I think he's fucking with me
 
Tried the Driver from Drive but it guessed Lestat from Interview from the Vampire

edit: Oh it continues on. Asked more questions and guessed somebody named Parker? Looks like a comic book character.

....Well it took 88 questions but it did finally make the correct guess.
 
Tried Captain Francis Crozier of the HMS Terror but he guessed Tom Crean & Blackbeard instead. Suck it, Akinator. Tho to be fair, Tom Crean was a pretty close guess
 
He couldn't guess Mr Lion from Twin Spica, though in teh space of three questions he asked me if my character was male (yes) then if he wore miniskirts (no)
 
Okay, let's try this.

Round one: Dark Pit.
Didn't get it on the first shot, but picked up the spare. When it started asking "Does your character have wings?" and "Is your character a copy of another person?" I kind of knew it had him.

Round two: Tiki (From Fire Emblem)
Well this was fun, it guessed Nowi. Well this was kind of mean, really. "Is your character linked with dragons?" "Is it from a Nintendo Game?" "Is it from the Fire Emblem series?" "Does your character have green hair?" "Is your character more than 50 years old?" Yes to all, and yes it covers both of them. Then it guessed all over the place before coming back to Tiki.

Okay, fine. Time to get serious. Akinator I dare you to find...

Final round: Dobkeratops (First boss from R-Type)
Victory! 80 questions in and I win!

Take that Akinator! You may know your angels and dragons (at least on the second attempt), but I know an alien you did not. And that thing is like everywhere in the R-Type games and on the cover art. Obscure, kind of, R-Type is not the biggest name in gaming anymore, but it's named, so it counts.
 
I got him with Khia, although he came kind of close with Lil Kim and Mary J Blige. Also got him with The Brickster from Lego Island.

And it took him awhile to get Scott Pilgrim, longer than it took to get Sherri and Terri from The Simpsons. Kind of surprised.
 
He got the Golgothan Shit Demon from Dogma in like 12 questions, lol.
 
Stumped it again with Carré Callaway from Queen Kwong. I guess the trick is to feed it people that no one's ever heard of. I must be some kind of genius.
 
I wanted to see how fast he would get Jesus. I had to answer some of them I don't know but I was finally asked if the character had white skin, and of course I said no. He guessed 'black jesus' which seems odd.
 
Powdered Toast Man was also an easy guess for the Akinator.
 
I stumped him, he could not guess Jondar (HE WAS A TEMPLAR!!) from Diablo 3. He guessed a few other D1-3 chars before giving up.
 
Well, fuck me.

He just guessed Ebola, too.

I tried to reproduce the french taunter, but instead got

and I was even asked if he was french! what the hell

and in the way I got

I am starting to think akinator's knowledge base has gotten just too big and it's asking dumb things. I also got asked if he was from an all boys kpop band????
 
he has a hard time with more obscure dragon quest monsters. i'm sure he knows stuff like slime and dracky but toss in battlerex/hackasaurus or niterich/fright knight and he's lost.

I had it ask if the R-Type boss had ever appeared in the Eurovision Song Contest. You know, after answering no to it having legs, yes to it being able to breathe in space, and no to it being human, I just have to wonder sometimes... On the other hand, if Dobkeratops entered the Eurovision Song Contest, it probably wouldn't stick out from the crowd that much.

It probably just asks a few completely random questions once it's sure of who it is. To harvest answers for later use.

I think the problem is that it has to deal with people answering wrong, and the "probably" "probably not" answers, so it has to do that.

There must be a bunch of characters with double nationality so that's why he must ask whether people are american and then if they are british, etc etc.
 
He can't think of Frank from Once Upon a Time in the West. He thinks of The Bad instead.
 
79 questions, no correct answer.

That was easy.

Akinator obviously doesn't play MUDs.
(Deori from Legends of Terris)
 
Didn't get Simon Wolsencroft, drummer with The Fall.

Guessed it was Jon Moss of Culture Club

edit - oh he keeps going.

Alan White of Oasis, nope.

Mike Joyce of The Smiths, nope.

Stephen Morris, nope.

At this point I think he's just going to guess every Mancunian drummer.

Fucked him up with Louis Chevrolet, predictably he kept guessing Henry Ford. Dumbass.

Also couldn't get Leon Schlesinger(producer for the original Looney Tunes), guessed Walt Disney.
