Klaatu (THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL) in 25 questions. (Although at the 19-question mark, it first guessed James Bond.)

Re: Try this character guessing application out......

18 to get The Girl from My Sassy Girl, 19 to get Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, 27 to get Korben Dallas from The Fifth Element.

It didn't come up with the lead detective (Park Doo-Man) in Memories of Murder after 50+ guesses, so I had to add him myself. It also didn't get Ink after 60+ guesses, but wouldn't let me add him since "the name is too short" (despite guessing the single-letter character V from V for Vendetta earlier in the game).

60 guesses couldn't come up with Father Damien Karras. Asked me who my character was and added it to it's database, proclaiming "Well done! But I was pretty close, I will do better next time".

Re: Try this character guessing application out......

R Daneel Olivaw in 25 questions, second guess.
Dante in 29, second guess (first was Casanova.) And that was with about 5 I Don't Know answers.
Akinator in 12 (I guess that's kind of a gimme).
That's pretty cool.

Couldn't guess Leondegrance from Excalibur, but did guess several other knights of the round table. It did guess Ilia from Star Trek in 20 questions, though.

Re: Try this character guessing application out......

After 7 wrong guesses I needed to add Dr. Auschlander from St. Elsewhere.

No go on George Segal.

I did get this.

And Yvaine (Stardust) in 20 questions, which surprised me since the questions it was asking didn't seem to be leading in the right direction.

Re: Try this character guessing application out......

Pretty cool. The only thing I'm not sure of is when it asks "Does your character play in movies?" is if it means the character from a film is an actor, or if the character itself is FROM a movie. After a few goes, I think it's the latter due to a few odd results.

It's gotten most of mine in 20 questions:

Travis Bickle
Lux from The Virgin Suicides
Batman
Dirk Diggler (straight up asked "Is your character a porn actor?" at #19)

Best (wrong) result:
Trying to get Hellboy and got Gayle Whoever, Oprah's BFF!
