Well I learned the beginner solution at first and then learned about the existence of methods like CFOP, Roux, ZZ and the rest. I looked at CFOP first, but I'm really really slow with F2L, and all the algorithms and cases you have to learn look really daunting. Then I found a beginner tutorial for Roux and idk, I like the feel of it and you don't need that many algorithms to get started. Block building gives you a lot of options, for the corners you can make do with sune and jperm (or just memorize 7 OLL cases with the cross), and the rest is pretty straightforward.

Also spinning those Ms gives me my daily dose of seratonin.

Interesting. I have already done a few solves with Roux and I understand what you feel. I find this method more intuitive and easier to grasp.

What's your CFOP best time when you started to learn?

I never completed a CFOP solve, I just got to F2L and then looked at Roux and it seemed more attractive. I need around 2:30 with the beginner's method, and with Roux it varies a lot on how my block building goes, but my fastest was a very lucky 1:36.
