What happens if you select reverse before starting the engine, and then proceed to start?

Does it try and creep or does the engine struggle to crank over if you do it that way?

Have you tried waiting a few seconds after pushing the clutch in before selecting reverse?
Or selecting a forwards gear before reverse.....
