL people or more popular anime characters and decided to test it out. So I thought of some of my favorite characters ( see what I did there? ) and tested it out. It knows Mare O_O Granted Hoshimemo isn't the most obscure VN of all time, it still surprised me that it knew any VN characters at all. BTW if anyone knows how they are doing this please tell me. If I had to guess it's that they are using external databases and narrowing it down using their algorithm. Anyway here's the link to this maddening sorcery. http://en.akinator.com/ It knows some older VNs but obviously not more recent ones. Post below who you thought of and if this thing managed to guess correctly. Have fun. Quote
Yuuko Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I tried it few weeks ago and was able to get Shinku. Took me few tries though xD Quote
Nosebleed Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Nope, couldn't get the character I wanted, and I somehow ended up with this as the final answer: The character was this by the way. Turns out she wasn't in the database~ Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Pretty much any of the characters I try are there in the database, it's just a bit harder for it to guess those ones because hardly any people choose them, and the correct set of questions aren't set in stone. Quote

OriginalRen Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Ah, is it that time of year again to bring out Akinator? This is probably the 6th time it's been mentioned since 2012 I want to say. You're all so young. Quote
kyrt Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Lol it took 49 questions but they finally got the character I was thinking of from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (beatrice)...wow rather amazing. 69 Questions but they finally got Komachi Tsugumi. 28 questions and they finally got Nice Holystone 24 questions for Kino from Kino's Journey I need to go more obscure... I beat it by suggesting Honoka from the anime The Third. it's been updated since I last checked it out. Quote
mjriedstra Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I tried to make it guess Haru from G-senjou and after 26 questions it told me I was thinking of Aiko from Hunie Pop. So ... yeah. Either I suck at this, or it does. Quote
GetterEmperor Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 It knew. It took a couple tries with both though. Quote
OriginalRen Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Didn't get Y'shtola from Final Fantasy XIV after 4 different attempts. Such a waste of an application: Quote
kyrt Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 lol I just did Yshtola and the first guess was Coconut from Nekopara so it was close Really I got Yshtola on question 26 with 192 people having already done it (unless you just made it and that many people searched for her since then). Quote
InvictusCobra Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 After around 60 questions and 4 attempts, little Genie man couldn't identify Saya from Saya no Uta. For shame. Quote

Desert35 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Was thinking of Furude Rika and it found it at the 36 question! Quote

Kaguya Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I've played around with it for quite some time a few months ago. It could guess most characters from translated VNs, given enough questions. It was a failure with jp-only ones. Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 The least searched a character is, more likely it'll take a while to guess it, even if it's in the database. The only one of mine it tried to guess but wasn't in the database was Coco from Katahane. (...I think) It was a failure with jp-only ones. Quote
InvictusCobra Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 After 70 questions, Mr. Three Wishes couldn't come to the conclusion it was Mitarai Yuuna from Starless. What ignorance. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Found Sora Akanegasaki in 25 questions. GG I'm glad that 820+ people played to find her. brb, trying Mamankyoushitsu heroines edit: Was trying Honoka, got Ever17's Tsugumi. G fucking G Quote
suikashoujo Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I once did Nemu from euphoria, and he never managed to get it. That said, I once got this result when I was thinking of Komari: Quote
Funyarinpa Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Couldn't guess Sayless (don't bother asking if you don't know from which game she is, that's a spoiler) SHIT TIER H I T T I E R Quote
Yuri Hunter Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 If you defeat him and give the name, on the next attempt you will (obviously) get your girl or boy. I found one with 9 questions. Quote
